Perfect player for us really. Only issue is I don't think he gives us much threat in attacking set-pieces nor is he a dominant defender of them. (and neither does Dier provide much attacking threat). Liverpool, City and Chelsea all clean up with set piece goals. If you play 3cb's all the time, you'd like a few of them to be chipping in with 2/3/4 goals. I think Romero has it in him, to be fair.
You know I never knew that brilliant player hated the bastard when he left. Horrific living in time when Rangers had so much more clout than us.
Quite a few of us with good memories of those times - seems almost incomprehensible now that a player would leave Spurs for Rangers with Rangers fees too big to turn down once player had decided to go.
Real shame we ended with neither Gough nor Butcher
Bad source but TuttoMercato linking us with Youssouf Fofana. Partners Tchouameni in Monaco's midfield.. good, rangy defensive player.. has good passing in him but think he'd be a risky move. Cheick Doucoure an option that's not quite as strong defensively but I'd be way more sure of his ability with the ball.
Yet another piece of "news" that does not make sense: I am sure that a deal for Bissouma would have no effect at all on Spurs interest in Eriksen. Two different players and two different scenarios.
Tottenham to return for Brighton star if they fail to secure Christian Eriksen deal
Tottenham have a potential back up for Christian Eriksen if the deal for the midfielder falls through this summer.www.londonworld.com
We need to wait for the criminal investigation to conclude before we even consider YB. Personally I am not sure I am comfortable with him at our club no matter the result of the investigation and prosecution.
Well that's just a pathetic comment, and I'm sick to death of people unwilling to accept if someone's been found not guilty by a court of law, just because they're formed their own judgmental opnions.
Innocent until proven guilty is supposed to be how our law works.
If guilty, then yes I would not want him at our club. If found not guilty, I see absolutely no issue whatsoever and he'd be an asset.
It may not even get that far..... The police may still decide he has no charges to answer.
People are jumping the gun talking about court.
Poor fucker's suffered enough this year!
I'd pick Lovro Majer over both of them
clock is ticking..

Yea, sure, Spurs certainly would win this "battle"
Yeah but do you really think that either PSG or Real would be interested? Surely we're about his ceiling - CL and with Conte as manager
Different type of player.. wouldn't be any spot for him in midfield with a 3-4-3. But yeah, I really like him, would be an good alternative to Eriksen if we plan to play some 3-5-2 next season. I do wonder about his athleticism a bit.

Which is why I said not sure. I know that he is innocent until proven guilty but, especially in matters of sexual assault convictions are notoriously hard to achieve and do we want someone who gets off because the victim was drunk/ is an 'unreliable' witness/ has mental health issues etc.
I genuinely don't know how I would feel. What if his accuser was my daughter? There are a lot of writers who have made a good case that the justice system doesn't serve sexual crimes well. (Bindel being the most visible) yet I also agree that innocence until guilt is proven is vital.
This vid didn't show much of his defending. At the same time he had 3 attempts on goal (with 1 goal) and an assist, so we know he can contribute going forward. But I also want to see Romero level defending from him.
Probably should watch at least a handful of full matches. Although entertaining, youtube compilations paint a very limited picture of a player's abilities.
Perisic has decided to not renew his Inter contract and instead join us.
I stand by the 'if found innocent, he is innocent' view. Otherwise our justice system is worthless and people will continue to have their names dragged through the mud and their lives destroyed, for no reason.
Agree that we should wait for the investigation to be concluded, or have an agreement in place for IF he's found not guilty.
