If he joins us let’s give him a fucking chance yeah. Let’s not turn him into another Postiga, Soldado or Janssen and moan about him from day one when he doesn’t bang in a ten minute hat trick.

He’ll be coming from another league with only one season of high level goal scoring behind him. He’ll take time to get used to the league and won’t be playing regularly enough to build up a rhythm.
Maybe my memory serves me wrong, but I'm pretty sure everyone on here was blinded by optimism over Soldado (and Janssen to a degree) and convinced he was just a goal away from becoming amazing for ages.

Thing is, when the crowd turns, it really turns, so once the pendulum swings the other way it's hard to remember anything positive ever being said about our duds. Soldado and Janssen are now just pure meme-fodder and the great hopes and the huge degree of denial we had over them is all but forgotten.

Cos I'm a fucking nerd I had a look through the Nkoudou thread a while back and a fair few people on here were convinced he was going to be a success over a year after he'd signed. But now we all remember it like he was a confirmed dud from day 1 with the fans baying for his blood.

He finally find his level in the Japanese League. He is now playing for Kawasaki Frontale. (Similar scoring rate as Jay Boythord, who is now 38 years old, in the same league)

Can't believe we missed out on him. Levy needs to take a long hard look at himself!

I like how he wears 95. Hope he keeps it at Spurs.
Not allowed highest number allowed is 50. It's fine if you've come through youth system It's fine but new signings aren't allowed wheb Swansea signed Renato Sanches he wanted 85 PL said no wore 35

I'm all in with this. 6ft, 25 years old, striker, useful, loan with option to buy.

What's not to like?
