Does have hints of Henry at Juve, struggling to make his name out LW. Maybe not the Pace of Henry, but better finishing.

Funny, I was thinking today about the parallels with Henry. He was at Monaco and everyone got excited. Went to Juve a bit early and played 16 games, scored 3 goals and was looking like it wouldn't work. The scum lucked out and picked him up and turned him into a striker.

Obviously that's where the comparison ends for now because Tel has it all to do but it is a similar story. Only Henry hated the higher ups at Juve and Tel seems to still be loyal to Bayern.
 
At 19, more explosive anyway. Henry was very much a “pass them in” type, not many bangers (plus not gonna big him up much…), hence struggled out wide for Juve goals wise, whereas Tel has a Defoe like power for a skinny guy.
I don't know man, even though he's a gooner, Henry is one of the best finishers I've seen. Regrettably...

Imagine your a right back and you spend the first hour or so of the game defending against someone like Tel , then for the last half hour on comes a fresh Sonny, Odobert or Mickey Moore ! Would be nice to get in a situation where we have Pace and players that scare defenders on the left and right side of our attack!

Once everyone was fit (I know) the perfect way to use Sonny is against tired legs especially when we are defending a lead, I think that was the plan anyway before we had our mass injury crisis.
 
The kid has nothing to lose to be at Spurs till June, better turns up to be a decent loan temp signing for us, we have all to lose.

It is a bit odd for Bayern to let him go if he's to be a top wonder striker with price tag of £50m for a 19 yo?!
 
I don't know if this has been asked (I'm too lazy to read the whole thread sorry 🙈)

Does anyone else think this was something Levy did as a manoeuvre to keep the heat off of him? Seems weird he rejected us in the first place 🤷‍♀️

Of course, you do NOT need to ask. Nothing new when fans have a go at him, he will either sack the manager or buy players to shut them off.

He was probably expecting others offers, then accepted Spurs because it's a few months loan till June to start with which in effect is trial for him and the club. See how it goes... Interesting to see the outcome.
 
I’m not offended. I just genuinely think it’s beyond childish and I’m laughing at gazzapens low level of intellect. I enjoy calling him out for his nonsense.

Takes more than that to offend me. 🙂
It's a pun and actually it's not a bad one. Not in on your issue with the poster, but it's exactly the type of harmless fun should be encouraged. It's not cruel abusive bigoted or dehumanising. Think you're wrong IMHO.
 
Literally just seen that he's picked up a hamstring injury..








:mourhandlaugh: only joking..

I hope he smashes it with us, but we can't expect him to pull up trees.. he is a 19 year old kid, lets back him but not put too much pressure on the lad.

And you're entitled to your view. I however very much stand by my perfectly correct response.

I still think that gazzpen is ignorant, and I will continue to call him out on his childishness.

Thanks for expressing your view though!
