Player João Palhinha

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Hope Palinha proves an asset worth having.

I don't care if it's a loan move or a club record transfer fee, as long as the player makes a positive impact.

Some posters won't ever be pleased, simply preferring to snipe and moan or to find solace in the virtual deed poll lobby.
 
Genuinely had no clue who this guy was until a week ago. But now I'm well chuffed we've got some steel in midfield. One or two more signings and I might even be hopeful for another cup this season!
 
West Ham or Brentford level signing.

May as well be honest with ourselves and call it what it is.🤷‍♂️... Hugely uninspiring.

Nobody would have been surprised or batted an eyelid if he'd signed for either of them.

Exploiting an opportunity lingering in the left overs from the Kane / Bayern deal rather than aggressively signing the kind of quality we could and should be chasing.

Let's just hope he exceeds expectations.
12 months ago it was a Bayern level signing.

Have a day off
 
Reminds me of the time we bought Terry Yorath who had a similar reputation. He really made a big difference and we conceded much less with him in the team. Concerned that he may get suspended but Romero has learned to avoid that and hopefully he can to playing for a better team than Fulham. Glad it is a loan and we really must only buy him if he makes a good impression as the 2nd season loan of Werner was ridiculous.
Now go out and spend the £60m on a creative player.

This. Parker was class too and v effective for us conceding less
 
Any old bastards like me remember when we bought Terry Yorath many moons ago - tightened us up defensively and freed up the talent around him to do the creative stuff. I see similarities with this fellow - but I share the worry that hes a bit of a walking card.
