Player Mathys Tel

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The best thing that could happen to Tel is we lose to Southampton today, sack Ange and get an experienced caretaker in to have a proper look at him and report back to what's this guy's level and potential actually is. Impossible to know otherwise but it sure don't look like the price pre-agreed.
 
Nonsense statement.

He's better than any option we currently have for that left wing so would have helped. Although Ange could probably make anyone look shit.
Eze at his best is but he has had a streaky season. He was poor and injured up until Christmas … although he’s been better since.

I don’t think he would have made a difference in this dysfunctional team.
 
Personally, I would go all out for Eze in the summer, and have him coming in from the left.

I think that is the best possible signing we could make

In fact, I have no idea why we wouldn't do this deal considering we've been trying to sign him for years.
Answer is simple - Levy doesn’t want to pay the wages Eze will demand.

Solanke and Johnson transfer fees may have been high but they make less than Eze right now at Palace.

Eze - 100k / week
Solanke - 90K / week
BJ - 70K / week

Eze is going to want a hefty raise to move to N17 - which Levy won’t pay.
 
The guy practically had to dragged kicking and screaming into our dumpster fire of a club

I'm sure the last few months have done little to convince him that this is where he needs to be and on the flip side he's shown nothing to suggest we should want him anywhere near our doorway come the summer
 
Still walks in our team all said and done.

Not when he's injured and/or out of form he doesn't.

Look.......... Everything that's been said here was said about Maddison for the 2 years before we signed him (albeit with Madz having much better numbers); yet opinion has been hot and cold about him ever since he arrived.

(Also reminds me of how Spurs fans year after year mythisized Isco...... Each year being declared more of a must have; all the while the player continued to tread water and not elevate himself.)

......If one can't be objective when assessing a player; then ultimately how credible is that assessment?

......All the more so when most people still gaslight themselves into claiming he's a winger(*).

That's 2 seasons out of 5 where he's put up numbers that are worthy of the kind of fuss people make of him.
