Or Hojbjerg goes to Athletico or Bayern
Yep, always a gamble taking a player from the Portuguese league. But these are the types of moves we absolutely need to execute with the new scouting and recruitment set up.
Yeah, we always back the wrong horse really. Clarke, Sess, Sanchez, N’Koudo, N’Jie, Jansen etc etc etc
The link is from the Sun, which… isn’t much better.
Modric, Bale, Berbatov, Dele, Son etc etc etc
This reeks of confirmation bias. I get what you are thinking, but every team has had failures in their transfer dealings; ours stick out because Tottenham is the team we follow. I don't follow Fulham enough to be able to reel off a list of their failures but I'm sure one of their fans would be able to.
I think Conte was a fraud, for a supposedly “elite” coach.
I keep saying it but I genuinely don't understand how Aggregators are banned but these sites keep getting their own threads day after day to regurgitate, twist and slap misleading headlines on other journalists articles.
Glad to see those stats - cheers. My Dad was born in Hammersmith so follows Fulham and he raves about him, thinks he's better and worth more than Declan Rice and much better than any midfielders we have, whereas i said i wouldn't want him at Spurs , having got the impression from watching a fair amount of their games that he's basically a tackling monster (with the yellow cards to go with it) but just average at everything else for a PL midfielder. I would also say that i'm not sure just how great he'd be anywhere else as he works very well with Harrison Reed in their system (Reed really good at covering for him when he's gone on one of his tackling forrays and leaves loads of space). Those stats tend to back up my impressions, although as my dad is pretty old i won't send them to him...unless he really annoys me.
As mentioned in my post above, my Fulham supporting Dad (and their fans in general) agree with you, but those stats don't back that view up in the slightest. Stats say he's a great, almost freakish tackler, but what else does he do ? I suppose you can argue 'what else does he need to do' but i wouldn't want him at Spurs, certainly not with the new managers style, i never feel he's that comfortable in possession tbh , not terrible but not super comfortable and able to resist pressure.
