Yeah, he's not shit, but hardly the calibre of player to raise us to the level we want. Definitely not worth £50m either based on what we've seen so far.

Keys statement is more credible.
Who's responsible for game management?
Even though you just said you didn't agree with his opinion (even though you do)..... Having already previously said to ignore who it was giving said opinion.
State of your gymnastics. You're in knots.
There aren't many people that age who don't have that haircut, I call it the medieval fade
To early to judge if you ask me.
Yes, and his 2nd half performance wasn't exactly enhanced by the fact that his manager substituted him at half time.
A danger yes but his finishing is abysmal. Reminds be of Bergwijn to an extent… he used to break the offside trap for fun but with the exception of Leicester away, 9/10 he made an arse of it

Finishing is good as well imo. Decent off either foot. Wouldn't say he's missed a big chance for us. Martinez saved one and maybe he was late to that Kulusevski cross but I'd back him to finish most times.
Abysmal is an absolute kneejerk. 565' of football for Spurs, mostly played on the wrong side. Never been a sensational finisher but he's got plenty of goals in him per Forest.
Trusting in Ange's process also means trusting the players identified and entrusted to make it work. It's far too early to tell with this lad, but I have faith he'll come good in a fit and firing squad.
Couple of things.
We tore a fancied villa apart at times with a b team. Highest xg this season. We were flying till bentancur got injured. And still created loads when he went off.
Absolutely on our knees injury wise.
Also more importantly,
The team are trained constantly to play a certain way. Same as any team. From top to bottom in the club every team and player. You cannot come out and totally change the way you play. You can tinker with it move it around a small bit but generally stays the same.
We gave out blue murder with our inability to sit back and hold leads for 3 years now. We cant do it. We went for it but lack of players is killing us

Must be beginning of February (well, that's when I've got my next holiday booked!).
Why don’t you give the lad more than 3 starts before you give up.
People said the same stuff about Anthony Gordon when he went to Newcastle, what are they saying now? Give the boy a chance. It was only a top save from Martinez that stopped him scoring on Sunday.
I was thinking the same, especially towards the end, there's nothing wrong with a long punt from Vic now and again, especially when the opposition are up the field, as you say, mix it up a bit
There’s the winter break too as that’s when mine is booked for!

Funny you're bringing up Gordon, cos I was one of the few (probably the only one) to say we should sign him before he was linked with Newcastle.
Like I said, he's a good player, but not a £50m player, based on what we've seen so far.
That's about all that 50m buys you these days when you're looking at inter-EPL club trf's of young, British/HG players.......
I didn't say I didn't agree with Keys, I said it was worth discussion. I don't like him but that doesn't exclude automatically everything he suggests.
