5 Successful Touches In 47 Minutes: Another Red Hot Spurs Transfer Fizzles Out| graphics

I’ve made this point once or twice before and so you’ll indulge me again when I point out that you do not spend a billion pounds on a shopping center (with a football team as its anchor tenant) and then seek to pass off players such as Carlos Vinicius as a Premier League standard star.

47 minutes the boy was one for Spurs, in which space of time Carlos touched the ball successfully 5 times. On two of those occasions, it was for the kick-off! A veritable sea of black crosses.

Vinicius attempted a dozen tackles and was unsuccessful in just two of them.

There are too many passengers in the Tottenham squad, and in all departments. Having to bring Sonny on to replace this player was nothing shy of embarrassing.
