The wrong Fernandes

Page 2 of 3

posted on 1/7/20

Don, I wouldn't get to carried away with the Fernandes at United, if he can do if against decent opposition then fair enough, but United couldn't have hand picked their last few matches, absolute gimmes.

Although Pochettino led Spurs to a 3-0 defeat to that awful Brighton side.

Gedson Fernandes is poor, you should be delighted that’s not a permanent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

He has had so little game time to call him poor, certainly less than Ndombele, who a lot of our supporters think is the second coming.

Don ...it was well known at the time Levy made the cheaper choice of Gedson Fernandes, that he was buying the wrong Fernandes.
As always with Levy its about the money.
The man is a bald headed idiot.
As you saw in today's match with Brighton, ManU got just the guy we needed to operate behind Kane and Son.
Just imagine a midfield that had Bruno Fernandes, Lo Chelso, NDombele and perhaps Alli!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Ndombele.

You literally said Uniteds last few games were a gimme which included playing us

Laugh you may.... NDombele may not play for Tottenham....for all the wrong reasons ...
but....
he is going to play for France .....
and they are the World Champions.

Your favorite manager bought him for a record price ...
remember that, Sandy!

You are comparing players at totally different ages.
Bruno wasnt great at this kids age. He kinda flopped at Sampdoria and had little to no interest from clubs for a few windows til his united move.

He suits them perfectly but that isn't to say he wouldn't have struggled at spurs. Football doesn't work like that.
Jose would probably have him as a dm 😅

That’s not really my point mate. My point is we were interested in Fernandes and had been for ages. Another player that Levy refuses to pay the asking price, meaning we for 2nd or 3rd choice. Happened on so many occasions.

Tbh I totally agree with your point I just think there's no guarantees he would light up spurs team like he has united.

Jose and levy make it hard for me to enjoy spurs games atm. Just thought knowing it's likely Jose would've stifled him and he probably wouldn't perform like he is might be some form of comfort

Doubt it as they are from the same country. Bruno is clearly a winner and so is King Jose. Did you see them embrace after the Man Utd game?

Bruno works for the team and tracks back unlike the lard a$$ we brought from the farmer's league.

Of course. We just don’t know if he would of set the Prem on fire like he has for United, but just annoys me that we tend to always go for 2nd/3rd options. It shows in the end with our ridiculously poor trophy record under this regime. The truly big clubs don’t mess around and usually get the players they need. We got a 65 mil pound flop in Ndombele, whilst United have a 65 mil star that has completely transformed their midfield. Our scouting network is horrendous.

Gedson Fernandes coming to Spurs was a simple favour between best buds Mou and Mendes. Somewhere to park him whilst Mendes decides what to do with him. He's also lightweight and bang average from what I've seen so far. Bruno Fernandes would have been a massive upgrade on Dele same as Dybala ah well
----------------------------------------------------------------------
would have been massive upgrades. don't really see how Dele fits in at spurs any more tbh

Have to agree mate. He’s been poor for 2 seasons now.

as we dont have midfielders who can play as a midfield 2 and control it then Dele is pretty surplus to requirements as he can only play running off Kane

It's ridiculous it should be like that because his best far exceeds Lamela's. Sadly I agree though, he's gone backwards.

He'll get some game time between now and the end of the season and he needs to perform. If he doesn't then I wouldn't be all too bothered if we sold him for big money, and reinvested.

over the last 18 months is the first time i have started to question Levy... a string of poor poor decisions for the first time in his tenure (imo). started off with the poor poor decision to sell dembele in jan with no replacement (with tielemans on the market).

then there was the awful decision to do the amazon documentary. poch -> jose.. also questionable. and then some poor decisions in the transfer market (Stevie B aside)
