Unrealistic expectations from us lot probably!!!
Sons broken arm was a year later in 2017 after a world cup qualifierI think Son had a broken arm (or another hand injury) which caused him to miss a few weeks after the Olympics. We were willing to let him go to the Olympics this year as well. I doubt we'd do that if Son was gonna miss the first month of the season due to that. Especially as he's already exempt from military services.
La Liga ended on 23rd May and the Olympics started on 23rd July. Gil must have had a decent break in those two months. I remember Kane went on a short holiday in between the end of the PL season and the start of Euros. So, players can obviously take a holiday before a tournament starts (especially one starting 2 months after the season ends).
even if not a starter, the effort to prepare for each game would be significant, also probably putting in more to attract the coaches attention?....
Been on the scrumpy?
Not a Devonian by birth, hate the stuff
GDS had absolutely no problem with technical ability, it was his application and work rate that was the problem sadly.Looking forward to seeing him play. I love these types of signings where you take a chance and could potentially strike gold.
It's why I never had an issue with signings like Dos Santos. It didn't work out but he was certainly worth a punt.
How on earth is the colour of someone's skin relevant to being a grumpy old man?Is that a joke? What is it with old white men wanting all males to have the same boring haircut all the time? The war is over we can move on now dude.
I like what i've seen of him. Proper Spurs player, bit of flair about him. He's very young and raw so need to be patient with him but he looks like a baller.
I just hope he's allowed the freedom to play and not made into a defensive wide player like we've done with others over the last few years.
Can't see him playing for a bit anyway tbh, look s skillful but raw and skinny as. Great prospect but it'll surely take him a while to get settled and capable in the prem.Blimey. That means he won’t be seen at Hotspur way until the start of September. Unlikely we’ll see him before the palace game (11/9). Then the next 2 are Chelsea and Scum. Will he be thrown into one of those for his debut?
