No chanceNot particularly fussed about KWP going but I’m fucking excited this probably means a new RB then
Don’t agree, he’s held his own at Barca away after making a mistake that led to their goal.It is fairly obvious this KWP will never make it. He is a local lad, yes but he has had so many years to improve. The wheigt, the strenght. He is and never will be a premier league player. I wish him all the best.
3.5 years left on KWP contract, so after a 6 month loan will be 3 years left on contract.
Either return to Spurs after getting a decent run of games if he impresses, or potential sale to Southampton or other PL club.
Risk free strategy for Spurs.
And invaluable game time in PL for KWP
Plenty of RB Cover for Spurs includes Aurier, Tanganga, Foyth - plus Dier who played for almost a season at RB for Spurs - plus academy youngsters (either specialist RB Hinds or centre backs/RB such as Eyoma).
Or option 3, he stinks the place out and we struggle to shift him in the Summer.
Like with Onomah, it was time for him to move on and we should have accepted the best offer for him. 5+ add ons maybe. It's a gamble to loan him and hope he plays well enough to appreciate in value. A Championship loan would have been better for that. I fear he won't play that much at Southampton and won't excel in the games he does, hopefully I'm wrong on both counts.
There's no upside to a Championship loan though. That's not going to catch anyone's eye for a soon-to-be 23 year old on PL squad player wages.
