Bentancur has 4 assists for Spurs this half season (including 2 today).

Its not the best metric to measure a DM by, but a DM who can contribute a few assists and key passes forward is a great plus for the squad.

Great price in January and has been great for Spurs since then - and absolutely what we needed
 
Oh fuck me... What a time to step up, Benta 😍

Such a brilliant way he set up the first goal, quick thinking and precise ball for 2nd goal as well.

Like all the players, he deserves so much respect for how we ended the season.

Well done, now let's celebrate, take some time off and come back even stronger 💪
 
Think he’s been the most important addition out of the two Juve lads.

Bentancur and PEH with a front three of Son, Kane, Lucas/Berg might get over the line.

Winks and PEH with a front three of Son, Kane, Kulu doesn’t as Winks is that much of a weak link.

But thankfully...

This chap is one of the best midfielders in the league and goes completely under the radar. He’s absolutely everywhere, his passing is crisp and tempo-setting, he’s surprisingly fast, he times tackles to perfection and, most importantly, he’s incredibly intelligent. For what he cost, it’s an incredible deal - plus he’s still young with experience at the highest level. More signings like this, please Mr. Paratici.

100%

We didn't even feel Skipp going missing (who was probably our best midfielder up until that point).

Very fortunate those two managed to stay fit, with the help of some injections.

We categorically do not get top 4 without Bentancur.
 
I'm all for these types of chants but whenever I hear the Kulusevski one I'm pretty sure 90% of the fans singing it don't know the words.
 

Valverde names Spurs star as player he would love Real Madrid to sign – Not Kane or Son​

Real Madrid midfielder Fede Valverde has admitted that he would love his compatriot Rodrigo Bentancur to join him at the Santiago Bernabeu.

It is fair to say that Tottenham’s capture of Bentancur from Juventus in January was not met with too much excitement from the Spurs fan base, given that the midfielder had struggled to get regular game time under Massimiliano Allegri in Turin this season.

However, the 24-year-old has hardly put a foot wrong since arriving in North London and has forged a formidable partnership with Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg in the middle of the park.

Bentancur has not only shown excellent defensive awareness but he has also demonstrated an ability to pick out attackers’ runs with precision, with the former Juve man recording two assists in Tottenham’s 5-0 win over Norwich City on Sunday.

Spurs fans will be excited about what is to come from Bentancur next season and Valverde, who has played alongside the 24-year-old for his country, is certainly aware of the midfielder’s talents.

When asked by Uruguayan publication Futbol Portal who he would like Real Madrid to sign, Valverde did not hesitate in naming Bentancur.


Spurs Web Opinion

Bentancur’s success story is perhaps a lesson to Spurs fans on why not to judge signings based on YouTube highlights or the opinion of those who support the club which he is leaving.

The signings that Conte is going to want to make are players who would be the right fit for his system, and those might not necessarily be big-name stars.
