Would love him. Is he actually playing? Surprised he’s only 28 too

I was too, I thought he'd be late 30's by now!  Seems to have been around forever!  He's only played four times for Spurs this season apparently.  I'm pleased to see that Smith is wanting a 'tougher' midfielder in.

My mate a, spurs fan, used to rave about him in the early poch days.  He has since revised his position saying that he never recovered from an injury and ‘his legs have gone’ which is surprising considering his age.

Interesting. He’s the right kind of player anyway for sure, prem experience, proper cdm spoiler. One of those and another striker and we’ve had a good window.

That's fair enough although I'd like to see Trezeguet with a decent midfield before judging him fully. I thought he did okay on Tuesday but others didn't.
I like him and I'm sure he's be much better, or far more consistent next season.
to me, he’s just seemed inconsistent- much like the rest of the team really. Some days he’s great. Other days anonymous. I do like him though and think he will improve and hopefully be more consistent.

Agree with this. Think he's yet to properly settle and like some others has good days and bad days as a result. Hoping he finds a rhythm soon as he clearly has talent.

Like a few others, probably would have been better being used as an impact sub up to this point.  That would have allowed him to find his feet a bit more.

Surprised we have not had another look at Joe Lolley, could play alongside Jack and McGinn.

The Meaning Evil has us linked with Victor Wanyama.  28 years old.

They also have us linked to Benteke again. Not seen it elsewhere and the cynic in me is they are doing it for click bait.

I'm not sure he adds anything more than what we already have to be honest.  I wonder if he might better as a replacement for Lansbury and/or Hourihane if we stay up and he comes in the summer.

He has yet to hit the heights of last season and been anonymous in some matches but on what planet is 6 goals and 4 assists 'garbage'? Bit extreme

we gambled on enough players that struggled to make the step up to the premier league - don't think it's wide to do that again, I think we need a bit of 'proven' in this side....

Has been incredibly poor when he has played. Spurs aren't exactly blessed with much quality in midfield (Winks, Dier et al). Your mate is right his legs are long gone. We already made one big mistake with Drinkwater and we don't need another.
