''Wide open''
always thought he was overrated by fans when he was at his best to be honest. dont think hes a bad player, but not as good as people thought. i dont think hes a nailed down first 11 for a top side but defo a competent squad player who doesnt make you drastically weaker when hes used.
defo wanna keep him if we want to be mixing with the big boys as we need actual quality in depth and he does give us that.
Crazy defending this blokes behaviour it was reckless and bloody stupid. Get rid. He be lucky if he's not banned from league matches. I really liked him BTW.
Maybe, but there’s still a trend where this guy is only making headlines for his off field behaviour, not his on field ability, which has been lacking.
Does 2 (very much differing) incidents qualify as a "trend"?
Genuine question......
As you said they're completely different instances, and maybe you can give him some leeway for the Uruguay debacle, as by all account it was an absolute mess. But while different, neither story puts him in a positive light does it?
It's been discussed to death, but I have a really hard time moving past the Sonny comments, which completed tainted him in my eyes.
Not even the main focus in that problem. Nunes climbing was the hero. Was it right to did what he did? No, is it disastrous? No. Why all the drama.
Dude needs to play QB for the Jets.
Bottle throwing is OK for some. Seriously...
Look at the speed and force he threw. Intent was spoken at length about his racist remark. Don't tell me there is no intent to fucking hurt someone with that force he unleashed the bottle. He could have caused someone serious permanent damage. NOT OK. FFS.

Honestly I don't see him having a future with us now. Not with Ange definitely. For someone who places such importance on character in the dressing room, I don't think he would even be pleased with the way he kick the chair on being subbed last season. The racist remark would have Ange considering his place and this stupidity of violence could well be the last straw.
I'm so angry and disappointed because I really want him to succeed with us.

Storm in a teacup.
Yeah.
I was just looking in my big bag of bothered to see how many shits I gave, I wasn't surprised to find it empty.
Seems to play more for his international side than us
The flat out fucking hypocrisy of some on here boils my piss.
If a player from a rival team did what he did or said what he said, they'd gladly string him up for it.
But because a person who is paid to play for Spurs does it, people try to excuse it.
Same for when the likes of Romero gets sent off - "it was barely a red, maybe not even a yellow"
Mate, he cut the bloke in half then spat in the wound.
"Yeah, but it looks worse in slow mo"
