I think we are at the beggars cant be choosers stage, and signing Spence on the cheap to add a home grown position and cover both full back positions is acceptable at this point.
Could the summer have been done better? Obviously. At this stage though, it would at least add some depth that we are really lacking.
Wasnāt that because Udogie kept on picking up niggly injuries? And then theyāve gone and signed Robertson to offer some more cover that side anyway.
He was an alright fullback in a crap team the past two seasons and seems to have been used rather reluctantly by all but one of the many Spurs managers heās had. Even De Zerbi is saying publicly that heād like him to stay but if he wants to go then he should. Hardly a resounding endorsement.
Iād get it if we were talking under Ā£20m but they apparently want Ā£35m. People are saying thatās āon the cheapā when itās just Ā£5m less than we paid for each of the two starters we brought in at full back last summer.
So Spurs pick up Robertson for free and we pay ~35m for a player that didnāt look good enough for them (let alone us) last season? I know Robbo is aging, and it made sense that he moves on, but Spurs would probably be very happy to have upgraded their FB plus gained cash for other moves.
I just saw that he started 22 games for a dogshit team. Obviously if we sign him Iāll be right behind him and praising him as the next Roberto Carlos
I donāt think they are looking for a starting CB, probably for one to cover. Reasons for delay at signing a winger is quite obvious - few top end options available in a sellers market.
Then again Tuchel clearly saw something in him and I thought he did well for him. You canāt base everything on a player in a poor team. We signed Robbo from a side that had just been relegated.
arsenal fans hoping vini gets abused when he plays next season because he didnt sign for them. these muthafckers dont understand that abuse trancends footballā¦fuck these arsenal muthafckers. they have all these black players and talking shit like that
