He’s calling him “Matt”. Must have a personal investment in him.As a RWB. We seem to be using a back four. He's a Championship level RB.
He’s better than Cedric and Bellerin. SCARY HOURSAurier turning up at Arteta's office tommorow:
I have decent investment in Doherty, I'm from Ireland and I'd like to see him do well. He has some positive abilities but he's a defensive liability at RB against speed and trickery.He’s calling him “Matt”. Must have a personal investment in him.
Doherty has reached all of Aurier’s lows with none of his highs.
He’s a solid squad player that’s why. Bang average but allows you to be tactically flexible and he doesn’t make colossal screw ups. He’s still got something to offer. Defensive LB, left of a back 3, he’s still fine.I just realised Ben Davies is still at the club. Funny that he never gets mentioned as someone who fans hate and want out but also he is never mentioned in any team selections. He is in no man's land, a kind of Spursy purgatory
Two words: due diligence. Much of it in the public domain - you could find out for yourself if you had access to Google.All credit to Pochettino for his good work (he did a really good job as a manager).... but he certainly is very poor at judging players' character - as he signed 2 players with an attitude that sucks and both were expensive players.
Clubs DO have information about a certain player's "mental attitude" and it was really poor judgment by Pochettino - and the scouts - not to spot those character traits in both Aurier and Ndombele.
Aurier played decent enough last season to be able to get a new club at a decent price but he prefers to sit out his contract. Most probably "well-advised" by his agents.
At least Nuno has shown he does not tolerate the non-sense of Aurier and Ndombele.

He deserves credit for that.Played for us right after his brother was murdered. Certain fans of this club deserve nothing.
Which is what Ndombelly is doing?He publicly came out and said he wanted to leave Spurs- which would essentially make it difficult for any manager to put him in the team.
However he and his agent then refused all the offers that came in, to enrich themselves and rip off Spurs.
No, with Ndombele I think Spurs didn't get satisfactory offers too.Which is what Ndombelly is doing?
No respect at allRespect to him to accept termination of contract rather than take a salary for 12 months like Rose did last year. He was better than Doherty but with 12 months remaining on contract and with his replacement in situ, he was the obvious one to go.
Like Winks to Everton?No, with Ndombele I think Spurs didn't get satisfactory offers too.
While with Aurier we did, and he just rejected them all.
He deserves credit for that.
However, not for how he's acted this summer:
Winks actually wants to stay and fight for his place though.Like Winks to Everton?
He should have thought about that before publicly declaring he's not going to play for Spurs anymore.Why should he go to clubs that we offer him but he isnt interested in. That is stupid.
But Winks is a “good lad” and “one of us”Like Winks to Everton?
