I’m not saying the importance of Ledley and GLC as the same. Of course no one in our modern history can touch Ledley, was trying to state both very injury prone, I was highlighting the fact that no one would call Ledley an unprofessional disgrace. No one should be calling GLC an unprofessional disgrace either. If you grew up in Argentina you’d be prioritising playing for them as well. It’s a totally different culture to ours.

I wasn’t questioning Ledley’s commitment or quality. Merely comparing the fact of 2 injury prone players. One is foreign and an unprofessional disgrace. One is a club legend and is rightly labelled as being unlucky with injuries.
their injury records. Not their importance to our history. People on here desperate to hysterically overact over everything.Did some cunt compare Locelso to Ledley Fucking King.
So his national team physios are giving him the all clear despite not being fit and the depth of talent they have? I’m not a massive fanboy or anything. Going to lose with anything I say but lots in here is so myopic. Not a word would be said if Kane had done this.
Poch has a terrible eye for a professional footballer doesn't he?
Because he wasn't. The suggestion is that GLC wasn't injured as much as he made out for Spurs, and was injured more than he made out for Argentina. Unprofessional. Ledley put Spurs before his health. Gio put Argentina before his health and his health before Spurs. That's the top and bottom of it.
Yeah but he’s landed a gig in the next Specsavers advertising campaign!
Apparently the plot is. he sees Mbappe playing, signs him, only to discover it was really N’Dombele!
I was just looking at the list of buys under his regime and it is beyond useless.
What does Neymar have to do with this?
And I'm pretty sure he had more of a say earlier in the recruitment process toward the end of his time with us than most of the managers we've had since.
Sorry dude. Didn’t mean to misunderstand
. Not sure if you have heard Anderton’s Spurs Show special where he talks about what went wrong at that time, but he lays into the physio department with some, it seems, credibility.
You're calling others myopic.... But if you can't fathom what sets GLC & Ledley King apart and why one is revered and yet the other is frowned upon then you're proving yourself to being selectively ignorant.
..................And yes of-fucking-course "commitment" and "quality" plays a significant role in that.
You should always back your manager.???
Oxlaide-Chamberlain for 38m was just as laughable too.
I can fathom what sets them apart. Fucking hell, I’m talking purely from an injury perspective.
Then why are you so bemused by people's attitudes towards GLC????? ....Afterall, said attitudes towards him aren't isolated to the mere number of days he's missed.
The legitimacy of Ledley's knee problems were never in doubt..... GLCs catalogue of misc. injuries very much ARE being called into question.
..........Besides if you were talking "purely" from an injury perspective then why were you also defending his motivatons from a 'country > club perspective'? .........By your own metric it has nothing to do with that.
is any spurs fan going to compare GLC and Ledley directly? Fuck me this place really is a joke at times. Take a comment and then cram it into a hysterical hyperbolic narrative. Compared their injuries only, but no I’m saying GLC is equally as important as Ledley was to us

There's nothing what-so-ever hysterical nor hyperbolic about anything I've written.
I never mentioned "importance" either so drop the straw-manning.
"Compare their injuries"
I have... You're just in denial of the detail of their respective injury records and how each player's approach to them are obviously going to shape the perception of the respective player.
I’m off for a dirty weekend in Seville
