Has done nothing yet to even be considered world class....
If he goes Real Madrid he has a chance to prove himself world class and will have a hell of a lot of pressure to justify such a crazy fee.
i hope he has the balls to what is ahead of him in such a move otherwise he could very well just crash and burn.
Crash and burn? You lot crack me up ;).
Ok i'm biting, explain to me why he's world class?
He's a very good player who's won the sum total of fuck all, granted he's had a couple of good seasons but that doesn't make him world class.
You're also talking about a player who struggled at the start of his spurs career and was nearly shown the door back to the championship. Was it 24 games he played without winning one?
He looks great in our fast paced league, however he's technically miles away from being 'world class'.
As for the crash and burn comment, i guess he meant that it's a new country with language barriers to overcome and who really knows how he'll settle, bet there's not that many English speakers in the dressing room maybe 5 or 6.
For £85 million i'd snap their hands off he's worth nowhere near that.
