Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Spence is a cheap youngster, that he needs more development is not news. The man has never started a single PL match in his life.

The signings we should worry about are the ones that cost £40m+ and currently sit on our subs bench doing nothing.

Which is only ever justified if the incumbents are firing.

It's what made Ferguson so grear and the first incarnation of Mourinho.

Next to no.player could have more than 3 poor games without being put to the bench if options existed..
 
Spence has not exactly covered himself in glory after he joined Rennes (and neither has Rodon for that sake). He is fairly young and will be prone to errors so I am not writing him off yet but too many Spurs don't understand that a few flashy youtube clips don't warrant him to start Spurs games. Conte knew what he was doing when he refused to play Spence

French media hammer Tottenham player Spence on Thursday night

“The English right-back was catastrophic. At fault on the first goal, he left his lane abandoned on the action leading to the second Ukrainian goal. Offensively, he did nothing,” Maxi Foot report on Thursday night, as Rennes lost 2-1.
 
Fuck me we don't half love ripping our own to shreds on here do we? He's a raw youngster who had the balls to take a chance to develop himself overseas. Precious few British players do this.

He's young, barely played any football all season. But yeah, let's write him off instantly like almost everyone did with Bale. Great.
 
Why did the club buy someone that is not better than Emerson or Doc?

Not all signings are made to immediately improve the first team. Spence was bought because he was a decent home grown talent in a position where the squad was weak. He was a "project" signing, Conte has openly said this.

Unfortunately he wasn't yet ready for the PL so he's out on loan. Completely normal situation for a player of his profile.
