Re: Super Jan Vertonghen Official
Who's quotes are those?
What's your point? Mine is pretty clear (although unnecessarily exaggerated as I have pointed out several times)…I do not care for what I am seeing from him. I expect more. He's capable of it. he was on track to be a skipper and leader of this club. He isn't showing those qualities now it's all a bit 'tits up'…I don't care for it.
Funny thing is, I never really allow myself to get upset by under-performers or under-achievers, but in this instance (much like one other I remember managerially) it comes down to what they ARE capable of that they're NOT delivering. That's what grates me so much. I had no idea it was against protocol to express opinions about Vertonghen BTW…

Funnily enough, Caulker would've probably made a good partner for Chiriches as he needs someone aerially dominant alongside him.

Re: Super Jan Vertonghen Official
It just seems like a case of deja vu. He's not making the right noises if you know what I mean. I'm cynical but I think I can see where this is going i.e. a bigger club will bid for him, it will drag on throughout the summer, he'll make a lame injury excuse and/or refuse to play in the league games and eventually end up being sold and Spurs fans will laud him purely for his ability and disregard how he treated the club just like they do with our previous "best players" at the club.
You may think that sound silly, but I just can't see him being at the club next season. I've seen us lose too many top players to be convinced otherwise.

I said to myself during the first half when Vertonghen pushed forward and tried that lob that he looked like someone trying to impress a possible future employer. Haven't seen him doing those driving runs for a long time.

If he does it proves that CL isn't really what he's after but higher wages. Plus he's not really a like for like replacement for Vidic, is he.

At the risk of sounding like a boot-boy on the fella, I wish he'd passed to a better positioned Ade 5 mins earlier rather than tried to 'Hoddle' Cech!

Vertonghen: Sherwood criticism specifically at me, no renewal offer to stay
Tim Sherwood has split Tottenham fans over the last week or so with his very public criticism of the squad. Some feel that he's right to speak his mind and others that he's skipping around blame himself and lowering expectations and perception of a good group of players.
A good performance and win against Benfica would have underlined the issue and enabled everyone to move on but the Portuguese club were just too good for Tottenham, something which simply should not be the case. Tottenham should have done better against Jorge Jesus's team but Sherwood's altercation with his opposing manager is what filled the following day's newspapers.
Jan Vertonghen's future has been discussed a lot over the last couple of weeks too, with claims that Tottenham had offered him a pay rise and extension to his contract to fight off interest from elsewhere, something which he's told Sport Wereld simply isn't the case.
He's not angling for a move but thinks much of the Sherwood criticism was aimed at him after his disastrous pass against Chelsea.
"I can definitely find me in his criticism. He talked the whole group, and I feel also addressed me.
"He has put the players put on the block and maybe that was the right approach... It was not good enough in recent weeks. Also not against Benfica."
"I heard nothing from Tottenham (about a new contract), the season still has ten games and I 'm suspended for the second leg of the Europa League. I focus now until the very end of the season."
Vertonghen went on to say that he's 100% committed right now, and he clearly isn't looking around for a new club at this moment in time.

All I'd say to that is he manages to hide it well.

Re: Super Jan Vertonghen Official
he has never been a smiler, a shouter or screamer......the geezer is cold as ice. Also he had a difficult injury and is taking time getting back into form

Re: Super Jan Vertonghen Official
I hear that he may still be recovering from injury but it doesn't help that he's so quick to publicly remonstrate with colleagues when things go wrong. Especially when a couple of weeks ago (or whenever) he has was quoted, correctly or otherwise, that if we do not qualify for the CL he would have to look at his options.

Re: Super Jan Vertonghen Official
Exactly - thank you! He naturally has that arrogant and calm demeanour on the pitch - it's one of the things that makes him seem like such a top player. No-one mentioned it when things were going better as a team. I didn't like his response to the CL question, but I think it's being blown out of proportion due to reading too much into his natural demeanour.
