Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


Djed Spence, 6 – The Tottenham Hotspur loanee was unstoppable down the right – an all-action performance that saw him win the majority of his defensive duels, as well as offering a constant outlet for his team’s counter-attacks. A technically proficient performance that saw him come close to getting on the scoresheet, replaced in the last ten minutes by club captain Hamari Traoré.

Ranked 2nd= highest of the Rennes players along with a few others

Note he's keeping the club captain out of the side who has just returned after injury.

I watched him and its fucking obvious he has bags of talent he is an attacking fullback in a side with an attacking coach who works with not against his squad he can become an international footballer. Spurs are a deeply weird club bit Conte simply would not help this player.
 
Spence & Porro next season and flog Emerson now he's had a few good games and might have a bit of value.

Spence/Porro and Udogie/Perisic are some solid LB options. If a 4atb manager comes in then keep Perisic around as a utility forward and sign a LB I guess ... sell Sessegnon for whatever the hell we can get.
 
Crazy athleticism. Made some exceptional stops. The pullback and run forward towards the end was really great. Even played a nice through ball into the box at the front of the vid.

Got to be honest, Porro simply doesn't have the same athletic potential as Spence. There's a good chance Porro was a needless waste of money, and that Conte could have played Spence could have played through some growing pains with us with us in more or less of the same spot. It's not like Porro has been instrumental in our biggest wins lately.

I know Porro is a very good footballer, but I already wish we could have a do-over on his deal.
Noticed I've gotten some disagrees and laughs on this one. Replying to that...

I'm glad that Porro is doing well. Its money the club spent and a cool person who has joined us that needs our support as fans/supporters.

Would anyone on here seriously argue that we needed Porro more than a new CB though?

Makes me cry. Imagine having young players actually excited to play and make their mark against the top talents in the game? Unfortunate that genius Conte has apparently not grasped this footballing axiom.

Makes me feel much more certain Conte was throwing a secret shit-fit all season behind the scenes with regards to team selection, "club signings" and the like. So disappointing...

No you are right. But you are not factoring Antonio Conte acting like Spence fingered his daughter. He just would not give the lad mins. I fully believe that if he had we had spent the money for Porro on just one competent Centerback we would not be in the mess we are. It's unforgivable behaviour on the part of a man earning 40k A DAY!

Agree. Fucking shame how it all turned out. Thank god most of the young talent is only out on loan.

If Levy is smart right now, he'll get down on his knees and throw the fattest of checks at the most positive, attackingest, feel-goody of managers, and then beg Gil, Spence, et al, and the fans to come back. We'll have to hope at least.

UNSTOPPABLE!!!!!

6/10

Good Lord those French are difficult to please...
 
Absolutely nothing wrong with it. But its a lumpy fee when we need a keeper, 2 centre backs, an attacking midfielder and 2 wide forwards at least. Porro looks good but as a use of resources its questionable. Hopefully we'll recoup a bit on Emerson.

Yeah our recruitment is a bit of a mess however the man in charge hasn't used our squad properly IMO

But I see it as one less problem we need to deal with in the Summer.
