Yet another depressing article. I think Spurs still have a lot to play for this season, so will not be getting involved anymore in any of these depressing articles.

Doesn't hold a candle to some of the stuff you were writing whilst poch was still here tbf

It's all going great under Jose now though. How can anyone be concerned with our current plight?

Anyone think there will be a blockbuster deal done in the Prem this month ??? Wouldn't be shocked if Chelsea got Zaha and United threw silly money at Leicester for Maddison
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Depends if you consider Ashley young going to inter a blockbuster deal

Maddison isnt going anytime soon

Facts are.... We are rubbish, LT injuries to key players, difficult window to do business in, Uncommitted free agents to-be, no young players coming through, a potentially toxic manager and a cheap chairman...... I'm defo worried

Yeah... it's hard to think of a single aspect of the team which is promising at the moment. Better players are either injured, ageing or want out. Committed players are largely not good enough. Manager won't promote youth even if there were any youth worth promoting.

Shiny stadium, though

Oh, and to answer your OP - no.

Grealish > Lo Celso
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Should have snapped him up when he was heavily linked, what happened back then did levy pull out of a deal or did villa say no to the proposed fee?

Levy tried to low ball them as they were in financial difficulties, they then got a massive cash injection and told him to go fack himself

Think levy was waiting till villa got really desperate as the was in financial trouble and just as we was about to agree villa got bought by someone paid the debts and refused to sell

IIRC Villa were going through financial problems so we were gonna get him for a price levy was happy with but they got taken over and the new owners wanted more

He waved goodbye to the fans and everything at one point

Hope those 3 explanations cover that for you kneerash

I doubt he would leave mid-season anyway.

Though i suspect they will go down and i would imagine United would be interested as well.

Would have rather signed Grealish that window than either GLC or NDombele this past summer

Ndombele will be an infinitely better player than Grealish ever well. I'd say Lo Celso will too, to be fair.

Trouble is Mourinho simply isn't the manager to develop them. He wouldn't be for Grealish either.

You’ll sign Fellaini and that will probably be all

Based on what ?.... Flashy foreign sirname.. both our 2 have been bang average while Grealish is playing outta his mind trying to keep a poor Villa team up

NDombele looks like he has a very dodgy attitude and historically has had weight and fitness issues..... Can have all the talent in the world but its wasted if you are not professional

Why does Ndombele have a bad attitude?

I don't think either has been average, when you consider they're both young and in a new country, and in a team that's been through some ridiculous upheaval with the new manager and off-field issues, not to mention the impact their injuries have had.

Ndombele has shown flashes of insane ability, the likes of which he showed at Lyon, which is several steps above the level I think Grealish can reach. Grealish is decent, don't get me wrong, but I think Ndombele will become an absolute superstar in the right team. Granted, he's clearly not fit enough yet, and that's a legitimate issue he needs to sort. Whether that goes to his attitude, I can't say.

Lo Celso is clearly very talented, but his season has been so badly disrupted thus far. He looked decent under Pochettino but he's not had much chance to impress under Mourinho, and frankly I don't think even a prime Yaya Toure would look good in this current side with how Mourinho wants the midfield to be bypassed.

Based on his prior exploits I think Lo Celso has more talent than Grealish. But it's all moot, really, since no midfielder will flourish in Mourinho's current setup.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't buy this at all.

His midfield was strong at Porto, Chelsea, Inter and Real.

United's squad is a joke and Spurs midfield is in tatters. He needs to make signings.

Ndombele grealish and lo celso are all very good

That's because Pochettino was totally hopeless at the end. I shall not mourn his leaving. Best thing that could have happened. The club can now move forward.

sounds like a lot of excuses

Grealish doing well and good player but fack me, just cause we missed out on him and hes playing well shining in a side struggling near the bottom people are jumping on him as prime Iniesta

United's midfield was garbage when he got there, but he signed midfielders while he was there, using all United's infinite resources and pulling power.

Fred - gash.
Mhkitaryan - gash.
Pogba - largely gash.
Matic - gash.

He paid an absolute fortune for these players too.

What I'm getting at is that I don't rate Mourinho AT ALL. Yes, he had good midfields at Chelsea, Inter and Real... but he left Real over 6 years ago. That's a long time in football. And he left them under a huge cloud over, among other things, the team's style of play. Inter were also a defensive, turgid anti-football side.

To be honest I'd say that the only side he's managed which has played good football through the midfield was his first Chelsea side, and he left Chelsea the first time almost 13 years ago. There's been no sign since that he's a manager who will develop talented, technical midfielders. If anything, as time has progressed he seems to have moved further and further away from that style.
