AG played at RB.
I've seen him play for Leeds and he was promising. I've seen him play a few games for Spurs, mostly in midfield and he was ok but without making any great impression.
Yesterday he was woeful. Terrible in possession, like a rabbit in the headlights and physically weak and was knocked off the ball by that heavyweight Trossard.
Your dream right hand side of Gray and Dibling would give me nightmares and have the opposition licking their lips
I'd say that when you saw Gray at Leeds and thought he was "promising" and then saw him in midfield for Spurs and thought he was "ok" then thats absolutely fine for an 18 and then a 19 year old.
I'm not saying younger players would get us up the league, quite the opposite. Ive been posting that signing the likes of
Dibling and for example Gray would see us drop places in the short term.
I also see that Gray and
Dibling would only be able to be initially used together sparingly while both are developed. Its more of a long term plan and even then i think Dibling would have moved into the 10 role by then.
Spurs fans think highly of him. I’d imagine they’re the best judge of the quality of him. He had a bad game, every teenager does from time to time.
This is kind of all moot as he won’t be going anywhere unless spurs go down (highly unlikely), and even then he’d be so far down the list of priorities of spurs trimming the fat that he’d probably still be there next season.
Agreed.
Agree, its more the point of posters like Zat who are on the other side of the world and think they know more than fans who watch these youngsters week in and week out.
I picked out ONE player from Southampton and ONE player from Sunderland last season as the two players i wanted us to sign last summer above others.
When I did that I dont think i went into my thoughts on any other Southampton or Sunderland players aside from perhaps Dan Neil - who is now in the championship.
Remind me, did you think Dan Neil would have made a good Everton midfielder (as we were linked) or that Sunderland would bin him off to the championship? What did their fans think?
I’d be surprised if we went back in for Delap tbh.
He’s no better than what we have.
Moyes really wanted him last summer.
Its incredibly rare that he goes to the media and actually names players he wants to sign.
The last time he did it may have been when he said we should let Baines and Fellaini go for the good of their careers...
