- Don't see where i've denied this. I just said that few players have been as shite as he has.....and few players have had as many chances too prove himself as he has.What is embarrassing is your grasp of the english language mate!
Just because Bentley hasn't played well for Tottenham you cannot deny that he has played well in the Premiership. At Blackburn he was good enough for Spurs, along with others, to pay big money to get him - yes it hasn't worked because Lennon has been too good and Bentley's attitude has, if reports can be trusted, not been up to scratch.
Gio does have talent, i wouldn't argue with that. But talent doesn't always make you a good player. Quoting that Barca have sold Eto'o and Ronaldinho is a bit daft considering that they had attitude issues with eto'o and got Ibrahimovic in his place (not a bad solution) and as for Ronaldinho, he has passed his best long before they got rid of him and now just plays average at best with a slight hint of brilliance, but nothing worth keeping at the best team in the world. Barca have always regarded the younger Dos Santos as the real talent and he has now got minutes under his belt for the first team and by all accounts looks very promissing - if they sell him this summer then i'll take your point about selling us Gio.
I do look at international football and have seen Dos Santos play for Mexico but international and domestic football are two very different beasts. The tempo and shape of the games are in complete contrast and therefore make a huge difference to the way players play. Technically gifted players often perform far better in international matches due to the time and space often awarded to them. How often have we seen a player emerge as the next big thing in a world cup or the euros and then never heard much of them again, or at least little positive? Too often.
In my opinion, and i am allowed it, there are too many supporters who think about what could be and miss what is actually happening. Spurs are doing well this season, we are more competitive than we have been in years. We have a better squad than i can remember in the 20+ years i've been supporting the club and we have a manager who is able to get more out of them than the previous couple. Why do we have to look at a kid who has NEVER played well for Tottenham, who was not that impressive at Ipswich and think that he is the answer to a prayer that doesn't exist?
Sorry to have upset you so much, but really support the whole team for once and stop all this idiotic selective support. You follow Tottenham not players 1, 23, 7, 6, 14 etc..
- Really?
- It's just a little too easy saying that international football doesn't count when a certain player has shown great results in a number of games. But it's usually posted when some player isn't supposed to have what it takes.
- He had a really good time at Ipswich i'd say.
- Not upset at all. But mentioning Gio's name ahead of two english names (when wanting a alternative to open up Hull) certainly got you going.
Explain why Rose should be on our bench playing in the Premiership. What has he done to deserve that spot? Please don't mention that he has looked good in training cause if internationals is a poor way too spot quality the training ground surely wouldn't be any better.
No i can't and i don'tYou cant seriously be comparing Eto'o and Ronaldinho to GDS are you?
.
But stating that selling a player does mean that he isn't any good made me take those 2 names as exemple
