Davinson Sanchez’s career at Tottenham has stalled like Dele Alli’s; as José Mourinho has drawn a distinct line in the Hotspur Way sand. On one side are the boys he can trust, and across the way are those who simply can’t demonstrate the levels of commitment that are required.
Sky Sports believe that Brighton’s Ben White is a player of interest to a number of sides, including Spurs. As far a valuation goes, there appears to be confusion. Transfermarkt’s COVID-19 adjusted price is £13.5milllion, whereas Sky believe that Leeds United had a bid of some £25million declined.
At a glance, WhoScored?’s graphic tells us that White is a superior player, and watching the boy in action suggests that could be the case.
Does playing in the Europa League have no real importance to us anymore? at the end of last season Jose was doing a dance celebrating qualification. So while the players picked to play for Spurs in the tournament are mainly backup and academy they are of the upmost importance to the bigger picture of winning every game and competing for all the titles not just the PL. Both Dele & Sanchez are still playing as recently as last Thursday and haven’t dissapeared and are still being trusted to play their roles in the squad. Unless both are excluded like Danny Rose or sent out on loan in January while they still pull on the shirt we need to back them.The reason for rotation is so that the players who are picked for the biggest & hardest PL games the likes of City & Chelsea have the week off arrive fit and rested .I want us to win the EL and if Jose picks Dele & Sanchez tomorrow night or for the next game, they still have his trust and support.If we got to the final none of the back up players are likely to be selected and Jose would go with his strongest (PL) picks but those players would also know the contribution made during all the qualifying rounds,group stages & knockout rounds by the other squad players including Dele & Sanchez. It’s not all about the first eleven,who would milk the glory of lifting the cup if successful.The only lines in the sand at Hotspur way are the ones Bale has left practising his bunker shots.
Yeah if Mou doesn’t fancy you then you’re out of the big boys league. Sanchez is too inconsistent for important games – flaps at crosses and always has an og in him. however that used to apply to Serge and he’s stepped up.
