Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He looks very raw and lightweight and he is just 20 years old. I honestly think he’s much closer to Argentinian Dibling than he is to Eze

There are young players with potential who are worth buying. But we need a player we can hand the keys to and count on to play 40+ matches as the creative fulcrum… and he’s just not there, in terms of being ready to play right now.
He looked very hard to knock off the ball from the highlights I saw.

Didn’t appear like he’d struggle with the physicality in the prem to me.
 
He's absolutely nothing like Dibling, for one. He has the ability to control a game, make a good pass, great on the ball. When you watch him play, you'd think he was 30. Some players are Rolls Royce's, this kid is one of them.

Why do you think Real are so worried about him going and will make it stupidly hard to get home with no doubt a buy back clause inserted?

I remember people thought Modric was too lightweight, if you have that ability to see something before it happens on the pitch, it doesn't matter. He's so good.

If this guy Paz is anything remotely like Modric...

I think we all see a player and view through less than objective Kensington.

Dibling will be good I think. Whether Everton can bring that out who knows,but again this is because I liked what I saw of him. Means little at times.
 
If Rogers is as good as everyone says and could be a real differnce maker for 6-7 years why don't we just slap down 100m and see what happens? Seems like an easy call for anyone that's not named Levy
 
Our level is because of our ownership.

We are a London club with all the building blocks to be hugely attractive. I genuinely believe this. People call me a gooner etc but the reality is that I can see a club which has potential to be so much more than it it is actually trying to be and that is why I get frustrated, especially when people big up some of the average we have as elite.

Ambitious ownership would absolutely cook here. The room with PSR, the attraction of London, the stadium already in place for the future .. the one thing I will credit the ownership with is they have built a good platform for OTHER owners to take over and deliver actual on the pitch success. The foundations are all there - they just won't pass the mantle on.
Fucking spot on, my brother.

And people who call you a Gooner, I don't even wanna say on here what I think of them...but that couldn't be further away from the truth. You friggin love Tottenham, you bleed lillywhite...I have zero friggin doubt about that. And if more Spurs fans were as real and vocal as you, we'd be in a better place.

I think they’re both alike in that they haven’t got any real experience and are basically just tall lanky kids who are good on the ball.

I’d love to be proven wrong but I don’t see this kid being able to drive us forward at Camp Nou on Wednesday then go again and be central to a comeback at Selhurst Park on Saturday. And that’s the player we need.

Nah, us fans don't need to recalibrate anything. Levy does. If you want to deliver Brighton-level signings, then charge Brighton-level ticket prices.

We play in a £1bn stadium and pay £1600 for our season tickets. We have every right to demand a squad with more established players. If Levy wants us to sit in the stands and watch youngsters learn the game, then he should be charging us 75% less.
Fucking bravo.
