According to a Turkish source relayed by Korean JoonAng Daily, Tottenham’s current manager, Antonio Conte, has green-lit the transfer for Kim Min-jae. Before we waste your time further, providing an assessment of a player that we have not really seen play, or waffle on about what a game-changer this player will be, let’s re-examine matters.
For one, no Spurs manager green lights anything. The greatest moment of authority, any head coach under Daniel Levy experiences is when they go into the staff canteen and choose what they want to eat and drink.
For two, if Conte is the gaffer when it comes to transfers, why is Paratici’s name suddenly out of the frame?
My suspicion is that this rumour is reheated rubbish, like some uninspiring TV dinner. The quality of many (but not all) Turkish football transfer outlets is frequently poor.
I hope I’m wrong, as the kid looks decent enough, but that whole ‘green light’ nonsense, plus the low strength source business casts a wholly unconvincing shadow…
