a curse on alan sugar. he's the one who sucked all the ambition out of the club. It's taken us years to get back to where we belong among the big teams in the country. that's why I like levy.
 

Bryan Gil will go down as an absolute waster for many Spurs fans I'm sure, but for me there's absolutely a good footballer in there.

He didn't have the physical attributes to ever hit the ground running in England, nor seemingly did he have the grit to compensate for that initial culture shock.

But if he'd gone to a club that would have afforded him the time and patience to adapt to things, he could have become a top player.

In retrospect, the dumbest thing we did with him (beyond parting with £20m+ and Lamela to sign him) is pack him off on loans back to Spain, he should have been sent out to either a lower half Prem side or a top half Championship side, like Luka Modric being toughened up in the Bosnian league.

The optimism in that window that he came in was pretty high. Seems we signed Lo Celso and Sess too. Shame none of them really worked out
