Weeks, rather than months"
I just hope vertonghen is not too bad.
Good sign was that he was standing.
I have done that many times without rupturing ligaments.
yet I feel he'll be missing until at least March. Swelling down, motion back, impact etc before training. Rush him back and he's at risk of same injury again or developing others.
Maybe for Southampton at home, or if we're lucky the 2nd leg of the EL 16.

So let me get this straight.
Minimal mention for Spurs with regards to being in the top 4 in the last couple of weeks, all others mentioned, Utd are the ones on fire and challenging for the title.
But now Vertonghen is out for a few weeks, Sky Sports spoken headline is "Spurs Title Hopes dashed".
You gotta laugh.
You mean hyped for Wimmer?Kevin Wimmer hype
Rimmer was fantastic when he deputised for Verts previously so I have no worries there.
If we beat Man City then they'll act like we're a title challenger that has come out of nowhere.So let me get this straight.

Not thrilled in any way about Verts' injury, but not concerned in any way with Wimmer (hopefully) getting around those 10 - 12 PL games a season again, just like last year. Hopefully, because I don't want to see Davies in that position. I know he played in that role with Wales in the EUROs, but playing him would mean we only play with one proper CB in Alderweireld. And with Kompany back for City, a bit of height defending corners and crosses will do us good.You mean hyped for Wimmer?
Spursism. This must become a word!!Sky's Spursism is now so blatant, that I'm actually starting to enjoy it. Fuck 'em.

I don't agree at all that people say we should upgrade Wimmer. He's young and has a fantastic reading of the game already. Is strong and can put the ball about. Excited to see how he steps up in the next few years as i think he can just get better and betterNot thrilled in any way about Verts' injury, but not concerned in any way with Wimmer (hopefully) getting around those 10 - 12 PL games a season again, just like last year.

So, this weekend, Wimmer.
I've seen some posts and tweets that we should 'upgrade' Wimmer. But there is no one in the market which fits our profile so well as him (left footed, not the slowest, international player, good passing range, minimum one season in a top league) for the 5 million we paid for him. The scouts did a good job here.

You heard it here first.
Is it "Spursist" to be "Spursy"? I find myself musing Spursically on Spursism, Spursionally even. However, far be it from me to Spursingly linger on Spursification, Spursened by Tottenham.
