Player Alejo Veliz

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

All good news but Espanyol were playing 6th tier San Tirso in Spanish version of FA Cup (just as Spurs played non league Marine FC under Mourhino), so Veliz will have got a confidence boost, but it doesn't say too much about how he's coping with top tier Spanish football.

I am going to make a wild guess here but I doubt they make many chances so not a great fit for the lad but I am not that bothered I prefer Lankshear
It’s just wild that we spent 10-12m (20m?) on a kid that does absolutely nothing for us. Never should have spent on him in a million years-he never had a real path to first team football with us. Totally bizarre “club” signing.
 
How anyone can think they’ve seen enough of Veliz to make a full judgement on him is nonsense.

He’s 20, and has barely played for us. Crap loan last year due to their manager throwing his toys about. He’s in the same bracket as Lankshear, Moore, Scarlett, Donley for me, a young lad who needs to get football under his belt and could work his way into the team soon.

Appreciate Moore is even younger of course, but I just dont believe anyone has seen anything like enough of Veliz in his handful of minutes for us to write him off already.
Nor will we ever, he follows several French useless forwards

Espanyol are atrocious, can’t defend and create the square root of f’all offensively. They’ve had games where they’ve lost 1 nil and not even bothered throwing Veliz on.

What’s concerning however, the only game Veliz performed well in was when he scored 3 against some minnows in the cup. Then against a pub team in the next round which Espanyol lost, Veliz was anonymous. At this moment in time he looks like €15m down the drain, never to be recovered.
