Looks more like Gary Neville.
franck ribery as a beatle
Thank god you are not running the club. We are in the position we are because we’ve tried your strategy the past 3 years.I'm not doubting his talent.
Paratici is great at finding wonderkids. Unfortunately wonderkids require time to develop into great players in the EPL. It is the debateably the toughest League in the world. Few 20 year olds step in and make an immediate impact. Look at Bergwjin, De Bruine, Lo Celso, Ndombele, etc. It takes time to develop into a great EPL player. Time is a luxury Spurs cannot afford. The team, especially the defense, is on Life Support. It's deteriorated in the past few years. Players from the team, like Kane, have mentioned that the team lacks players who want to lead. Is buying a 20 year old the most immediate need?
It is clear we need a few more above average experienced players in certain key positions. If we were a team that has money to spend, I'd say, "We waiting for bargains at the end of the window". But we don't have money according Levy. What sense is there in getting Gil now? 'Now' being the operative word.

The drummer from REM is a close match

Five of Fabio Paratici's smartest ever signings ahead of Tottenham move - Planet Football
Despite calling off their move to appoint Antonio Conte as manager, Tottenham are still expected to confirm Fabio Paratici as their new sporting director.www.planetfootball.com
I think Pogba, Vidal and Dybala makes for a reasonably good CV.
Dybala was already famous with Palermo and ZampariniPogba was well known though he didn’t find him.
Vidal was 24 with over 100 games for Leverkusen so not exactly a wunderkid.
So maybe Dybala?
bus-conductor what's your thoughts? Giggs likeness is striking? will there be such spaces in the prem for him to shuffle through?
