O Jogo claims that Gedson Fernandes return is ‘being agreed with Tottenham’, which will come as no surprise to those of us that follow the team selections and have an understanding of how Mourinho operates with fringe players.
Gedson was an unremarkable flop, who made 7 Premier League appearances last season, all of which were from the bench, where the Portuguese found himself selected to sit on 15 occasions in all. ‘s record This season was actually worse, and the 21-year-old managed just one substitute’s bench selection – but never played.
Hopefully this will the last of ENIC’s curveball punts on Mourinho’s watch and Spurs can stick with the current business model of identifying talent that is at least ‘oven ready’ for the Premier League. The demands of England’s highest division are all too frequently overlooked in the pursuit of a shortcut. If it pleases the Court, may I refer to exhibit A: Clinton Njié.
