I'm assuming that the club is taking this approach to minimise "lost time" though rather than for altruistic reasons, although I'm also assuming that this policy was in place before Forster/Bissouma and not a reaction to it.
Point 2 I think is pretty much debunked now isn't it?
Nope - point 2 is not debunked.
Yes the primary functions of the current vaccines are to stop serious illness and death (which largely they do and it’s this which means we don’t have to bring restrictions back).
But they do have an impact on the spread - scientifically proven.
Next gen vaccines with bigger impact of stopping infection are being worked on. And make no mistake they will happen.
Jose easily got the most out of Tanguy and seemed to know how to dea with his moods.
If we can work out a deal with Roma that may be the best for all parties.
Player 1 with a few injuries and poorly managed but wants to play v Player 2 who is highly talented but cant be arsed due to poor attitude and application.
My money would be on player 1 being a better risk
I think the OG tweet speaks for itself on that front.....
"Tottenham are only choosing to sign players who have had the COVID-19 vaccine".
I mean yeah, if you want to consider 3 paragraphs of over the top strawmanning a major bitch slap then indeed, I'm reeling...Ouch!
I questioned whether there is any real benefit to the club if there are still going to be cases like Forster and Bissouma missing a chunk of pre-season, not why vaccines bloody exist.
Which bit of my post does that address?
I'm not sold on how wise a policy it is on a purely footballing level, as vaccine or not there will be players missing training/matches due to Covid. Just seems like there are only potentially marginal gains to me.
You're certainly more unequivocal about that than the WHO...

Don't they play opposite sides of the pitch?
I think we should test their resolve though, they clearly need to sell to buy and 2 years left on his deal next season he will go at a cut price if they don't sell this summer.
Literally the bit I quoted..... You asked if we'd not sign Bastoni if it transpired he was anti-vax.
Presumably; we would opt not to sign him.
I think it's safe to say the club will look into this deeper than you or I have.
If it's a worthy policy safe to say an in creasing number of other clubs will adopt it too.
Chelsea are keen on everyone. Literally means nothing. Though it doesn’t sense because that guy plays on the right and Gvardiol on the left. I think Boehly knows nothing about football.
I’d rather Bastoni anyways.
OK, well what I mean to ponder on there is, push come to shove, how much is that policy going to be stuck to if it comes to our absolute top level, first choice targets.
On the flipside, does this mean that the club will be looking to shift any current players who haven't had it, if there are any? I could see that being the case for the youth, or fringe players, but if Harry Kane hadn't had it for instance, I would imagine the club would overlook it. Which would be wrong imo.
Granted, we're going well into hypothetical territory here.
Not unequivocal. Just accurate.
I’ll back myself to know a bit about it considering my work over the last few years
Blokes a fucking tool but putting that fact to one side, they play in completely different positions
