Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This guy oozes class, could very well have been man of the match.

they really tried to press him very high up the pitch and he never once panicked or gave it away that I can remember.

He’s got the potential to be one of the best in the world.

Worth every penny.
 
Sherwood's gone 2 for 2 then it seems
Tactics Tim and I in the bin after his start.

Ange has really got him knowing his exact role and I think he’s the perfect partner for Romero.

Tbf I always thought his profile was excellent, the size pace and calm on the ball, just wasn’t sure he was seasoned enough. Credit where it’s due though as I was miles off and Van de Ven is a diamond.
 
I was told that this young fella was an outrageous athlete and promising defender, but if I'm honest from what I've seen in his first appearances I think he's very well rounded already.

Wins headers, reads the game well, wins tackles, brings the ball out of defence, picks a pass. What a start to his Spurs career.

The difference with him and Romero back there together instead of Sanchez or Dier or Davies is crazy. It's like playing a different game.
 
He showed today that not only is he rapid and knows how to play with the ball at his feet, but that he's also very good at tackling and properly defending.


So far, it looks like we've found a gem. Long may his performances continue like this.
 
Just adds so much calm knowing he's never going to get done in a sprint. After years of Dier rolling out the red carpet for strikers it's a welcome change.

Great passing and accelerates to get out of danger when needed. And he's a unit.

How fucking good must Tapsoba be if the consensus was that he was the better option of the two? More shite from the TFC scouting network?

It’s why we need one more CB. Even if it’s Tosin cheap, high line we can play with Romero and VDV with Tosin and Sanchez as backups.
 
His best game yet. can't believe we had to carry that bum Dier for 3 fucking seasons instead of getting a proper CB.
 
Was worried he’d only played a year of senior football in a top division. Was scared he would be a project.


Now I think it’s scary that he’s only played a season in a top division but scary for how good he could be. Conte would never have signed off on a player like this.
