I loved him when he played for us, when I saw his attempt to make the life of a dying child in anyway better , then support him and his parents to the very end...Well I loved the man he is. People like Jermain Defoe and Gary Mabbutt will always be part of our club.So I hear in TS that both Jermaine Defoe and Yaya Toure have been taken on by Spurs as coaches. I believe for our youth squad(s).
I know very little about Toure, beyond his playing days with City, but I'm thinking that Defoe will make a good coach. He's always been a model professional who has come across as very knowledgeable about the dynamics of the game. He also seems to be one that has a lot of time for kids, so I could see him being a success at lower level whilst he gets his senior badges.
Welcome back Jermaine, and welcome to a proper club Yaya.
Didn't Yaya Toure boycott training sessions because City didn't arrange for him to get a cake on his birthday? mind you he was on 200K+/week
I'd rather someone of Defoe's quality is teaching our youngsters... rather than talking about the first team on MOTD...I was hoping he was going to make a living as a TV Pundit. We need more Ex Spurs on TV and he spoke well.
Definitely looks offside in that picture.
I'm sure YaYa has plenty to teach Pape Sarr too.Just occurred to me, we have Toure in the coaching team and Bisouma in the first team.
I know Toure is involved more with the youth, but imagine him giving Bissouma tips
I'm sure YaYa has plenty to teach Pape Sarr too.
