Dos Santos

The Tottenham lad is looking dangerous for Mexico down the right-hand side. He's behind Lennon and Bentley in the pecking order at Spurs. They loaned him out to Ipswich last season where he scored 4 goals in 8 appearances. He also went to Galatasaray with a view to a permanent move. He's only 21. He was highly-rated at Barcelona before making the move to North London.

Maybe an option on a cut-price deal or as a loan signing to offer us pace and guile down the right?

the wobbly necked turkey skinned tossbag wouldn't sell to us, as we are threat to them.

 

[ijjysmith]

Said we should have a look at him when England played Mexico. He doesn't seem to get a look in at Spuds. Wonder how much he'd be.

Plus Pienaar is not looking great!

 

[Alio]

ha, I've just said the same thing on the other thread....always rated him since Barca. He looks like a younger (7 years younger) version of Pienaar. Shame he will now cost 10m more after todays game.....probably, grrr

 

[billycopper]

Spurs paid £4.7 million for him. You'd imagine that he has to be worth less than that now, as he's barely featured for them in 2 years. According to a Galatasaray message board the buyout in his contract is 8m euro. When has a buyout ever meant anything though? You wouldn't expect him to be worth more than a couple of million.

I don't rate him at all. He'd infuriate me if he was at us. He thinks he's better than he is, wastes far too much possession with ridiculous efforts on goal.

 

[Alio]

yeah can imagine he's not always as good as he's been....but so far, (yes its only been 45 mins) he's been the best player by a country mile

 

[billycopper]

We've come up with about 4 wingers recently (De Guizman, Suljeman, Elia and Dos Santos) who could well be affordable and available and who would hopefully offer us the pace and directness that we're missing from midfield. They must surely just be the tip of the iceberg. Fingers crossed we'll have someone like that at the club by the end of the summer.

Would be the correct answer. Even the Mexicans aren't over enthused with him no more, he hasn't developed into the player he could have, the bad girls barneted tit.

 

[Goat]

Hes like McFadden with girly hair.

He would make me fume so much.

 

[00Mike26]

Has looked fantastic in that first half, a cut above everyone else on the pitch, was just thinking the same thing.

I like Tshabalala too, but I'm not sure if that's just for his name...

Edit: Definitely fancy Tshabalala now, he's just rammed home a beauty.

 

[Summerskin]

He looks energetic and lively as ought.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Surprised by the superlatives being used, a chance some have been blinded by the co commentator who has been waxing lyrical over him?

What has he actually done against the mighty South Africa to deserve the type of praise being branded about?

A bit direct? yeah, Lively? maybe... fantastic? No.

He'll probably slam one in from 30 yards now, but he has never convinced me.

 

[Alio]

really? don't think anyone is saying he's Pele, but other than the dude who just scored a ripper, he's been the only thing creative for mexico

In a grim first half, I don't think anyone deserved to be called "fantastic", "dangerous", "best player by a country mile", and "a cut above everyone else on the pitch".

You'd swear he at least had a shot on goal or actually did something instrumental...

Perspective lads!
