Topic: Spurs: fucking useless

[classycarra]

He's got a two year contract!

It's like he's temping so he doesn't need to move house, while he waits for the merry go round and for his agent to find him a better job in the next year

[Dim Glas]

Two-year deal. Not exactly a vote of confidence.

once bitten and all that!

[zimmie'5555]

Bit shit for Spurs really, hardly an inspirational appointment. Wouldn't be surprised if they're looking again this time next year.

that may be their intention.

This has been a complete clusterfuck for them, Nuno is a long way down the list of who they thought they’d be able to get. But he’s someone who knows the league and probably a safe pair of hands as it where.   

IF he does great, then fantastic, but he’s on a pretty short contract for a reason and will be replaced sharpish if a better target becomes available.

From all the whispers I think it's that he's not an inspirational appointment that is the biggest plus for Levy.  Their plan seems to be about making sure the ship holds water and paying down some of the debt.  That they appointed Mourinho suggests they were intending to gun for the trophies but maybe the pandemic and the death of FFP has made them re-think that.

I don't see Levy sacking him no matter what the fans think, just so long as he plays along with sell-to-buy.

Seems about right, there comes a point where they have to appoint somebody I suppose and Nuno is a big enough name to save a little face in the short term.

[rossipersempre]

Well frankly it was him or Klinsmann as the only two options left who hadn’t quickly distanced themselves from the job.

Prediction…the boyhood Gooner mouth breather will have forced a move to City in August, and you just know that a big chunk of that money will disappear to pay down some of the stadium debt, whilst signing another Lamela/Bergwijn type for a huge fee. Son will finally grow some ambition and push for a move in January and Spurs will again tread water and constantly battle for mediocrity under Nuno.

This is their lot in life, endless Spur-gatory (*coat already donned, sorry*)

Traore and Jimenez in for the Kane money

[slaphead]

If Levy comes out and says they got the manager they wanted you have to give it to him, the man has some balls.

[PeterTheRed ...]

It will be interesting to see how Levy and Mendes will get along. This could be interesting ...

Maybe he's hoping Real Madrid come in for him next season? 

[Romford_Red]

It's like the Everton and Tottenham job offers got mixed up in the post and now Rafa and Nuno are just sort of carrying on like that dude who got mistakenly interviewed by the BBC live on the news, rather than for an accountants job.

[Drinks Sangria]

Well they just spent over a year in close connection via Mourinho. They can't have gotten along that poorly otherwise another Mendes client would never have been an option.

If you're getting into bed with Nuno you're getting into bed with Mendes.  Can't see Kane hanging around for this which means money for Mendes to spend(take).

[John C]

This is their lot in life, endless Spur-gatory (*coat already donned, sorry*)

They've actually had a very good 10 or 12 years, but you're right now. They will revert to what they always were despite me having huge respect for Nuno.

Their run started when one of the Walshys on here predicted Spurs and City won't ever finish above us. Fucking jinx

[Jono69]

He doesn't have a choice !!

[Flaccido Dongingo]

It's a shame Son is almost 29, he'd have been ideal for the Reds.

[[new username under construction]]

phenomenally uninspiring appointment really, you'd think a few player would want out

[El Lobo]

It's a shame Son is almost 29, he'd have been ideal for the Reds.

Well sort of, but if he was 24 or something he'd be spoken about as potentially one of the most expensive signings in world football

[Drinks Sangria]

People keep saying 'deal with the devil etc' about Mendes and Spurs - he's already been rooted in the club for over a year now, he's Mourinho's agent also and already managed to get massive contracts for Vinicius and Gedson despite them being useless once they were here. This isn't some new surprise that is occurring due to Nuno being hired.

Talk that Mendes will manoeuvre Renato Sanches into Spurs as a marquee signing. Would be a good signing but his injury record is questionable.

[redk84]

I think it's a good appointment actually...
Decent manager, decent team , would have considered him before a few of the others

[sinnermichael]

Have the media dragged Harry Redknapp out to give his opinion on this appointment yet? He thinks spurs can win the league every season.

[gerrardisgod]

Alderweireld the latest to tell them he wants out.

[rossipersempre]

Alderweireld the latest to tell them he wants out.

Won't be the last. He nearly escaped before didn't he before Levy recaptured him with the 'lure' of Mourinho?

Next up Son if he grows some sort of spine. Then there's Dele Alli who seems to have discovered a hitherto-unseen work ethic too, obviously looking for other suitors if his come and get me pleas to Poch falls on deaf ears.

It's all going spectacularly well down there in N17. The phrase 'house of cards' springs to mind.

Honestly I'd 100% have Deli Alli here and use him in the Firmino role. I think he'd be fantastic under Klopp and he'd get to fulfil his childhood dreams.

Going to be a rebuild.

Of that squad that consistantly got them CL, but ultimately won nothing - Vertonghen, Eriksen, Dembele, Trippier, Walker and Rose have already left.  Now Alderweireld is leaving, Kane wants out. The likes of Loris and Lamela have a year left on their deals so also could be out soon. Only Son, Ali and Dier have long term deals of that group.  The players brought in over the last 2 or 3 years have been very hit and miss, with really no huge successes as of yet.

Delusional. Once upon a time sure, but he's damaged goods in every sense.

[Dull Tools]

Depending on the price he is definitely worth a punt. The talent is there and he maybe just needs a change of scenery. Getting out of London may help. Stranger things have happened.

Everton type signing.

Shouldn't have signed a new contract then

[DelTrotter]

Even the crap wants to leave  damn.

[BarryCrocker]

80k per week and 2 years to go. Club would be silly to let him go.

[Drinks Sangria]

Disagree entirely. He's lost his way, but he's still only just 25, has 2 elite seasons under his belt in the past, is mobile, tall, strong and technically decent. He went off the boil under Pochettino towards the end, but Mourinho used him as his scapegoat as he does at every club - see Shaw at Utd - and I think given a new challenge and some direction, there's still an excellent player there.

Last year he only got 15 games and was poor, granted. The season before, 16 G+A in 35 matches, the one before that, 11 in 35, the season before that, 21 in 36 and his best season was the one prior, where he got 29 G+A in 42. It perhaps points to a decline, I think given Spurs' own decline in that time, it's more of a loss of form. He can recover, he just needs the right environment. He's had one truly bad season and he's been written off as 'damaged goods.' Why exactly?

[Ghost Town]

Comes across as a bit of a twat, though, so not sure he'd fit well into a Klopp squad

[Dull Tools]

Amazing to think that these were very close to signing Grealish the season we won the Champions League. The only reason he didn't sign was that the club was bought out in the middle of the Summer and the new owners pulled the plug on the deal.

And most people thought hed be a waste of money, hes come a long way since then

Apparently he was a bit of a c*nt when in Milton Keynes.
He may have grown up , but I don't think he passed klopps personality test.

[PaulF]

If Harry says they look good for a top four challenge this season, then you know what he thinks of Nunez!

[RedSince86]

They are going back to the Spurs of my Youth that i remember so fondly, mid table mediocrity.

At least the have the biggest cheesiest ponging cheese room in World football.
