The Tottenham squad is suffering from a perfect storm of so many very ‘Spursy’ issues, it is difficult to know quite where to start. We have players that have been drifting aimlessly for so long, such as Harry Winks and Dele Alli, as well as players who were drafted in to add some fresh blood, such as Matt Doherty and Tanguy Ndombele. The grim reality is, that pretty much no matter which way one looks, there are more questions than answers. Another factor, of course, is that the management of the players had been on the slide for too long. José Mourinho said publicly that Steven Bergwijn wasn’t his ‘first choice’, which was a polite way of letting us know that this was another spreadsheet signing.
Now, Mail online, amongst many, is reporting that the Dutchman could be heading back to his homeland. When successive coaches pass on a player, it is clearly time for decisive action to be taken. Situations tend not to right themselves.
Bergwijn has been a failure, and it is also time for Dele Alli to be moved on, as well. Any player that Conte doesn’t play, must be released.
