Alistair Gold was saying how impressed everyone was with Veliz’s finishing after the first few weeks. Let’s not exaggerate . It hasn’t worked but he’s not Ali Dia.

There were reports with staff being underwhelmed by his ability very early on

I’ve no reason to start lying on the internet …. I’ve no agenda against the player personally

He then went out on loan where he didn’t get a look in and now he’s being sent home

So it’s fairly evident there was some truth in those commentaries

Sending him to La Liga onto a totally shit team was a horrible idea- he needed more time in champo with a real progressive tactics manager.

He prob left Argentina a season or two too early as well.

I just never understood this fucking transfer at all. It’s not like he was some potential uber starlet, he was just your common as muck, big lump no.9 with absolutely zero special about him. There’s thousands of them in England. Dozens in our academy for free. Why go to South America, pay a few million and waste a non HG spot potentially?

Just nuts.

Is it cynical to suggest that Levy was perhaps trying a bit too hard to procure more Argentine talent in order to continue maximizing on the Argentina-Spurs connection?

Maybe it was the best we could do ? Reasonable to suggest there weren’t too many takers and sending him to a Spanish team might’ve helped him settle… they were ‘a shit team’ yet still not getting game time is hardly auspicious

It does appear he just isn’t good enough … happens more often than not

What’s strange was paying so much money for him

Edit
I’m taking Mbuemo out and swapping in Semenyo, not just because Mbuemo looks ManU bound, but because I think there’s more potential upside with Semenyo. His underlying XG/XA are very similar to Mbuemo, and unlike Mbuemo, Semenyo is not a pen taker. Semenyo is two footed, better 1v1 and works his nuts off without the ball. Needs to improve his actual output, but that is doable with his skill set.

I’ll stick Simons on the list too as he’s good and we’ve been linked.

6/8/DP
Baleba/Stiller/ Bischof /MGW / Andre?/ Bouaddi/ Camara?

Attack
Mintheh/ Mitoma / Eze / Cherki/Akliouche/Semenyo/Ekitike/Mikautadze/Sancho/Fofana (Lyon)/Simons
