Its all opinions of course on what he would or wouldn't have gone on to do but I just think like a Coutinho or a Bale with us under AVB he thrived because of the system he was in where he basically could do and try anything he wanted due to the severe lack of attacking quality around him and a club that was annually struggling for their top flight lives. Has Coutinho suddenly become a rubbish player? No, its just that in Spain he wasn't the guy in the team that the ball consistently went through. He wasn't the guy that took all the set pieces and with players around him like Messi, Griezman, Suarez, Dembele and a manager that asked him to do a role in left midfield, all of a sudden he looked a shadow of the player he was at LFC. I think LeTissier would've gone the same way once he left and I think deep down he knew it too and thrived in his new founded freedom where he was able to express himself fully and through that his finishing (which was exceptional) thrived. Never under estimate the role systems can play in inhibiting talented players and vice versa (in reverse see Zaha at Palace vs Utd......100M player now lmao)

He also nearly joined Chelsea at one point.
The deal was thrashed out in the bar where i work(agents etc).

Odd that he says he was a boyhood Spurs fan. I always got the opposite feeling both from his playing days and later punditry. Always seemed bitter when referring to Tottenham. I wonder is there more of a story regarding being signed by us?
Some of the goals he scored were outrageous. But when called up for England he was largely ineffective.

One of the best goals I’ve ever seen. Pure genius. An amazing talent to do that or even attempt it. A thing of beauty that one.
Wonder what the XG was for that game?
Stick your stats up your arse. That’s football.
Agreed. It was a thing of beauty. Instinctive brilliance.
Twitter is a cess pit.
I follow Spurs related accounts & some of the transfer idiots for a laugh, If you click on 'Trending' it is 99% cunts.

Can't see the tweet, what did he say?
He is anti- mask and thinks its tinfoil hat government agenda..
so.. to prove this.. he compared it to
"The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law
The people who killer her were following it"
Audition for a gig on TalkSport?
Maybe looking for his own column in the Torygraph or Mail?
Or maybe he's simply a stupid cunt.
I had him as better than that. Gone way down in my estimation with such a cheap shot that he obviously thought witty and wise. Wrong Matt, stick to football.

His Tweet was inappropriate but the reaction on Twitter is OTT as usual.
I know right bloody twitter lefties. Holocaust comparisons to batshit conspiracy theories aren't thaaat bad.
