Me too. Only very stupid people or the type quick to focus on some peoples attitude can not see the implications of having an executive that has displayed horrific strategic decision making. And lousy personell management. I want us to be the best. making mistakes that's fine, but if you show no ability to learn from mistakes you've got no chance. Let's see if these people can learn and grow.

Passing, moving and recycling possession. He was also decent at tackling and interceptions.
You're welcome
Don't disagree that we should have replaced Dembele sooner or that Winks could have been upgraded but he was a solid Prem player for a couple of years before obviously he became quite injury prone. Edwards has never really proved he's good enough which is why no teams from the 'big five' leagues took a punt on him when he was available.
It's obvious this is probably happening now and will happen again in the future under these clowns.
That is the point I am attempting to make.
Some can see it; others choose not to.
Djed Spence is playing well so obviously we are talking about Harry Winks
I'm not supprised certain people simply go along with the mob and don't question narratives, it explains why we are in the mess we are globally. But unlike the stupid, I bothered to find out for myself, I spoke to people at Nottingham Forest when he was there and repeated on this forum what I was told, he was not the individual the clueless were making him out to be.
Some of it is simply bigotry, we know who those ones are I have them blocked, but the reason it matters is that our club is not going to be throwing money around. We can't afford for players of Spences ability to be sidelined because they are simply introverts without borrish Alpha male personality traits .
We have to be smarter, more able, more creative and better at reaching all kinds of people or we will suffer. A completely unprecedented crisis saved this lads career at Spurs and it's that simple they can spin as much as the want in retrospect.

Blocked all the dummies the bigots and Angelas life's too short. They don't add any value to the forum.
Were you not picked by a coach once in your life and have never been able to let it go since?
Seriously, what is this weird obsession with Harry Winks getting chances to play about?
And someone playing Champo football with Burnley.
Obviously…
I mean who else would we be talking about in this thread?
Maybe Ange would have given Marcus Edwards more chances to play (drops stink bomb and leaves thread)
ah but my orange tastes more orangey than your appleHarry Winks has 6 goals and 8 assists in 258 career appearances
Marcus Edwards has 41 goals and 27 assists in 212 career appearances. And a 'bad attitude'
Levy got a sell on clause.
What's wrong with that analysis Michael?
Winks always had trouble with physicality. He got bullied in the midfield in PL and still is at Leicester. He is a EFL level player.
Matt Wells was the only man who knew

Djed Spence’s career revival at Tottenham Hotspur is one of the best stories to emerge from the 2024/2025 Premier League season.
Until the ongoing campaign, it seemed like Spence had made a blunder by signing for Tottenham in the first place.
The 24-year-old is in the form of his life and not many English full-backs are in better form than him currently.
According to a report by Football.London journalist Alasdair Gold, it was Matt Wells who has been “championing” Spence since the summer as he always felt the versatile full-back was a perfect fit in Ange Postecoglou’s system.
Recently, Postecoglou admitted to testing Spence in order to determine whether he was ready to play for him and the report does mention that the former Celtic boss kept a close eye on him.
Furthermore, it has been claimed that Spence, who has been lauded by Dominic Solanke is a popular member of Tottenham’s squad as well.
Tough times don’t last, tough people do and the Spurs fan favourite is an embodiment of that being the case.
Journalist Jay Harris stated: I’ve spoken to people who know him quite well, and they’ve said that Spence is a bit introverted, and he can be quite aloof. And so there are times where people probably have misinterpreted that as him not caring or him having a bad attitude. But I think what we’re seeing before us now is a 24 year old who was a young boy.”
“He’s a young man now. Apparently during his time in Italy with Genoa, that was quite a powerful experience for him because Leeds didn’t work out for a number of different issues but mainly because he had quite a bad knee injury, which ruled him out.”
However, Spence decided to knuckle down and put the graft in upon his return to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium from his loan spell at Genoa.
“I think, for two and a half months, three months in total. So he’s gone from barely getting a game in the Championship to he played at the San Siro twice with Genoa. He played against Juventus away for Genoa. And so he’s returning to Spurs and he’s thinking, wow, if I want to kick on with my career at the highest level, I seriously need to knuckle down. He did that.”
Matt Wells, who could have replaced Postecoglou also deserves massive credit for always backing the talented Spence.
The one man at Tottenham who knew Djed Spence was perfect for Spurs' system wasn't even Postecoglou
Djed Spence is in the form of his life 🔥
