Levy should have just paid the fucking fee and it would have been us loaning him to Botafogo instead of Lyon. Fucking baldy.
 
I mean if he turns out to be completely unsuitable for whatever reason. Tactically incompetent, poor player recruitment, poor squad management, playing favourites etc..

Levy would be to blame for not having done his homework.

He’s already recruited really well and the club also deserves some credit for supporting him to do that. He’s already shown that he can coach players with Udogie, Porro, Sarr etc … That’s never enough though. He needs to keep up improving and the club needs to back him even more than it has so far.
 
I fucking loved what I saw of Bergvall so far. He could do a Dele. Easily.

My issue isn’t him getting minutes here and there or being in the rotation. My issue is where the creativity comes from when Maddison is injured for a month. Bergvall at 18 after a full season in Sweden is unlikely to be physically ready for that and it would be very Spurs for us to give him a chronic injury right at the start of his career by overusing him during the first hype.

The way Pep managed Foden early was a lesson in bringing young players through.
To be fair, Pep had the luxury because he'd already assembled a Billion pound squad.

On the flip side, that approach cost him Sancho and Palmer, so it's a bit swings and roundabouts with that approach.

If the games against Bayern, which were by far the sternest tests we've had preseason, are anything to go by, he's ready to challenge for that starting berth. As I've posted previously, if you're good enough you're old enough.

Having said all that, I expect that he'll get a fair few minutes from the bench early doors. If he impresses, he'll likely get a few starts.

I think it'll be Moore that is managed in the same way Foden was. Gradually integrated over the season, with his minutes per game increasing if he shows he can hack the Prem as is.
 
More beneficial for us and him to go out on loan, what's he gonna do being stuck on the bench for a year for a just in case scenario, he's not going to improve is he?
I reckon half a season with the u21s with chances off the bench in the Europa league group stage and then maybe half-season loan in Jan depending on how healthy the squad is looking, what comps we're still in etc. Wouldn't be against a full season loan though tbf, think there's a lot of room he can improve technically and his hold up play doesn't really get tested at u21 level.

Moore as well.

Bergvall already played a full season in Sweden. People are forgetting that imo.
