Spurs did not qualify for the CL last season (in retrospect that may have been a good things as Spurs won a trophy due to it) because ending 5th the season in the EPL before that was not enough in the EPL to get 5 teams in the CL, because Seri A, La Liga and Bundesliga had out-performed EPL clubs in Europe and thus qualified to have 5 teams in the CL (while EPL was allowed 4)Really?
In the last 8 CL finals, the EPL has had 7 teams feature, with 2 of those finals featuring all EPL clubs. In that time, BM have been there once.
Ah yes, I misread your post tbh. I thought you were talking about BM in particular. My bad.Spurs did not qualify for the CL last season (in retrospect that may have been a good things as Spurs won a trophy due to it) because ending 5th the season in the EPL before that was not enough in the EPL to get 5 teams in the CL, because Seri A, La Liga and Bundesliga had out-performed EPL clubs in Europe and thus qualified to have 5 teams in the CL (while EPL was allowed 4)
England have finished top of those rankings 6 times in the last 10 years, Spain 3 times and Italy once, Germany 0 times. In that period, English teams have won 8 European titles and Germany have won 2. It's clearly a weaker league, not sure why you're even arguing this.Spurs did not qualify for the CL last season (in retrospect that may have been a good things as Spurs won a trophy due to it) because ending 5th the season in the EPL before that was not enough in the EPL to get 5 teams in the CL, because Seri A, La Liga and Bundesliga had out-performed EPL clubs in Europe and thus qualified to have 5 teams in the CL (while EPL was allowed 4)

Take a bow at greatness. It's a shame for him that he's English and not Spanish or Argentine. He would get twice the praise he generally does.
Imagine the wankfest if Rodri, a natural ball playing midfielder, did that at 0:30.

He had to make way and give up his CF position for the world class Nicolas Jackson.Very impressive. Playing much deeper for them than he did for us, judging by this.
Lots of talk about him playing on for another several years. I think he may have to limit the “leave it to me lads” all over the pitch attitude if he’s to do that.
If you had read my initial post on this you would have seen that I was not arguing about the Bundesliga is a weaker league (the EPL is the stronger league)...it was arguing about the Bundesliga being a "much easier league" - which is not the case.England have finished top of those rankings 6 times in the last 10 years, Spain 3 times and Italy once, Germany 0 times. In that period, English teams have won 8 European titles and Germany have won 2. It's clearly a weaker league, not sure why you're even arguing this.
TBH he wasn't this player with us. I think he's improved massively by not thinking of himself as the main man, and adapting to being a part of the team instead of the one-man team.
Similar to Bale
Sometimes I really do wonder how many people here actually watch our games.He absolutely was this player with us, the season he won top scorer and top assister under Jose showed how good his all round game was.

I actually think (thanks for the patronising) that you've clearly not been watching him at Bayern.
Everyone can see he has moved up a level
Do you have family/kids?Honestly. Why would he come back? He’s the king of his adopted country. The superstar of a club much bigger than us. Would be madness for him to come to Tottenham any time soon. Bayern then somewhere like LA would surely be better for his family and lifestyle.
