Look at the first couple of pages on this thread. People were literally having hissy fits about the fee and 5 year contract and that he was shit.There's a big difference in over-rated and not being particularly impressed by someone though. Sometimes you can only go on what you see. The few times I saw him for Juventus he looked bang average. Clearly he had some ability as you would simply never play for that sort of club if you didn't. But I don't think too many would have predicted he would make quite the impact that he has already.
Yeh , there’s a few on here with egg on their facesLook at the first couple of pages on this thread. People were literally having hissy fits about the fee and 5 year contract and that he was shit.
He was magnificent for Parma, but struggled at Juve. Which is not unusual for young players making the next step up.
I would love it if fans could hold off judging a player until they have seen them play for spurs first. Paratici knows a lot more about players than anyone on this forum..
He's so fu***ng overrated, what the hell is going on here..
Paratici is a "man of the field", he knows how to recognize talent. The important thing is not to give him freedom of decision on money.Look at the first couple of pages on this thread. People were literally having hissy fits about the fee and 5 year contract and that he was shit.

Biggest stand out is how Kane trusts him…. Never thinks twice to ping it to Kulu, doesn’t go near baldie Lucas and is fairly conservative with giving Son the ballI think we have players quicker, stronger, more skilful etc but Kulusevski although not deficient in any of them it’s his brain that sets him apart, proper footballer, maybe only Kane in attack as clever.
Everything doesn't revolve around Kane you know. Everyone trusts Kulu, and you are wrong to say that Kane doesn't pass to Lucas or Son.Biggest stand out is how Kane trusts him…. Never thinks twice to ping it to Kulu, doesn’t go near baldie Lucas and is fairly conservative with giving Son the ball

Had serious, serious doubts; but the kid just bowled in like a badboy, swinging his big ginger-pubed dick around like a madman.Said it already, but I can't remember the last time a signing instantly had such a positive impact on the team.
He should have been miffed. Son should definitely have played him in.I think Kane was a tad miffed that Son did not pass yo him when he should have done in the first half.
No issues there though.

At Juventus he was very good at picking up talents but he made mistakes like Ramsey's super contract
Jesus hasn't scored a competitive goal yet.If Kulu develops a decent right foot, there's no reason why he can't be one of the best RW in the world. Everything else about his game is very sold to excellent.
As for Richarlison, we spent 60 million on him so he's coming in with high expectations. Just watched Haaland the other day and he just looked like a man among children out there. Bigger, faster, stronger, and more ferocious. Their transfer fees were about the same. And Nunez and Jesus are already off to the races bagging goals.
He was never very good with crosses.Jesus hasn't scored a competitive goal yet.
