Absolutely not. Sandro has played more games for Spurs than him and generally at a higher performance level. Just because he's been underwhelming this year don't dismiss his otherwise stellar performances until then. Parker is in his shadow.
Sandro (even with his recent injuries) has been better for us overall than Parker, imv
I don't see them in the same role, personally. Parker, for me, was the last line of defence before defence, a guy who face did more than his boots on the goal line, edge of the box, corner flag, it appeared everywhere a shot was. Crazy stuff really.
Sandro isn't that guy for me, so to compare then doesn't fully make sense in my books as neither have ever been designed from the same mould.
If one were to play Sandro instead of Parker in a team and expect Sandro to have the same duty and impact that Parker did on our defence, that would be crazy. They would compliment each other I think as they would both boss the midfield like a tag team.
Don't know where this Jan Vertonghen thread is going, tbh. lol
