Alli only has himself to blame. He lost focus, lost that fight he used to have when he played on the edge and his career nosedived. Kulusevski came back from injury into a pretty poor team and was clearly lacking confidence, something that's vital for just about every player in football. I'm far from his biggest fan but to write him off in a season where Son often looked like a Championship level player would be mental.

Meh, will it be? I said at 25m he's worth a go. I don't not like Kulusevski, I'm just not seeing this mega talent you and others see. He's good technically but immobile and struggles when pressed. In space he makes good choices and he's got a good delivery on him.
Good luck to the lad. He was great at Parma, shit at Juve, great for a few months under Conte, then shit again for a season. He's had a very up & down career. IMO that's because he's a system player very reliant on external factors in order to impress.
Hence why we'll end up grabbing him for around 25m btw. Players at the level you lot go on about him being with this level of exposure at the top level categorically do not go for this amount. That's Dominic Solanke money.
"But, but, but, but...that situation was different when apologists said the same thing"...and "Reasons"...and, lastly, "whatabout other players". Got it!
What qualities in/of Kulu's game makes you think he will have a 'bounce-back' season were we to complete his xfer?
Oh, Deuterz! It's like I'm saying it myself!!!!
Great gif choice.
There wasn't much ad hominem really but you've the right to make a mountain out of a molehill if you like.
For me Kulu has sublime vision and excellent technique. He has great size and strength. He is a great passer of the ball, and excels in tight spaces, and when in a packed box. He has all the qualities to make a fantastic 10 imo, and is absolutely fine as a playmaking wide forward.
For me he lost spirit as much as form this past season, constantly being dropped for inferior performing players who run around like headless chickens (Son/Richy/others). He needs a coach who gives him a fair shot, and need not be subordinated to the bullshit Masons Mates hierarchy.
Conte fucking sucked and killed players spirits. Kulu was one who suffered most.
I'd write more but I need to go pick up my lil dime piece and take her home for dinner. Adios.
Either it was there or it wasn't...and if it was there in some measure then that's enough to satisfy the condition. No one's making a meal of anything...you've just opted to attack me instead of my position. Most folks suggest that it is done when a person's reasoning is weak. I wouldn't know.
Utilizing "sublime" and "excellent" is over-egging the pudding here. But even taking your point these are things that he cannot do under pressure which is why this season has been such a nightmare for him...he is only effective in space provided for him.
???? He gets shoved off the ball with ease and has resorted to diving SINCE he's come here.
Were we watching the same player? The bolded are things that he absolutely does not do.
I guess you'd have to define what you think those qualities are before I could comment. But I'd mention that 10s work in high rent areas and he wouldn't get much time to control and deliver...and he's had some issues releasing the ball in a timely fashion...especially when under pressure.
The kid was playing for a move to the PL instead of Juve's bench where he was seriously unwanted. If his mentals can be dashed under those conditions then do we really want another weak-minded player on our squad...another goldilocks player that performs when the conditions are right?
Who said that?
bla bla bla
Which is of similar value to your previous input...which brings me back to my point: "so if you don't know..., perhaps you shouldn't be having this conversation."
Also for some reason not played for an out of position richie
I had no clue he was so proficient in so many different positions
In his chosen position, played throughout his career he’s reasonable
But maybe someone should tell him he’s quite obviously a brilliant 10 or 8

not sure where they got 7 and 15 from.
He def didn't get that last season.
That's maybe his overall stats for Spurs?

If we decline and he ends up there he'll become a world beater.... That much is inevitable.
I saw this movie on pirate VHS back in the mid 80s.

I assume they meant overall.... In 18 monhs.
Yeah think so.
so, 22 goal involvements in 48 games, at 23, ... under a very defensively minded coach..
But he's apparently shit and slow.
