Player Micky van de Ven

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Good player, elegant and dynamic on his day and has a belter of a shot on him.

That being said (and I've gotten pelters for this before), I still don't rate him as a reliable CB. The fundamentals of a top-tier defender (reading the game, positioning, anticipation) aren't really there, and don't seem to have gotten much better. For someone of his size, he offers surprisingly little physicality and presence in the air too.

He's lucky to have supreme speed, as it's no surprise that he's so often making pacy (and often very good) last-ditch tackles as a result.

Perhaps an unfair comparison, but he doesn't hold a candle to Verts. A much more versatile and defensively astute attack-minded CB who also played at LB (which is where Micky should be imo).

If a big offer comes in the summer, we should seriously consider it.
Posted this in December. He's managed to add head-loss and petulance to his Woolwich - consequence of spending time with Romero?

Doing an interview with rat-cunt Neville made it clear where his head was.
 
Want to see him own this. Publicly.
I have a feel after watching him he’s just gonna sulk away.
Gonna say a lot about him, for me.
None of this is gonna help him get that big move he (will likely get anyway) wants. Come back and fight after the drubbing we’re gonna take at Anfield
 
Pathetic last games sent off this. You find out a lot about people when shit hits the fan. Fuck off with Romero in the summer regardless of whether we stay up or not.

What difference does it make? We'd say it's all PR anyway.

This is like when footballers a few years back were writing cringeworthy apologies for missing pens.
 
Can someone do a tonya Harding on this arrogant smug fucks leg so he misses the World Cup and his big transfer?

Sol Campbell 2.0 and an overrated, bang average pace merchant fuck
 
Let's see if he comes out with an apology and a commitment to give his all

I dislike the bloke and really think he has been bang average for a while but he can redeem himself

One game ban.

If he is bsck after the Liveroool match, he needs to give his all and the fcuk off in the summer.

Changed the gane against us tonight. No doubt at all.
