Definitely interesting option . Not seen loads, but Strong, powerful dribbler, end product can improve but is ok in limited minutes so far this season, works hard off the ball too. Fits that inverted left (right footed).

Jut watched the YouTube video of Diomande.
Just like I said when I heard about Xavi and watched his video... same reaction:
I don't see it?
How is this guy going to help us? What does he provide? He looks like another Tel, Odobert, Xavi.
I was hoping the club have burned all Levy transfer lists and started on a clean sheet. We are in trouble if this is the type of players we still look at.

We’re still probably paying for or have just stopped paying for N’dombele. Get off your high horse mate.
id take semenyo, but we need actual footballers, we lack intelligence and technical quality in the side badly.Jut watched the YouTube video of Diomande.

Will he be allowed freedom to do what he does best under Frank though.He's only 19 and has only had about 700 minutes in BL, and I've not seen loads of them, but I'd say much better/more powerful dribbler/1v1 than Tel, nothing like Xavi who operates in more central zones. Very much in the Semenyo mould, but rawer.
Obviously, context is one is PL the other is 700 mins in BL but this shows they are similar types:

This is why I’d rather we went for Ndiaye. Not saying I don’t like Semenyo, but like Kudus, he’s very hot and cold, he’s not got a goal or assist in his last 6 games.id take semenyo, but we need actual footballers, we lack intelligence and technical quality in the side badly.
Ndiaye seems gettable- Semenyo not as much.This is why I’d rather we went for Ndiaye. Not saying I don’t like Semenyo, but like Kudus, he’s very hot and cold, he’s not got a goal or assist in his last 6 games.
Ndiaye I think has that bit of magic that he could produce at any time, and he also presses like a demon, he’s #2 in the league behind Elliot Anderson for most interceptions won so far this season.
It's beyond naive to deny that in the current standing of world football that they are.
ok
And when he gets in a cross, there's usually no-one in the box as we aren't blessed with a striker who stays up front to get on the end of things (Richarlison always looks like he's in the wrong place for crosses), on a box-to-box mid to arrive late. Seen loads of crosses go in to no-one.Please please please sign a wide left forward that can actually play a bit.
Kudus is having to beat 3 players to get a cross in at times
Who?
Manchester City are a more successful and richer club but with a short history of being so. and a small amount of supporters relative to their success.Not arguing with any of that.
I'm just arguing with Man City being considered the bigger club. Especially by our own fans.
In 50 years their owners may have come and gone and they could be a yo-yo club again and find their natural place in the food chain.... once again bouncing between the top two divisions.
Like I said. Neville nails it. "Tottenham is a Bigger club than Manchester City, let's be really clear"

I'd describe them as an inflated club, if there present ownership decides to sell up, they may need to start selling players to reduce the wage bill, and quickly begin to deflate.
To summarise: Cunts
Bigger is subjective but bigger doesn’t mean successful. If United were in league 2 and Rotherland won the CL would Rotherham be bigger? That’s extreme but the way I look at bigger is if you had a 100k stadium could you fill it with fans at normal prices. That is what big is in my view.
This is all very nice, and it can keep us Spurs fans all warm and cozy at night, but this particular discussion is in the TW thread and stems from someone pointing out that a specific player will have bigger clubs chasing him making us unlikely to sign him, the context of big club here is who a player is more likely to sign for, and so in this context they are bigger.Manchester City are a more successful and richer club but with a short history of being so. and a small amount of supporters relative to their success.
