Capoue was getting a lot of praise after the first two league games - one game later and it seems he's being written off.
Good player but he's not pacy was my general point.

I wouldn't be against trying that but I think that Bentaleb will find himself as backup to Stambouli, at least for the moment.I think it will be Stambouli and Bentaleb as Poch wants more mobility in that specific area and Capoue isn't that!
I find it strange too. Given the stop start nature of his first season, he deserves a chance to establish himself as much as any of the other players.Capoue was getting a lot of praise after the first two league games - one game later and it seems he's being written off.

I agree. We have threads about character but the first place I think that we should look is the fan base. Too often people have got carried away after a good result or despondent after a disappointing one but after each they lose sight of the target.Everyone seemed to be in unison over the summer - 'forget' about top 4 and focus on letting the manager build the team - in order to do that we need to have patience, not just with the manager but with the players also - unfortunatley i have my doubts as to whether we as a fanbase have it in us to be patient.

That's it. There is absolute no perspective. It's not just a Spurs thing. You look at the way the deadline is managed. Fans camping out all afternoon to listen to a bloke read out reports of deals. There's a real sick requirement of instant gratification in the world these days. I find it all very, very bizarre.

This makes it sound like there's gonna be some bad blood between the two boards.

I think that we need to see Poch's system in place and established before we draw too many conclusions about individual players. A team pressing style is going to take a while to bed in and defensive players are at risk of looking weak against good opposition until it does.Against West Ham he slotted back into the defence (and admittedly did pretty well)
Against QPR he had no defending to do at all and about two minutes of time every time he got the ball. Most of us could've looked decent in his role that day.
Against Liverpool as soon as we were up against a team that wanted to attack us he looked like what he is - a big, clumsy, slow, immobile player who plays almost as a libero style sweeper so it is easy for him to pick up the ball and then pass it a few yards (usually sideways).
I think what Sandro has received in terms of recognition from the club via the official site is nothing short of diabolical. I know there is a few hours left in the day but fook me, he deserves a little more than a coupe of lines.
A few words from Levy wouldn't go amiss either.

Don't really agree. Sandro was loved but he wasn't really here long enough to deserve the type of send-off Dawson got. It's a shame because he was obviously a big character but someone like Dawson deserves it above Sandro, as much as I loved the guy.
25m for Rodriguez :ross::ross:
