We still haven’t recovered from losing him, there is not one midfielder on our books who can dominate an opposing midfield and run the game the way he did.
Like Poch famously said, “without Dembele Tottenham do not exist”. Until we find a successor we are never really going to be able to make that next step. Every winning team needs a midfielder that opponents are afraid of.
I was at WHL when he made his debut and scored against Norwich.
I've said it before but I will never forget that incredible performance away to Juve in the CL. The very definition of taking a game by the scruff of the neck.
First saw the big man when he played for Fulham and single-handedly wrecked United in a cup game. As I recall, he came late in the transfer window when we were starting Sandro and Livermore, and had dropped enough points to eventually cost us CL football —another genius move by Mr L.
Was that the same year the copier failed on the Moutinho transfer? Well done, Mr L.
Took me a while to warm to the big man but I came to appreciate his unique skills. I honestly believe there were a couple of years when he was in the top five box-to-box midfielders in Europe. Only Bale’s leaving the club has affected me more in the last decade.
hopefully, they will all come back for Hugo's testimonial...............................he better get one!!!Sorry, you won't hear me complaining about a trf window that comprised Hugo, Vert AND Dembele.
Nope... Different window.
It really does suck not getting to a proper goodbye to some players doesn't it..... Ditto: Vert & Dawson.
Is he close to ten years now?hopefully, they will all come back for Hugo's testimonial...............................he better get one!!!
think this is his 10th year, I suppose I should google it, but can't be ar...... bothered.Is he close to ten years now?

Don't know, but if that's the case, bloody disgrace!!! Still, it doesn't seem to have bothered him, as he is really enjoying being an ambassador at the Club.That was the real sickener about Daws... Wasn't he like 6 months short....?

nah tbh pundits did appreciate Dembele.One of the most unsung PL players ever!!
(I know we appreciated him) but you look at the types of central midfielder Sky used to drool over (James Milner, Jack Wilshire, Mark Noble to name a few) they're not fit to lace the Moose's antlers!!
