He'll just default to Van de Ven no doubt. No fucking chance he gives it to Gallagher as a relative new boy who has been arguably our worst player since joining. Very bad take from the journo imo.Is Gallagher the captain Spurs need?
Roberto De Zerbi takes charge of his first home match with it already feeling like a must-win fixture for the Italian against his former club. Sitting in the relegation zone, Spurs’ three remaining matches at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will be vital in the battle for survival. They travel to Wolves next weekend, desperately hoping to carry some momentum with them. With Cristian Romero absent through injury and set for a spell on the sidelines, De Zerbi will be without one of his most important players and will need to decide where the armband goes as the vice-captain, James Maddison, is out too. De Zerbi needs someone with strong leadership skills who can set an example for teammates. Conor Gallagher is yet to settle in north London but he occasionally
captained Chelsea and brings with him great experience from his time with Atlético Madrid and England. As a central midfielder, he could set the tone and it may bring him a much-needed confidence boost. WU
Premier League: 10 things to look out for this weekend
A seismic clash between City and Woolwich, Tottenham need leadership, and could Eddie Howe recall Yoane Wissa?
The point is not he's the worst player going, or even the worst in the squad. It's that in the context of our season and what we needed at the time, he was the worst possible fit. He's managed to make the worst side in the league worse, or certainly not any better
A captain needs to be inspiring...which Gallagher is not!
He's pretty fucking shit to be fair James Maw
He's a big contributing factor, yes."This is our worst signing we've ever made."
So Connor Gallagher is exclusively to blame for Spurs conceding an average of two goals a game?
It's a very large sample size. And he was brought in to save our season, and statistically, he's having the complete opposite effect. Is he solely to blame, obviously not, but we lost directly because of him at the weekend.
Which is a fair argument, if that's how he put it but I was just going off what you wrote, saying that he's the worst signing in history, which is just silly.
