Player Mohammed Kudus

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Just jinxed, not that I think Kudus is all that. That's why we only should have sold Johnson after we bought a replacement.

Bet Johnson is laughing his head off.

Sheer fcuking ineptitude.

If Frank wanted to know what's coming he need only view the 3 injuries in no time at all, after sanctioning the sale of our top goalscorer. Fcuking tool.

Total incompetence/negligence by the board for sanctioning that transfer without a replacement.

For "great businessmen" they're fucking shit at business.

It's just astonishing, especially when we already had 3 key players out.

I mean Johnson, whatever his faults caused no friction, got on with it, and would score goals.

We sell him, okay but now moving to day 09 and nothing.

It beggars belief and Frank was okay with it, clearly.

Beyond words.

I think we will scrape through this season, but my God we make some of our own problems.

They're just fucking shit full stop.

Like they were sitting there for over 20 years going

' Oh if only Levy wasn't in charge we could be winning lots of stuff '

The Lewis family in any incarnation they put forward are the real cancer in this club, a bunch of cunts.
 
Top player. Next year he will be worth 100m.

Odobert surely takes his spot now, right? Having a player that gets to the by line and look to deliver instead of slowing play up every time, with 0 end delivery is quite refreshing.
 
Ideally they’ll both play simultaneously LW/RW given they are still our best wingers on paper.
We're much more dynamic with Odo at RW, like we can actually break up the pitch. When Kudus plays, he slows the ball down, ignores FB under/over laps and wants to beat a man. Gives the defence a year to sort themselves out, then crosses it for a throw in, into the keepers arms, a goal kick, or smashes into the defender for a goal kick.
It's nice to have a player be direct for a change. Is Odobert more talented than Kudus? Absolutely not, but Kudus has the brain like Pegasus in Hercules.
 
I'm not sure they do. Someone can't grow a brain for you.
That seems a bit simplistic a reduction of the situation. I’m sure Kudus is a reasonable human being capable of being coached. He’s probably realized he doesn’t trust Frank or his teammates after he signed. Frank has handled him poorly imo- was a red flag waving a mile away as overplayed before his injury.

He's not young, he's the same player he's always been, and there's a laundry list of players like him that are all flair little substance.

Dude, he slows everything down, Dele used to it too on his end days. We have a clear break away, but he stands still, tries to beat a man standing up and slows everything down rather than an easy pass. Not simplistic to think that a 25 won't change his spots. Show me players that completely change their game at that point and that's grand.

You obviously like Kudus, all good, but he's not very good. We just got did, as usual. Absolute show pony, always been that way, and he's shown absolutely nothing to argue it. You can speculate what he might do all day long, but I could argue he could grow wings and fly off. It's not going to happen, it's slightly less realistic than him developing a football IQ out of nowhere.

Agree with all that but not having him stranded on his weak foot at the right mid, firmly in the middle third will help him

Obviously the football hasn’t been great to say the least but it’s been better since Kudus has been out. Pretty certain Kudus isn’t going to get any better or change either. I don’t think it’s just decision making, this is technical as well. Take the ball square on, head down, not attack the space in behind, it’s the way he’s comfortable playing. You can’t just change that imo.

The better football has resulted in 3 domestic losses (all 3 beaten on xg) 1 draw who we had to salvage in the last min and Dortmund
