If he was ten years younger maybe
Not the debate I was raising.
In our rotation Brennan is better suited and more productive.
Chiesa is a better footballer technically for sure but that’s only part of the picture for recruitment.
Now maybe Chiesa is back to his best physically and he beats Diaz to starts more often but there’s also a fairly big chance the Prem is way too physical for him and he’s not faster or more explosive than most defenders he faces. Brennan is faster than pretty much all of them.
You're an optimist mate, i'll give you that.
He’s also worse at football than most of them tbf
At least Jack Clarke gets to show what he can do in the Prem.
Levy basically wrote him off buy hiring Mourinho.
Yeah, buzzing for him.
Worked hard and got his move. I hope he does great at Ipswich
But he’s most likely to still put up good numbers. And let’s face it, good teams have almost always been littered with limited footballers who do their job.
But unless you actually play Johnson in behind he’s not got the ability to beat anyone, and he runs on rails. Chiesa can…you know, control a football and move in different directions and whatnot.
We won't even be getting a Meze tomorrow let alone Eze.
I can't tell if you are an elite level troll or a raving lunatic
Chiesa will be absolutely fine with the physical aspect of the PL. He’s a tough little bugger and remarkably traditional and direct in how he plays. I also think they might try and play him a little more centrally, off Nunez perhaps? He’s versatile. I don’t think he’s only a wide man.
As we all know, it’s just a question of whether his body holds up.
Again, not the debate I’m having.
Brennan has a job to do in this team that he’s physically better suited to than Chiesa.
Obviously Chiesa is the better footballer. At his peak, pre injuries he was probably a top 5 wide forward in Europe.
It’s a thin line in this place.
Do you do bar-mitsvas?
I’d rather have Chiesa out there failing to do what Johnson is failing to do.
The thing is that every team signs under-performing players and then either moves them on or annoyingly sees them fester as they wind their contracts down.
Didn't Ferguson say that over half a team's signings don't work out? Something like that anyway.
But of course, we're the worst in that regard. Our scouting department is and generally always has been shit. Every critical poster has 20/20 hindsight and of course, were among the first to call our latest signings as shit, or cheap options, or Levy being Levy or whatever.
Because to be the most Tottenham online you first have to show how much (pretend to) hate Tottenham.
Tell me about it
I do wish people would be a bit more serious and down the line with their posting style
