Player Rodrigo Bentancur

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The fact that ENIC/the new ownership structure decided to give this guy a bumper new deal, despite all their hot air about wanting to make us truly competitive, is why even with Levy gone, the jury is still very much out on these clowns.

Bentancur is the absolute text book definition of bang average. Juventus do not sell top players for 15 million, and Bentancur is certainly no exception.

This new deal means we are likely lumped with him for the foreseeable though. He’s going absolutely nowhere.
 
He's not good enough. Far too sluggish. Sure, he has some good moments but never capable of dominating the midfield when we're desperate for it.

Him, Bissouma, Richarlison, Johnson should all be out the door.

I'll give Tel and Odobert a pass because they're young but those four should be moved on. They've had numerous chances.

Not good enough to feature regularly for a top 6 club.

I don't think he's good enough but fuck me if there was ever a player playing well below his level, almost every time he goes away and plays for his NT he looks pretty good.

He's not a 6 and never will be (I used to think he was) his best performances normally come from playing as an 8.
 
Unfortunately like sandro it feels like a big injury has really affected his level. He was a very good player for us up until that. I don't think his performances since then have warranted a new contract.
