Pundit contradicts himself over Tottenham star leaving the club this summer

Former Man City and Leeds United defender turned pundit Danny Mills, has become very outspoken about issues concerning Tottenham in recent weeks.

The former player really does talk too much, and he now contradicts himself in almost the same sentence.

Mills was talking about the future of Jan Vertonghen recently and he claimed that it would be a blow to lose the Belgian who is on the verge of leaving Spurs for free.

However, further down in his comments, he claimed that Tottenham wouldn’t care if he joins a rival or not.

These comments make you wonder if Mills knows exactly what he is talking about right now.

Speaking to Football Insider, he said: “It would be a blow. I do wonder whether he’s suited to Manchester City though.

“He’s got experience and he’s very, very good, but it’s one of those, I think you can’t control it. If you don’t want a player, you have to accept that they’re going to go wherever they want. If you’re saying you don’t want him cause he’s not good enough, pretty much.

“Effectively you’re saying you don’t want him, so if somebody else wants him, good luck to them. I don’t think Spurs or Mourinho will be bothered in the slightest where he goes.”

Vertonghen is one player that is almost certain to leave Tottenham at the end of this prolonged season.

The 33-year-old will shortly be out of a contract and he has been linked with a move to several teams around Europe including top six teams in the Premier League.

There is still a possibility that he could yet be offered a new Spurs’ deal and no doubt there will be an abundance of opinions from pundits about the situation.

But it would lend more credence to the opinion of pundits if they did not contradict themselves so blatantly, especially two-bit pundits.
