Depends though. Who moved for Bale and got the deal done. Levy or Jose ( or both )
we already had two Right AM at the club. Plus they had got Doherty to play the WB role on the right side, in fact that was a “priority” signing for Jose.
if you do that, why are you buying Bale and Regulion? For me the Bale deal, with all its complications and it’s failures is more likely to be Levy than anyone else.
The cunt picking the team is selecting Lucas Moura ahead of him. Can’t blame Levy for that.... anyone else would get Balenin tandem with Kane in the final third rather playing right wing back
Pretty much everyone applauded the Bale re-signing.
I get wanting to blame Levy for things and og course he has made mistakes but come on.
If anythung it has shown you must buy hunger.
Can think of quite a few people who acknowledge how great he had been but were very meh about his return. Myself MrsPerryman there were others.
So was I but that is different from blaming Levy for bringing the bloke back.
Crazy he hasn’t been played more when we’ve needed that magic on the pitch. Obviously Mourinho didn’t want him and that’s the point he’s been making by not playing him.
Not based on Bale’s performances.
Not really.
Did you look at him last season and think "there's a guy looking to bust a gut on the pitch"?
Besides, for 2 years previous him and his agent basically scoffed at him playing for Spurs, up until it became his only option to get fit for the Euros. Then guess what, he rediscovered his fondness for Spurs
Mate, okay but I think this is a nonsense argument.
The majority of Spurs fans and pundits, not that I give them much credit thought it a good move for both parties.
Not many would have predicted such a minimal impact in my opinion.
Well I was glad to see Bale back , but actually if you look how Mourhino treated peak Hazand at Chelsea for not tracking back, it is pretty clear Jose and Bale would not work.
Jose cannot or will not adapt to accommodate Bale, Levy takes a fortune out of the club so actually yes he did fuck up in not realising it would never work.
Utterly ridiculous.
What that a guy who gets paid 6 million a year, owns over twenty percent of the club should know the manager he has employed demands all his players defend for 90 mins. I agree utterly ridiculous that he let Jose convince him he had a new philosophy
We went for a player that hadn't played almost a whole season, costs a fortune and is a shadow of the player he was.
Bale was a DL project you twit.
Was starting to play well before Jose shut the bed vs Woolwich
Lucas Moura does things like track runners and doesn't fuck about with his hair as much.
Gareth couldn't be arsed, one foot on the golf course.
Yep and to top it off, he brings on the goal machine Sissoko instead when we are drawing. He’s a fucking gutless negative coward. So shit scared of surrendering leads or draws, he doesn’t utilise the obvious attacking talent we have on the bench. Mourinho out
Agree with this and it just gives the opposition confidence because they smell fear.
Notwithstanding all that Bale has been disappointing and not the force for good we had hoped.
Maybe too much about square pegs
Whatever Timmy Tabloid. Moura is consistently jumble, hes not even be played in his best position
Give me class and potential over some thicko who can track runners
