Well if we say anyone can be made to look good in a highlights real even if they are crap, we better pray the opposite is true as well
Typical January signings in other words...hopefully Conte can get a tune of them, I'm not going to write them as easily as that...
Nobody should be writing them off. But on paper they are two mediocre signings. Aston Villa have signed Coutinho and Digne, Newcastle Guimaraes, Trippier and Burn, Liverpool Luis Diaz... Signings to genuinely be somewhat excited about.
Disagree. PEH isn’t a perfect player but he’s still a very solid one. Probably shouldn’t be playing every minute like he has for us the past two years but he would get into a lot of good sides. I don’t get this obsession with acting like any player who isn’t world class is crap or championship level. We definitely need a more technical player in the squad but he’s a good all around player who can do different roles. Winks also has been solid under Conte. The obsession with acting like young players are always better is so stupid as well. Skipp played in the championship last year. PEH started every game in the EPL. He was a major player for Denmark at the Euros. He just has a larger body of work to pick out his bad games and harp on those. Skipp is a great player too with a bright future but every player will go through ups and downs but for some reason before we’ve seen the downs we act like they’ll never come.
Agree , if Conte genuinely wants this guy I’m sure he will fit in. Let’s give him a fair crack of the whip at least
Can’t be worse than N’dombele? though his skill set wasn’t in doubt it was his attitude! So you’ve a player less skill full but gives you a 100% or a guy with exceptional skills but only giving 50% or less what do you want…….
I can’t recall the last time we signed a player who was slated to this extent before joining.
It fills me with cautious hope :contethumb::contepray:

I can....
To he fair, I'm being a bit harsh.... as at the time of signing him, Ade had become a bit of an anti-hero after winding up the Gooners at the Etihad...
He was their public enemy #1....
And as the old saying goes:
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend"
...I still don't think he was our most popular signing, mind you! ...it was hardly Klinsmannia, was it?
I dunno, the tape rarely lies. Take this tiny
"This guys sucks" videos should be more of a thing, that's hilarious.
Who would be the worst one for us? I feel like PEH and Sanchez are my top two picks.
The thing I like about Hojbjerg is he doesn't find his way onto the other team's highlight reel. Solid player who can go out and get the ball back. I also think he's got a little more of an attacking game than he's shown based on how he looked playing for Denmark. Bentancur should help both Skipp an PEH. Skipp will get more chances to go forward and Hojbjerg won't wear down late in the season from not being able to get off the field. Spurs still need creativity in mid-field but that may be a summer project. Then again, we don't know what will happen tomorrow. Maybe there is more help on the way.
Shit man, we'd probably have enough for an entire Netflix or Amazon series.
Isn't he in Uruguay? Will he do a medical over their or come to the UK?
Medical done in Uruguay signed until 2026
Our first Uruguayan I believe?
