Player Ben Davies

Greaves357_bestever · 23 Jul 2014

There is no realistic chance that Davies will become another Bale. Bale is a phenomenon, a force of nature, a player with incredible talents and abilities. He was one of the greatest players ever to don a Spurs jersey, right up there with Cliff Jones.

If Davies becomes a Corluka+ player, that'll do me nicely.

We've signed a left back at last, after years of screaming out for one.

I can't even remember the last Tottenham manager to sign a left back.

A left back who can defend will be a novelty.

When was the last one?

My only concern is that If he's so good at football , why did they name a tennis tournament after him?

He's also not the only Ben Davies playing football.

I think it's more to do with the fact that Vertonghen won't have to play left back

he hardly did last season anyway, or was Naughton at left back some fucked up dream (nightmare) I've been having? PLEASE TELL ME MY BRAIN MADE THAT UP!>!?!?!?±

Bale had great talent but he was so dedicated to self improvement he just seems to get better and better. Bale was not as good as Barkley or sterling at their age but then again Rooney was better than bale at age 20 so development is an unpredictable business.

My gut feeling is that Barkley will be better than Rooney or Gerrard, he has a class about him i haven't seen since gazza but he is still 2-3 years away from consistent performances. Shaw and stones will be probably the best two young players in the prem next year but we have no chance with either of them

Alex Watson time to change the name of this thread.

It certainly feels that way. It's been our weak link for so many years now

Ziege was and did it for years at top clubs, then he came here and got John Scales Disease, sadly - only class LB we've had for years. Hopefully Davies will grow into a top player as MoPo likes his young chaps (ooer)

We're cursed mate, we have ruined so many good players over the years....it's ridiculous

I always thought that our left backs after Atouba were good; Lee, Edman, Ekotto, but they were all better going forward than anything else.

oops, forgot about Ziege, who was very good, but more injury prone than sicknote.

I fear my soft spot for Ekotto's off pitch craziness has rose-tinted his performances, I was never uncomfortable with him there.
