Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Don’t post a picture of that wanker even in jest! In my head I’ve eradicated him from my memory!

It really fucking irritates me when people try to justify Romero’s behaviour.

We’ve been shit before but would players like Perryman, Roberts, King, Lloris, Sonny dig in and try to influence on the pitch or would they have a bitch to the media and then behave like a petulant child?!

Edit: surprise, surprise the resident troll finds it funny! 🙄 I’d have put money on it being him!
He’s angry and frustrated worh the board’s lies and lack of ambition. So are we!!
 
I reckon it could still work out for him here. It will take us staying up and Poch coming in for us to see a rejuvenated VdV.
poch isnt a miracle worker, he couldnt even win a trophy when we had arguably the best team in england over 2 years...finished 3rd in a 2 horse race ffs, a 5000/1 shot pops off at our expense basically. we need ambitious owners that have half a clue on how football works.

we need the PSG owners or something very similar.
 
Yeah?

Why are people giving this an "angry" emoji? Are they angry that Sol Campbell is being besmirched? wtf
 
Considering he had the armband on I was quite disgusted by his performance. Looks like he's checked out. And in that case I don't want someone like that wearing the captains armband.
 
Was all over the place. Without Romero he struggles imo. Seems to be always out of position. Doesn’t really do much defending either. Maybe in a great team he’s an asset but give him a lot of defending to do that doesn’t involve sprinting back last ditch and he’s way off
 
I think we can or should now be able to put to bed that Van De Ven is this elite central defender.

I'm not knocking him per se as opposed to saying maybe if he was less arrogant he might work harder at becoming the player he amd his supporters believe.

And he isn't a leader. Look at Van Dijk, Terry, Adams, et al. That's what a central defensive leader looks like.
 
He’s a sulker, not a leader, need to sell

Yep, agree on the sell aspect

I think he is decent but not great. Doing very little of use right now.

My concern, much like Romero and maybe one or two others is that they think they are better than this club, despite being part of its current situation. I mean what the fcuk.

I hope and pray we survive this season, and then we need the biggest set of decisions we have seen in the last 25 years, with the right people overseeing matters.

Embarrassing from him today. Didn’t even look like he could be arsed to run hard, he lost some races that didn’t look possible for him to lose.

As a captain I didn’t see him do any talking, any organising or any leading of any kind.

He’s got his Europa trophy and now it’s all about his next club. That’s the vibe he’s giving at the moment.

Careful, bonaspur23 will ask you for the proof
 
This arrogant cunt has thrown the towel in. Not an amazing player either. Another who’s still got stock with the fans from the first 10 games under Ange. Take him out of a high line where his pace makes him pull off lots of highlight reel style moments and you’re left with a bang average Premier League defender.
