Spurs thread 2020/21

[Pell]

Sad to see a decent keeper deciding they don’t want to play anymore.

I think strong competition will do him good. He went to Torino, West Ham, and Burnley as number one and struggled at all three. His best form for City was when he was in competition with Shay Given, and had a point to prove. His problems have come when he's become complacent. Pellegrini dropped him in the 13/14 title winning season, and he bounced back. Having to fight for a first team place will benefit him.

He’s got dropped at every club he’s been at since, become 2nd or even 3rd choice in some cases. If competition made him better he’d be smashing it by now.

Very surprised Leeds didn’t look into him as he could have been there number one . Good keeper and one of our greats .

What with the Edison bashing?

He has had a very good season, early season he saved us many times from a good hiding.

Brilliant signing, brilliant goalkeeper and he his distribution is magnificent.

I don’t get it, either.

I love Eddie; he’s fucking brilliant in every department of his game.

Admittedly, he gats caught off his line at times, but that’s due to the way Pep wants him to play.

And to criticise his shot stopping is simply ludicrous; he has made some absolutely outstanding saves since he’s been here.

As for his distribution, I have rarely seen any player, let alone a goalkeeper, who can ping very long passes with such accuracy.

He is the best‘keeper I have ever seen.

Footballers are retired for a long time.

They can’t all be pundits, so £2m+ a year of Levi’s money will help his pension pot and living expenses.

I hope he does well.

You have just answered your own question. Brilliant signing, brilliant goalkeeper and his distribution is magnificent. Perhaps sub consciously but your key compliment on his ability was based on his footwork. There is no way he has ever saved us from a good hiding. Joe Hart was significantly better than Ederson at actually saving the ball “1 on 1s” / “reflex” etc etc. Some of his performances (Dortmund,Munich,Barcelona - I.e. big game moments) were genuine world class Emerson simply isn’t anywhere near that level at actual saving the ball and yes, his footwork is great but we play a team now that accentuates this (left back and tiring back drop parallel, centre half makes a triangle allowing us a spare man at all times)

Says it all you are going back 5+ years to find a decent performance from Hart. How about you look at some of the other games, and some truly 'shocking' keeping, shots down to his left seem to come to mind.

He is not good enough and hasn't been for a while which is why he ended up at Burnley and is now 3rd choice at spuds.

PSG don't need him now they've got Icardi mate

Joe was, to all intents and purposes, third choice at Burnley, when both Pope and Heaton were fit, which says it all.

Not with Bielsa as manager. One of the reasons he was moved on was that he wasn't too clever with the ball with at his feet.

Didn’t even cross my mind that mate .

Is there any need for the joe bashing, he was great for us, part of the team of legends that moved us on from losers to winners, ten years at the club, he thought he was here for the rest of his career, being suddenly dumped out and ending up in italy cant have been great, he took it like a man,has never slagged off pep or the club, he has more grace than a lot in this thread

You can have an opinion on his current moves without it being any issue with his city career.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

I would love to know what has go on with Joe Hart.

Great keeper for us, although personally though he was very overrated.

But his fall from grace is dramatic ,something has gone very wrong.

Amongst other things, I am certain that City have an absolute no dickhead policy and we are better for it. For the good of the club and the brand and whatever. Just my view, but Joe Hart stood at the front of the tunnel with the England team waiting to go out to play in the world cup on live itv in the middle of the afternoon on a weekday and just after kids had come home from school about 4pm, and repeatedly swore his tits off right next to a live camera knowing it was flashing on him. He didnt feature much for us after that

 

[Southern]

An injury and he gets the shirt,he can then try and keep it,Lloris is not all that

they have Gazzaniga as second choice so it does look like he has settled for being a reserve. but stranger things have happened

That’s why I used the word was as opposed to is with regards to Joe. However Ederson both was and is below standard at the fundamentals of goalkeeping in my opinion.

I hope you’re joking.

Ederson is outstanding in every department of his game.

He only has to do well in training,i expect he sees this as a challenge rather than just settling

 

[BringBackSwales]

Spurs rumoured to be in for him for TWELVE million according to Sky. Not a position we need someone in but got to be worth a lot more than 12 million?!

 

[citytill1die84]

Ye bagged a few goals / assists and is only 28 seems very cheap especially for a Wolves regular.

FFP maybe hurting them and they're desperate to sell.

 

[decmancity]

Another RB!

Good player, good for fantasy league points as well but Spurs will make him first choice.
