Ex-Spurs Player Japhet Tanganga

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Don’t get me wrong , you can’t get everyone right but to let him go on a free was madness !
Was it madness??? He couldn't stay fit, didn't look amazing when he did play for us. Struggled to get a game at Augsburg and his contract was expiring. We could have renewed his contract and got 200 maybe 300k for him... thats it. Maybe he's found his level in the Championship and fair play to him. One of the promoted clubs might take a flyer on him next season. But don't kid yourself we could have sold him for millions.

Not saying we could have sold him for millions but he wouldn’t have been on much (for a pl player) surely it would have been a good idea to renew his contract and then get him a loan in the championship - then if he performs we can sell him , if not we are down a few years wages .
I fully understand these things are very easy with hindsight

I get your point but there was no body of work to make you think he was going to be like Joe Rodon for example. I hate the board with a passion and there are hundreds of things to point the finger at them about, but I don't think this is one of them.
