ok -- fair enough that we got Klin (post 1990 WC) instead of a Diego who was somewhat on the decline....but wow that would have been something to see. The real miss was the 3 flying Dutchmen who apparently almost signed pre Meelan
Would have been an amazing signing can you imagine how many shirts we would have sold then and even now I would have loved to have his name on my shirt.But then we decided to get someone called kinsman who was not only a an amazing player but maybe the best player that ever wore a spurs shirt.
Would of been nice to have him, just cos, well, Maradona at spurs!!! But his career was in rapid decline at that point, he was unfit and played only 30 odd games in three seasons after that, all in Argentina. Right decision in the end.
I'm sure the fact that he failed a drug test and was kicked out of the World Cup probably played its part. Considering he also ended up being banned from playing for 12 months, it was obviously the correct decision.
Pochettino was asked whether Messi is better than Maradona. He felt that once you'd seen Maradona play, there was no comparison. Maradona is the greatest footballer, ever. Forget about the past, why not employ him for a few sessions with our strikers and midfield.
