Working with Sherwood must be a barrel of laughs. Minus the laughs.
In fact, I’d imagine it’s more like being shoved into a barrel and hearing Tim and his braying mates say things like, “I hope you can swim, mate!” like whilst hammering in the nails. The banter.
Prior to the West Brom game, Tim was asked for an update on Tottenham’s record transfer fee signing.
Lamela’s probably not going to play this season. He’s been out a very long time. He’s going to need a pre-season before he can play.
He’s basically been out of the picture because of his injury and hopefully he’s using this time to learn English. That will stand him in good stead for when he’s eventually fit.”
Tim was then asked how Lamela’s English was coming on. He replied:
“Qué?”
It’s good to laugh. I haven’t stopped all season.
