Never. If you're Tottenham, you're Tottenham.
Blakey, any thoughts ?I don’t understand why any Spurs fan wouldn’t want a player to succeed, but I’m sure there’s some on here that hoped a player failed so they could say they we’re right about him.
So, who is man (or woman) enough to admit they hoped a former or current player was a bust?

If a player signs for Spurs, even if you don’t like him and/or rate him, everyone at the very least deserves a chance to show what they can do.

Me too didn’t want to like him but ending up wanting him to stay longer.Bullseye!
Gallas won me over.... Was a personal cult fave by the time he left.
That's the other (older) thread you're talking about. LINKI thought this thread was just asking which players were a disappointment after we signed them, when we had such
high expectations.
You're joking, right?That's the other (older) thread you're talking about. LINK
This new thread is the opposite of that - not entirely sure of the point of it, but I'l have a go.
I've been thinking hard, but can't get past Martin Chivers. I know he did well for us, but I just never liked watching his lolloping, effortlessness. I found him dull and stable. I much prefer shorter, zippier, more 'dramatic' players.
Also, I never liked that old weasel, Alan Gilzean. I know he also scored goals, and was good with his head, but as a kid it seemed to me he always just hung around in a sneaky way, waiting for sneakly opportunities. Bit of a selfish player imho. Probably wrong on both counts, but that's life.
Other than that, I struggle to dislike anyone.
I've just now re-read the thread title and realised my mistake.....oops!
I can't be bothered edting the previous post because the sentiments are true.
I will say this though, why would anyone want a player to fail, when they are playing for us? Sheer, utter madness!
