Frank had fuck all to do with Tel. Didn't even speak to each other.

Brother, that is a terrible take.
The Hitchen record beggars belief. Lucas Bergvall is ten country miles better than anyone Hitchen signed.
Not on the payroll, but benefitting from "scoops" is borderline bribery.Ahh that's right. Levy has journos and fake ITKs on the payroll
You'd like to think the whole football world would turn their backs on Forest because of this guys behaviour. To paraphrase Fergie's comment "I wouldn't sell them a virus" maybe everyone should refuse to sell players to Forest and players who want out should just run down their contracts.
Nutters seem to Forget Modric is probably a top 10 GOAT for them and Bale won them at least 1 Champions League with important goals in finals.
Hitchen was European Scout at Spurs when we signed Modric.
He then went to Liverpool and signed Suarez.
Track record since then is, err, patchy,
When DL passes away, numerous clubs will want to carry out their own autopsy’s just to make sure
He was a 17/18 year old playing for bayern. Did you expect him to be starting most games? If you come on in the 70th minute for Bayern, the chances are you’re ahead.
But in any case, of his 16 goals:
8 were meaningless goals in thrashings
8 gave Bayern the lead, equalised, or were decisive
As a teenager.
Not sure you can infer what you want from that.
Yeah I don't have any particular criticism of Tel's time at Bayern. He was a promising kid, and it's understandable that he wanted to leave for more playing time. I was excited to get a look at him.
And then we got a good long look at him, and I, ignorant rube on the internet, really just did not see it.
I would have thanked him for his service and looked elsewhere.
I share skepticism of Lange, but there is just no comparison with Hitchen. Hitchen DESTROYED our squad, it is astonishing how utterly non-functional the players he signed were.
Kevin Danso is a better Sanchez and cost half the money in a heavily inflated market.
I can’t name many teenagers who would have come into that team and looked like a star.
He did show confidence, character and fight though. As a teenager.
I can’t wait to see him woth some proper coaching. I’m not saying he will be a success but nobody can draw strong conclusions about Tel from the last 5 months of the season.

Graeme Bailey special. Certainly BS now
I can name one. Lucas Bergvall.
We will see. Tel will play a lot this season, he's going to get his opportunity.
What u talking about? I don't like people challenging me? He called me sad, what kind of challenge is that?
As for the nationality.....he was being very arrogant and judgemental, as the French typically are. Im sicilian BTW so feel free to call me what u want, I dont take myself that seriously.
I tagged you because all you do is spend time calling people out thinking you know better. Ur like the local community support officer on here.
If you don't like what you see or read from me block me.

There were people in November unironically saying he needed a loan after Galatasaray. He didn’t light up the league in his first five months.
But yes - we will see!
I don't disagree, but what Levy likes about Frank is what he did with relative unknown's, youths and cheap buys at Brentford.
This should have been fucking obvious to anyone.
We are not spending seventy million on any player, not one.
Lange was hired (he says this on his interview on Spurs TV (i think in January 2025) that his remit is to look for young players with potential. You look at Gray, Bergvall, Kinsky, Takai, Udogie, Spence, Micky, Vuskovic, Kulu, Devine, Sarr, Tel, Scarlett, Moore, Yang, and Lankshear and you have SIXTEEN players barely old enough to buy a pint.
This is where Levy has driven the club unchecked, and it will be interesting to see what influence to change Vinai and Paratici has on changing his mindset over the next few weeks.
We better get used to this because it's the future of where Levy wants to take this club.
Levy didn't set a date on the bullshit and bluster he stated over winning the PL and CL, just an ambition, and one that he thinks can be achieved by bringing in youth and a manager whom he thinks can develop a young squad into a winning one.
Whether any of us agree with this is another thing, but the days of creating a young vibrant team of the past like Fergie did, are long gone. Far too much money in the game now to give most of the chasing pack of managers time to develop anything.
I think our cheap alternative that time was Fazio?
Remember him, lol
Fazio was a good player so long as he was playing tactics totally different than Poch's.I think our cheap alternative that time was Fazio?
Remember him, lol
Had Sean Dyche gotten a hold of him he'd have been a terror.
Don't hate this, but would much rather found him a loan in the more competitive French or German leagues.
