Both really. I can’t think of too many players here that made a career after being initially mishandled. Seems as with bad breakups, players find it hard to forgive the club and approach their contract with the same prior enthusiasm.So, another Levy masterclass transfer? Thank fuck we have this football genius as Tottenham chairman…
Or was it Conte was being a cunt for not having played him?
Spence was full of enthusiasm on arrival but Conte broke his spirit within 6 months, as he did many other players (Gil, Bissouma).
It seems important to actually play the player some after arrival so they don’t just sit around stewing over simultaneously being not good enough to play and not getting the game time needed to improve.
Maybe Levy wasn’t the one to reject Spence, but he was dumb enough to hire Cunte.
