He's no better than an average defender - we need a much better unit

Thankfully they'll mostly be Woolwich fans and we now have a great Unai Emery stat, that's actually a great quiz question...he's won 4 out of 5 EL finals, name the only team he failed with?
Looks to me like he is a right back now. Is he better than what we have there now? I would say yes.
You are a parody mate.
Why is it that so many fans are obsessed with the amount of trophies our ex-players.
Apart from a few players who went on to win something for English clubs and Real Madrid (they were all World Class level) - what does it matter when players go on to win trophies in other leagues? It's totally different.
A win like that of yesterday was a fairytale for Villareal (1st major trophy in their history) and I'm happy for Foyth and Capoue. Whether they are good enough for us and what we need is a different discussion though. But this counting of all kinds of trophies (including Finnish, Saudi and MLS) is obsessive.
Maybe it's just me.

I'm not mates with Chelsea fans.
Well you need some so don't be too choosy.
Is this what constitutes a comeback in your world?
Surprised you have the time to type in between sucking off Drogba.
You're an eejit.
I agree with this.
We need to get rid of mistake riddled players like Aurier, Dier, Sanchez and Sissoko not add to them.
After the mistake riddled players go then get rid of the bang average squad of Davies, Winks, Lamela and sadly Dele.
I wanted Doherty gone but now I'm thinking it's not realistic to bring 2 rbs in as well as 2 cbs.
Congratulations to Foyth.
Good to know another Spur picking up a trophy.

Mourinho didn’t see the WINNER inside of Foyth? Colour me shocked
Certainly no worse but don’t forget he did give away a stupid pen in first leg v Woolwich
Yep I completely agree with you mate.He’ll be coming back hopefully bringing some winning mentality
Amazing though how emery has got them to beat manure with basically rejects and some old players. Bloody foyth capoue, Moreno , quacalan etc. How da hell has he managed that? Just shows a decent manager can do wonders unfortunately we had a Dinasour who couldn’t oraganize the proverbial piss up in a brewery. They now go into CL instead of joining us in conference. Missed opportunity.
Always makes me cringe when I hear pundits or fans talking about Spurs lacking 'winners' or needing a 'winning mentality' when you have countless examples of our ex-players or loan players or even current players with other teams/national teams all having very good trophy records.
It's a super lazy narrative to write on a team that doesn't win, basically sacking off all further analysis down to "not good enough mate".
I would imagine they’d exercise their option to buy Foyth.He’ll be coming back hopefully bringing some winning mentality
This. I'm not a fan of back 5 so much, but it would seem to actually fit our available defensive players quite well:
LWB: Reguilon, Sessegnon
LCB: Davies, CBs
CB: Our CBs
RCB: Tanganga, Foyth, CBs
RWB: Aurier, Doherty
Just another excuse for people to lay into the club they supposedly support.
Out of that list of players, we’d maybe want to have kept four or five of them. The rest were dumped for being shite, utter shite.
Can’t wait for all the Winks haters to suddenly get on their high horses when he wins the Scottish title with Rangers in six years time. He’ll be world fucking class then.
