Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Never miss a chance to get your agenda in eh?

Could’ve just been happy for the player that he’s getting his chance to show who he is.

You have no idea why he had or hadn’t started in the PL earlier. Just let it go and enjoy the rise of Djed Spence.

FWIW, he has to be in with a shout of an England call up soon.
With all due respect you popping in to chide people about having an agenda is every bit as much of an agenda as what you claim to be policing. And you do it fucking constantly.

Do you think maybe YOU should stop feeling the need to reply to everything anyone says that you don’t like on here? What exactly is so great about your apologist position that we need to hear it every single thread?
 
He "lost"? How do we know that? He got plenty of chances both with us and other clubs, and it was also said he got the wrong attitude back then.

Let's just be happy he turned ut around, and is the player he is now?
Ange said it would be a major turnaround for Djed to play regularly. He was totally wrong about that.

Ange is a tit who we are permitting to learn on the job. It would be a major turnaround for him to win regularly.
 
This guy can defend, that much is certain. It is even more crucial for a team whose RB is Porro. Add to that his ability to cover ground and his technique, and you get the whole package. There's no major weakness of him waiting to be unearthed that had been keeping him away for so long.

Managers love their status quo, some more than others. They assume that change has an inherently destabilizing effect, so when they contemplate making one they also take this into account. If Ange in particular thought that Spence was not THAT much better than Udogie, then he probably saw no issue with continuing to pick the latter despite the former having a good case as well.

Looks like a gross misjudgment in retrospect, but what I'm saying is that it doesn't have to be a case of Spence being a headcase or Ange having a personal agenda against him. You know, Hanlon's Razor and all that.

Ange very complimentary of Djed in post match interview and said he’s worked hard to get in the team.

Sounds like there were question marks over work ethic (which was suspected) and he’s worked hard to get past that.

Kudos! 💪
