From what the fans say im happy.. great player... just a loan so worth a punt.. obvs better skill wise than we could get if he wasnt a dick
We got a good couple of half seasons out of HBA. He looks like the same type of show pony but could be good for the short term
I remember Bentaleb scoring against us in the Coke cup for Spurs. I was the goal that effectively got Jak Alnwick thrown out of the club, he'd played well when he came on as a sub against Chelsea and helped us win, then early in the game Alnwick went for a cross and caught in the inexplicably butter-fingered it straight to Bentaleb who just prodded it straight in. Apart from that he was hardly a key player for them (that was his only ever goal for them), scoring more regularly for Schalke, but with a reputation as twat too apparently. Not expecting much. Looks like a done deal though.
I think your next Alias should be Gypsy Lee Captain, or perhaps Mystic Meg. Or perhaps you've just got gout.
Sorry im going from whats spurs fans are saying about him and the foolish use of youtube, but Im 100% certain hes better than 90% of our squad
If he was any good surely Spurs would've kept him? We don't seem to have any decent targets right now, just other teams trying to pimp their discards to us on loan.
I recommend you see what every spurs fan is saying. Its his attitude mate.... i would suggest hes better than anyone in our side from what they say .. even his vids show hes got real skill
I posted an example on here Also twitter On news now a link to them all saying Top player, baller and on and on. I think we have to take that as a good sign.. spurs have had some very good players over the last 10 years Also look at the crap weve got . Good loan see if he has grown up. Obvs he can play
You said "Spurs fan tells me he's one of the best they've produced", if that's true then it seems very odd that they let him go, and even odder that Schalke are throwing out on loan in what should be the peak of his career. When goals are our main problem, a player who got 1 goal in 66 games for Spurs doesn't seem like the solution.
He had a fall out ... how many times mate lol. Its his attitude.. Mate theyre all saying it...ALL of them Hes not a striker.... so that stat means nothing . Ill go as far as guaranteeing he is a better cm player than we have by a country mile, but if hes lazy and causes issues we can send him packing. We will soon find out.
Doubt it , but despite all the negativity on here I'm encouraged from what the fans of spurs are saying and his highlight reel.. he can do things none of our current cm players can do. Worth giving him a chance ... he might have learned his lesson.. ... i get the impression he would walk in our side ... not all spurs fans can be wrong... even saying they want him. Lets not forget shalke would roast nufc and he wasnt dropped for performance...
