In terms out outlay, I think he's one of the absolute worst transfers we've ever done. He bases his game on going one on one with a full back, shifting the ball and whacking in a hopeful cross. Our game is generally not geared towards that, seeing as it's a terribly ineffective way of attacking. He lacks the understanding of the game to arrive in genuinely dangerous positions and being able to receive the ball in those positions. His game is still about the stuff that young pacy wingers need to outgrow if they're going to go anywhere in this game.

100% agree with the bolded part. So still a mystery why we bought him. Even if he was good at what he does he wouldn't fit a Pochettino-team.

Not sure if I agree on the rest. Ferguson based his teams around hitting a lot of crosses. Even if the initial cross isn't successful it often leads to new spaces opening up if you are successful winning the ball back after the cross.

Not suggesting N'Koudou would have been successful at Spurs regardless, but I wish we had crossed the ball a bit more. Some times it feels like we are always trying to find the perfect opening - sometimes that just slows down play too much.

Do they even let 12 year olds by the bar? That sounds illegal.
From the most recent Matchday Guide email from the club: 'We should like to remind fans that The Market Place in the South Stand is designed as a family-friendly area for all to enjoy.'

Looking on his twitter account he appears to love the club already, re-tweeting lots of Spurs related tweets. He genuinely seems delighted to have finally signed, and I can't wait to see what he can bring to our squad.

Like Son, he has an incredibly infectious aura about him, and a strong personality which will hopefully see him settle quickly. He's got fan favourite written all over him.
