Player Watch - Sergio Reguilón

[DiVaio]

So they didn't want him due to his wages which essentially the same thing as La Liga lower level teams who don't want him on those wages

But your point was his former teams didn't want him which is not true. He's easily above level of La Liga lower teams, and with La Liga salary cap only top3 clubs could probably afford it.

 

[talkshowhost86]

Sadly I think his inability to defend is too serious for even Ange to consider him.

 

[McFlash]

Some parallels with Chelsea behaviour here - not to the same degree, but deciding the guy isn't for us and then not facilitating a way out for him.

He wasn't terrible at Brentford and we have no cover for Udogie. Unless there's some major inter-personal issue, it's surely not the worst idea to have him as left back cover til January.

It's not like we haven't tried though, he's had enough loans and chances.
The player and his agent can also facilitate a way out for themselves, it's not all down to us.

If he's on as low a wage as just mentioned here, some 53k, it's a bit of a surprise that there haven't been any takers at all, which kind of suggests there may be other issues at play.

It's a strange one, that's for sure.

 

[EastUpperDK82]

He must have really upset someone at the club.

He has never even been that bad on the pitch, he would be a perfectly ok back up left back.

What if he doesn't want to be a back up anymore and wants to play regularly ? ... if I remember correctly he was already down the pecking order with previous managers.

So clearly he's not delivering what managers want at Spurs. Style or not. Different managers.

We've seen it before with other players we thought would become Spurs regulars.

Brentford are bottom end of the league too though, not good enough for Utd, not good enough for us, not good enough for Real Madrid. Only teams are the lower end ones and they wont pay his wages.

He was one literally one of their better defenders last season, they let him go because they thought he wouldn't get game time with their long term options back

I mean, he was good for Utd but their medical department thought Malacia and Shaw will be back in January so cancelled the loan - in hindsight he still would have been their 1st choice.
He was also good for Spurs and was better than Perisic who replaced him. Currently, he just doesn't fit inverted fullback role.
I don't understand this Madrid argument - good prospect, fantastic at Sevilla, they already had Mendy who was Zidane favourite and they were at the moment of selling players to fund Mbappe.

The only reliable link with Reguilon was about Lille who is good team currently playing in CL

Yeah I think this is it, he's just not the powerful, all action player for the system.
Might well be other issues, but we can only take that as speculation.

 

[kent brockman]

Not sure if his plan is moving to Turkey, do a Winston Bogarde, or just getting paid off.

 

[jurgen]

If we’re only going to play inverting full backs then he has no chance, I’d definitely rate Davies as technically sounder for that role.

Our fans really need to stop this revisionist bullshit. He did well at United

Look at their fans word rather than just disagreeing

Sergio Reguilón | 2023/24 Performances

I absolutely love this guy - didn't really rate as a player during his time with us but his passion was never an issue. As well, he's constantly spreading the United love on social media. We seem to have done well with acquiring sound Spanish dudes on our team (however underwhelming their...

Reguilon has never been shit for us, he's never been fit which has made him a liability and he struggled to find consistency

I mean it's there in black and white in that first quote 'didn't really rate him as a player', I don't think 'passionate' and 'good on social media' is enough for Ange. And even the other most positive posts only compliment his attacking play, every single one comes with a rider about his defensive weaknesses. Ange clearly sees Davies as a better option (and he definitely brings more defensive ability when we want a change from Udogie) and if he's happy to go with VDV and Spence (who can also play RB much better than Reg) as further cover, there's clearly no place for him in the squad, even if he's a model pro. I reckon you'd have more of a case if you want to argue he'd do better than Timo on the wing...

Throwaway line in The Times roundup from Gary Jacob, no surprises.

"Tottenham Hotspur have also been trying to sell Sergio Reguilón, the left back who has a year left on his deal, in Turkey."

Most of them comments are just about him being decent so I dont see much in those comments. I don't think people are saying he's shit. The only thing more annoying about being revisionist is people who suggest people are being it. He wasn't good enough, decent yes, showed effort and good attitude yes but not good enough for anyone at the top end. Not good enough for the wages he's on. If he was he wouldn't still be here simple as that.

 

[Locotoro]

I think he's good enough to be part of the squad but similarly to Lo Celso he's not great at following Ange's instructions and he doesn't suit our needs.

I've not read anything about a bad attitude but I'm interested to see what happens should the window close.and.he still be on our books

Just read through it, and it's totally changed my opinion. The lad has a good social media team and knows exactly how to grab the badge for a photo opportunity, definitely deserves an improved 5 year deal.

 

[Rocksuperstar]

It must be frustrating for him, he's not a wing back, he would fit well into a traditional 4-4-2 but teams just don't play like that anymore.

If he was more effective as one flank in a three, if he had a bit more pace or was a bit sharper to react getting forward then he'd be great to have in the squad but I just get the feeling that he needs to find a team that plays a more rigid formation or in a league where they play at a fractionally slower pace to really shine.

 

[TheHodFather]

As a few others have said, it'll be interesting to see what happens if he's still here after all the windows shut. I get that he's not an ideal fit and/or not quite the standard we need, and I'm not suggesting for a moment that we should be looking to keep him or offer him a new deal. But for better or worse he's here, we're paying his wages, and he plays in a position where we lack cover. So unless he's being a complete arse behind the scenes I don't really understand why we'd freeze him out completely.

Shocked mourinho isn't taking a punt at him. But if I was him and I had a choice to do f all for a year or go turkey I'd do f all then chance my luck with a Spanish club in 12 months

They’ve signed Kostic, so no chance they’ll try for Regi now
