He’s going to fit right in!

Stop being so negative you have never seen him play
If you knew Souza
Like Lange knows Souza
Oh oh oh what a left back
I am seeing quite a few people who have watched his performances the last couple of days say he looks utter shit.
Like really really poor.
Then you have Tim Vickery saying he's highly rated. But Vickery has been wrong plenty of times.
In any case it's a fucking pisstake. We desperately needed to upgrade on LB and instead we've signed a 19 year old punt from Brazil who at best won't contribute properly for 2 or 3 seasons. Meanwhile we have Udogie permanently crocked, and Ben Davies? I mean wtf are we doing here?
Lange is a cretin.
The club take the fucking piss.
Spot on.
Makes me sick how we always go down the foreign route when there's gotta be tens of equally/more talented English prospects.
We are getting souza... Guirassy is a striker, Akliouche is a winger... So at LB we have, souza, Spence, VDV can play there and Davies.... ST.... Guirassy, Muani, Scarlett...
I think it's more alarming that you said replace none of the strikers when I'd mentioned Guirassy... Who's been prolific in Bundesliga for last 3 seasons.
If we buy Souza, a teenager, it will be another £xxm wasted that could have gone towards a bigger player. I had to Google him. He's inury-prone, so I guess that's why we want him, and being young and Brazilian, just what we need for the cold winter months.
Does this club seriously just go out to get anyone that will come here, when I haven't even seen half the other young players we bought, play yet.
What a marquee signing.

Not another Sess, I hope.
Dude, he’s putting up outdated information with no context.
Do you think that village idiot can define profitable or valuable or has any idea what these numbers represent?
He’s just a shit-slinging monkey hammering keys on a keyboard and hoping to write ‘’HAMLET’.
He can’t control a football so yes, I would be delighted
"I knew there was something I forgot to ask...duh! Oh well, it'll all be fine, always works out."He’s going to fit right in!

Who is new Tottenham full-back Souza? Completes January move from Santos
Going from the blazing hot beaches of Santos in Southern Brazil to the freezing cold of North London is likely to be some culture shock, but they may just be the case for Santos full-back Souza. Brazi [...]
Praise the Lord. A complete cretin has disappeared from my life how will I cope. Now Everyone saw this don't ever recant. Blocked forever you made a public promise!!!
Santos have been shite last season and avoided relegations in the last round of Brasileirão. All the time I've watched them they looked worse than us and I couldn't even notice this Souza fella playing. It seems like another Lange masterclass.
I’ve thought players were shite before and they turned out good. Hope it’s the same w him
"I don't see him ready for European football. He's not even established in Brazil yet. This has been a big problem for many young players in Brazil. They leave the country very young and without establishing themselves at their formative club. Souza is a player who doesn't arrive in Europe fully formed, but he is a player with a lot of potential to develop."Who is new Tottenham full-back Souza? Completes January move from Santos

This is the problem. We can't wait for him to develop, because as soon as he proves he is actually good enough, clubs like Chelsea and City or Bayern will want him.
So we take punts on these players, and there's a 75% chance he turns out to be a duffer.
Is that injury history legit mate?"I knew there was something I forgot to ask...duh! Oh well, it'll all be fine, always works out."
....Oh dearYikes.
Looks like it.Is that injury history legit mate?
Yikes.
Weird...our decision-makers are usually so on top of all things due diligence.
