Sissoko was a better signing than Llorente

Sissoko gets a lot of stick but compared to Llorente he was a bargain. I don't know what it is with us and Spanish strikers but it doesn't work. I do feel part of the problem is that we do not play to his strengths and get crossed in early, but he always looks half arced and walks round doing little. I don't know why Llorente gets a free ride from our fans.

Cant believe we are going into another summer transfer window looking for a half decent back up striker. We will probably sign an injury ravaged Sturridge.

Sissoko was decent today, one of our better players among a collection of gash performances, he set up Moura for the equalizer.

Llorente is a good plan B option, the problem is we hardly ever use plan B and play to his strengths. We still need an able back up for Kane with similar attributes this summer.

I think I'd prefer an injury ravaged Sturridge to the Llorente plum.

At the moment I would prefer a faulty training cone compared to Llorente

Agreed but he still is limited op. Need an upgrade on both this summer.

Moura is looking a decent upgrade on NKoudou

I cannot stand Sissoko he played ok today because he is a flat track bully and is up for it. Any premier league side he hides on that pitch. You have to see him live to appreciate his own version of hide and seek. He will point to team mates as he does not want the ball, give very safe passes to whoever is closest and he blocks his body off using the opponent. The bloke is a disgrace.

Llorentes miss today was horrible but everything he does is quality, his passes with son, his positioning is good, suffering from a confidence issue once he gets a goal the pressure will be off. At his age has to play more bring him on in games we are winning and he will be up to speed more. He is not right for this football club but he is a quality player.

Worst signing for me is actually Aurier awful right back,biggest downgrade since we swapped berbatov for fraizer campbell. When you watch him play you can see his pea sized brain work. Easily turned and as rash in decision making as an alcoholic.

Sissoko is a decent squad player to have, he's just got a high price ticket on his head which makes you expect more from him.

He's one of them nearly players, like Jenas, he's strong, athletic, can defend etc but his final ball is p00p.

Llorente is easily the worse player I have seen in a Spurs shirt, and I have seen a few.

I have a season ticket so see Sissoko often, too often. He is not good enough for this team, however I cannot fault his work rate he is always running and is powerful with it. He is bizarre though as he has no technical ability, he can't play more than a 10 yard pass, cant shoot, can't tackle and is awful in the air considering his size.

Llorente for me has been worse than Sissoko because he is technically better but just doesn't work for the team. Although Spurs don't play to his strengths, I would expect an experienced pro like himself to be able to adapt but unfortunately he doesn't. Also his awful misses are racking up now and we look toothless with him up there.

For me the jury's out on Aurier, he is a loose cannon but has great raw attributes, he very much reminds me of the early days of Kyle Walker.
