Let go too soon!

We all know of players who have been let go way too soon by their clubs.

Jimmy Greaves is one at Spurs, but for me the one we should have hung onto was Glenn Hoddle, he was amazing at Monaco. Look at this video of him there.

Excellent player.

Some of that link up play reminds of Firmino

Firmino

Hoddle was several classes above at his best.

Jeez, calm down. I only said some of the link up play reminded me of Firmino. We're not all a hundred years old. I only remember Hoddle at Chelsea and very little at Swindon. He looks real quality on that video.

Bale,VDV, Dempsey, Crouch,Defoe,Berbatov ,Carrick,David's to name a few.

Admittedly some of them wanted to go but we should have stood out ground.

Just pointing out there is no comparison.

And I was just saying that I wasn't comparing. I couldnt even if I wanted to as I never saw Hoddle in his prime.

Pat Jennings, he should never have been let go and it was criminal how he was treated, and he only joined The Filth to spite the Clowns in charge of Spurs

What about Gazza? He was only with you lot for 2 seasons wasn't he?

Fabregas. Great player. Several classes about Ozil who Wenger inexplicably chose instead of him when Cesc left Barca.

As for Hoddle terrifically balanced player who was more suited to a slower paced game like Serie A. Similar to Le Tissier in talent although i preferred Le Tiss who was more consistent and scored far more goals. Both criminally overlooked by various England managers.

I remember being embarassed when Gooners used to sing that song about Rix being better than Hoddle when he clearly wasn't
