Levy loves Ligue1 for some reason, as we have seen over recent years to little positive effect. Apart from Loris, I can’t think of a single French player that has worked out well at Spurs, probably because Levy signs the ones no other big clubs want. Levy doesn’t compete with other serious clubs for players for the simple reason that they will always do what they need to get the deal done. Levy only enters negotiations when there is no competition, he wants a clear run.
Tanguy clearly has issues and when he signed, his previous attitude issues in France were spoken about. However, to get the best out of such a player who’s clearly talented you need a suitable coach. Apparently Tanguy asked to speak to Poch before signing and had heard positive things about Poch developing players.
Levy needs to decide what sort of football approach he wants in place. We are forever signing players between the ages of 19-20 years old. Cheaper, lower wage demands, greater profit when sold, etc, we all know why. Therefore, the decision to sack Poch based on present results after making no signings for ages before the summer was typically short-sighted. Levy created the need for rebuilding the squad because of his neglect of it in the first place.
Now you have a coach in Jose who isn’t exactly famed for developing young players having to deal with the inevitable issues that arise with signings like Tanguy. The whole situation is a mess compared to where we were a couple of years ago and the only person to blame in all of this is Daniel Levy. We are always told that ‘it’s his club, he does what he wants’ by the coaches so why these dumb, mug fans don’t start pointing the finger at him more is totally beyond explanation.
Wrong player for the wrong coach and the wrong chairman, for the best club in the world…
Who signed Tanguy? Who sacked Poch, who hired Jose, who created this mess?
