This can go in the dossier that'll be written about how we spent £1bn on a stadium and fuck all of use on the squad.The fact that we weren’t willing to pay top dollar for a new goalkeeper that summer is a scandal in itself. We were trying to replace Lloris - a club legend, captain, a mainstay in the side for the previous decade.
A serious club would have gone out and got their first choice target to replace such a major player in the squad. But Spurs? Oh no no.
As with seemingly every fucking decision made at this club, we gave “Don” Fabio a shout, who said “I know a guy.”
And that guy was Vicario. Was he any good? Not really. Did he suit the way Ange wanted to play? Couldn’t have been further from it. But, was he cheap? YES.
United are a moot point in the conversation as well. They went for Onana, who was their first choice target and cost more than Raya.
