yea give it a year at this rate and madrid are going to come calling. i think his pace is fine. it sort of suits his technique. he was at juventus, thats a pretty high profile club lol...not many bigger than themGotta hope that we can keep him which might not be easy if he continues like this. Watched the game yesterday with my friend who worked for Spurs. We both thought the same. I honestly think if he was a yard quicker — not that he’s slow — he’d be at a higher profile club already.
"His movement isnt good enough, will never cut it in the prem"- someone who cant even move up the stairs without catching his breath.
Indeed it did. It still helps if the Defender thinks he will cut in but he has definitely worked on going outside this season. Of course the slight ambiguity over it gives him more space to cut inside and get a shot away.I noticed in the Leeds game that he's been cutting in a lot less and just driving into the box with his right foot. Clearly something he's been working on.
Last season his cut inside routine sometimes limited his output.
The one really positive aspect of this season is the progressive improvement of several Paratici signings. Obviously Royal has been an underwhelming signing but Romero, Kulusevski, Perisic and Bentancur are all of the pedigree Spurs need and along with Son and Kane can be relied upon. Richarlison and Bissouma could eventually reach the same levels based on what we have seen in patches too.
It gives me hope and I believe Paratici has done as much as he could have done with the resources used obtaining these players. He deserves to be given the opportunity to add a few more in January.
Said it before.....I love this lad, a proper footballer, not a trickster or a speed merchant running down dead ends, but a real proper footballer
in deep shitDoesn't bear thinking where Spurs would be right now without him and his Juve pal!
Said it before and will say it again- we'd be winning the league right now if we had Trippier instead of Emerson.Trippier would be feasting in this Spurs side. His crossing was so good.
God I miss having a reasonbly competent FB.
Trips last season at spurs was a disaster. If he was kept around after that it would have been the equivalent of Conte starting Royal after the World Cup…Said it before and will say it again- we'd be winning the league right now if we had Trippier instead of Emerson.
I disagree. I remember that time- not all of us thought Trippier was playing poorly. IMO he got targeted for size a few times and was wrongly slagged off for it. That's just part of the game- sometimes you are a smaller, more mobile fullback facing a very tall/strong winger, and need help from your teammates. I wish we'd have kept him then.Trips last season at spurs was a disaster. If he was kept around after that it would have been the equivalent of Conte starting Royal after the World Cup…
