And the ticket prices are as if we have a squad of world beaters.

Player Wilson Odobert
- Thread starter GGTH
- Start date
Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
His highlight videos, and I don’t want to cause hyperbole, because this is strictly a stylistic comparison - came off to me as being a bit of Michael Olise when he first got to Palace mixed with a bit of Raheem Sterling at Liverpool.
Great talents find themselves on teams that get relegated all the time, especially in this era of the prem.
Also I’m not sure if people are fully aware of Odobert’s pedigree. He’s a PSG youth product, went to Troyes on his own volition became he wanted to play. (Sounds like when Olise left Chelsea, then City and went to Reading).
Troyes are part of the City Group, and Odobert would likely be on the Savinho development pathway for them if Kompany hadn’t requested him at Burnley. City Group let Odobert go as a favour to Kompany.
However, Kompany getting poached by Bayern has left Odobert essentially unprotected and we’ve taken advantage.
Different wingers and they can play together even swapping positions in the same game. This is not an either/or situation.The only downside of this is I think his skillset kind of overlaps with Moore’s, who is our best prospect. Unsure how we’ll handle their minutes. Maybe move Mikey central long term?
I can even imagine a Moore-Yang-Odobert trio dovetailing behind Lankshear one day.
Yes. USA need some decent players.
Too old
Might happen if they stop shooting all their promising students.
And the highest paid football CEO in the world, ever, as well as the tallest hotel
I can't in good conscience listen to a bloke with half a muffin for a haircut.
It's a long-term project that Ange started, not a "win next season" one. For a long-term project these are exactly the types of players and age profile you want. Ones that may not be automatic starters now, but can be by the end of the season or the start of next season.
That’s a fucking stupid offer
25% off the first NFL game and we are in business
This is a great point. Both Munn and Ange came from City Football Group clubs too and there was talk Munn brought access to their scouting and analysis data models with him. There’s a decent chance both of them have known about Odobert for some time.
Just like with Kevin Bacon theory, there is a maximum of five levels of separation between every person in world football and the City Group
if you got sacked from your job for telling the management that you needed support to do your job properly- would you remain eternally loyal to them?
The guy was the best manager we've had since the 80's, brandishing him a turncoat seems harsh IMO

I thought he was balancing a kitten on his head
Best manager since the 80’s? WTAF are you banging on about? He blew it repeatedly with the most talented Spurs squad of my lifetime.
what are you - ten?
whether he failed to meet your lofty standards or win any silverware, or not - IMO he produced the best team and best footballing side at the club since the 80's
Back then, the game was a level playing field, and we won things.
since then stupendously rich people and massively cash rich owners have taken over clubs and made winning anything almost impossible outside of 3-4 teams with that spending power.
Our owners don't prioritise the money the club makes on investing in the team the way the fans want, they run it as a business for their shareholders.
Try thinking before you post
The only time he blew it was the CL final. All the other times it was the players and management that let him down.
