Yeah, agree. Disagree with anybody feeling Gil to Valencia is a pointless loan. Think if he's managed right and can add a bit of weight to his frame he can be a brilliant player. Sarr, I've seen a good bit of him this season and he looks years away to be honest.
It's no more a waste of time than Sancho or Bellingham spending their late teens/early 20s in Germany...... Much like it wouldn't have been a waste of time for KWP or Tanganga to have had a year or two in Europe at a similar age.
Is it a made-to-measure fast-track to the EPL starting XI that a domestic loan with perfect circumstances might have provided? No, but I can't see the point in buying (or bringing through the academy) promising v.young players if you're gonna casually starve them of good quality competition at a key age.
Phillips, Raphina, Bissouma, (charges permitted)Romanogli Spence,Devirj, Lamptey. Bolded as a priority all are gettable with a club genuinely committed to backing Conte.. If we are serious Paratici needs to get four of this in at once.

"Sky Sports, along with a number of outlets, have reported that Tottenham are one of several clubs to be interested in bringing in former Liverpool attacking midfielder Philippe Coutinho in on loan."
Spurs strike 'perfect' Philippe Coutinho plan as transfer rumours rated
football.london rates the latest Tottenham transfer rumours including Philippe Coutinho and Tariq Lamptey.
"However, reports from the Daily Mirror understand Tottenham were in the running for the Brazilian, until Conte stepped in to prevent such a move from happening."
Conte's 'block' on Tottenham signing Coutinho despite Barcelona offer
PHILIPPE COUTINHO recently sealed a loan move to Aston Villa from Barcelona.
www.express.co.uk
Even then:
"Tottenham Hotspur, also have an agreement with Barcelona that would allow them to sign Coutinho permanently for the same fee."
"Antonio Conte & co. will now opt to see how the midfielder fares on his return to England with Villa for the rest of the season before taking a call on a permanent move for him later this year."
Premier League giants reserve €40m purchase option for Barcelona midfielder
Barcelona were finally able to get Philippe Coutinho off their books, at least temporarily, after agreeing to loan the Brazilian out to Premier League outfit Aston Villa for the rest of the season. In his four years at the club, the 29-year-old never managed to live up to the billing, often...

Isn't the idea that Spurs can just cherry-pick the "best-of-the-rest" from the bottom-half PL clubs a bit... old-fashioned?
With the record-setting new TV deals and the new club ownership/group profile, it seems like poaching players from intra-league rivals is either b/c: a player pushes for a move, new club pays old club ++++++£££££££££, or BOTH.
This doesn't seem like a progressive approach.

He's had 2 good games, he came in and Villa's form nosedived many pundits (I don't watch them) saying Coutinho lack of pressing and tracking a big reason for this.
I'm still not convinced he will have a lasting impact
My instinct says he'll have a much longer career, so probably worth much more. Haaland 2-3 seasons max before ACL's or such set in.
Has their form nosedived? Seems like they are on a good roll to me...
Certainly think we could have used him, even only if it meant rest Son Vs Boro... those type of dynamics. Guess Conte didn't want him though.
Since he arrived: DLWLLDW
They will. Not to us though
20 silk cut purple should do it
If all he did was be a super sub for us that would be incredibly useful because we have nobody like that.
Against either Burnely or Middlesbrough how great would it have been to have a Countinho or Eriksen to come off the bench and change it up. Both those guys can do that. Bergwijn and Moura can't, they don't offer anything close to what the other two players do.
I think he could have a bigger role than that and ideally we would have a similar player that is better but he sure offers a lot more than nothing we currently have.
I was at Stade Bonal yesterday to watch FC Sochaux (one of France's most historic clubs) take on Guingamp (Drogba & Malouda's former team) in a Ligue 2 clash...5th vs 10th.
Pretty open game, chances aplenty, especially for Guingamp who should've been 2-nil up after 60 mins. Sochaux were lethargic but on came Alan Virginius...just the man my partners & I had come to watch.
And wow, he didn't disappoint. He changed the game, simple as that. Scored the winner, made several bursting runs that scared the Guingamp defense shitless, also fought hard defensively to help his team bag 3 big pts...
Not the first time I watch him live with the pros or the youth team, and he's always had something special.
Obviously not saying we should sign him in the summer cause he's miles away from being PL ready...only 19, very frail, plays as an impact sub (5 starts in 20), still gets too excited when attacking and loses possession too often/not always making the right choices...but defo one to keep an eye on. If Sochaux stay in League 2 next season, I fully expect him to become a regular starter and tear the division a new one.
Watch this space.

Diaz is a terror for Liverpool and hasn’t much more muscle than Gil. I watch almost all the Valencia games since Gil went there. He is closer than some appear to think on here.
Their price tags are close to £100M.
Besides, there are rumors (as we know, rumors aren't always true) that Bellingham's starting to show attitude "problems" at Bor. D.
When Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelski comes in for him Spurs have no chance. And t that's just how it is no matter how many points we make...
Jones is one 3 RWB I would strongly consider this summer....

Bullshit, we got Conte and London, plus Levy Enterprises.
We may not be tier 1, but we never were, with Poch at our Crescendo we were never at that table.
We are still tier 2 career move, for most every player on earth.
