Player Djed Spence

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The difference between Spence and Royal is that Spence has talent he doesn't work to develop. Royal wasn't nearly as talented but he worked at what abilities he had.
i was one of the people baffled to by why he wasnt getting a chance and we was watching shit like emerson royal week in week out....we know why now! he needs to be cut out the club ASAP.
 
Such a non entity of a player! Does the odd tackle, but the minute he gets the ball you know with 100% certainty nothing will come of it. He’ll run into a dead end, turn backwards and then pass it off to Romero or VdV.

Add this to his ego and you have a guy who just isn’t good enough to be starting week in, week out
 
Had a fantastic spell at LB for us which earned him a spot in the England squad (which he'll likely keep).

Rave reviews all round.

He's fallen off, but let's not pretend he's not a footballer all of a sudden.

We've seen what he can do when he's on it.

He absolutely can be a bid of a dickhead tho, granted.
 
One of the very few that played positively in his mentality last night. He was covering every blade on that flank and went at people the whole game.
Hopeless last night. Offers nothing. He’s just fast and fast players just make mistakes quicker. Hate him. Can’t wait for him to be sold. When I think to guys like Aurier and Royal and like them better than Spence then it tells me everything.
 
Find it interesting that Conte (world class coach) wanted nothing to do with him. Many managers before raised concerns...

Ange, (despite so many unnecessary opinions) managed to MANAGE him into a role in which he was really performing and SEEMINGLY contributing to this club.

Ever since Ange has departed this club, his attitude and actions have SEVERELY let him down.

Not sure whether it's evidence to Spence being a c**t or Ange being the ELITE manager I believe he is.

Either way, this is so frustrating to watch.
The Ange comment is key.

For all his shortcomings Ange was able to motivate our players, including Spence - they liked Ange and respected him for what he offered - he gave the senior players a general licence to play with freedom.

Both Frank and Tudor cannot motivate our players - they constrain our players - it will never work
