Geez surely he can find a better club than QPR

Captaining Brazil at 23 to playing for qpr at 25? Would be awful and he deserves better. We might not have space for him but all of our current midfielders have a long way to go to reach the level he was at before injury.

So?
My car used go fast until it stopped working. I will still have to get a new one.

 

[Mr Pink]

Why the hell would Sandro want to go there? Napoli I get, they're a good side.

QPR are in a mess and are in a dog fight this season, no doubt.

If they're serious they'll have to offer a big fee and big wages.

Can't see it myself but they'll be desperate now after their horror start.

You wouldn't get a new one just because you need to get more petrol though, you'd fill it up and take it out, especially if it is a decent car. Sandro is way short of fitness but even half fit you can tell he still has it. A good service from Poch and he'll be firing on all cylinders.

I wonder if we'd kept modric but he'd had a series of injuries and lack of football whether our fans would have forgotten his qualities and decided we should get rid.

Financially they are a bigger club than us so money is no object

He knows Harry well

Can stay in London where he maybe happy and settled

Good place to reignite a fading career

Will play week in week out

 

[Bus-Conductor]

We have to remember he hasn't even had a full preseason like others. He looked a bit slow and got leggy second half, but he owned the midfield. His tackling drove us forward and he cut out play really well. If he can improve his fitness I just can't see how he wouldn't be a useful player for us. He's 25 and he's already a bit of a legend.

To be fair IMLS, and I say this as one of the guys fans, hell I'm a fan of the whole genre, he often looks a bit slower and leggier in the second half of games, that or he's walking the tight rope of the yellow he's picked up in the first half. He has a tendency to tear around like a nutter first half and either wear himself out or get booked, sometimes both.

I hope we don't sell him, as I think he's a specialist and at that speciality - i.e. without the ball - he's one of the best hunter gatherer's I've seen in a Spurs shirt and there are so many days in this league when that (especially combined with someone like Capoue) a player like Sandro can make a difference.

I thought the assumption was he wanted to go to Italy?

This has been a veeeery long return to fitness. How much longer do we wait? How soon will it be that he'll be injured again? During his entire tenure with this club he hasn't been relied on to carry the mail for the team. Reliability should be a big part of the player's evaluation. You can't have a player who plays 10 games, misses another 10 from injury and then has another 10 where he's only half fit every season. That situation is even historically generous for him as it has him playing 20 games.

THEN there's the aspect fans are blatantly ignoring in that his contract is running down (2 years left) and he doesn't seem too keen on signing a new one. Although I'm sure if he left cheaply with only a year left or on a free fans would find a way to blame Levy for that.

Players get unlucky, we of all teams should know that. But when fit he is still far and away our best and most natural dm. His passing is also very underrated. His performance away at ac Milan is one of the best I have seen from a spurs player.

The contract is a good point and it might well be that poch wants to move him on, but bloody QPR? That would be tragic imo

This is the entire problem to all the arguments: "When he is fit"

Ask yourselves how often that is. We don't even know if he will ever get back to 100%.

You could be right. I personally want him to stay.

Only time will tell....

Hahaha, 'Arry finally gets his man. Don't think we had a window without a Diarra link when he was here.

 

[Nicholasw23]

I guess next person 'arry will sign will be Crouchie to replace Remy

 

[Col_M]

Sandro and Soldado will be at Napoli and we'll get someone in return. In the stars and the rain

Insigne??

 

[Ledleys Knee]

Surely he must be off now with Stambouli signed. I will miss him but if he's refused to extend his contract as has been reported earlier in this thread then Levy won't feel he has a choice.

Still think Dembele is the one who doesn't fit.

Sandro was clearly following Poch's instruction to move the ball quickly and simply on Thursday. Dembele was his same old suffocating self.

 

[Snuzzy]

Just got back from holiday on the Napoli coast. Local media were reporting as fact that if they beat Bilbao they'd finalise the signing for 12mEuros. Now they've lost, they say he's the priority but it might be a loan deal with agreed fee.
