Mathys Tel

Makes sense. Lange and Levy can probably speak convincingly on the overall project/structure. But only the manager can speak convincingly about how he plans to use the strengths of any given player on the pitch. Good that we got everyone involved.

The most important thing though is we listened to what the player wanted (and rather refreshing it wasn't money for once)...and adjusted accordingly.

You'd think this would teach people the importance of patience (like waiting for the end of the window before commenting, but also other issues in general), but it won't.

It's not even patience....it's the ability to ignore something that has plenty of noise but very little value, indeed massively less value than your time.

All I hope for is that something clicks with him here at the club and he ends up feeling settled and wanting to join permanently.

I think Odobert (as long as things go well for him as well) could be great with this.

-Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.

-A man who is a master of patience is master of everything else.

-Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.

-The key to everything is patience. You get the chicken by hatching the egg, not by smashing it.

-Patience is necessary, Levy cannot reap immediately where he has sown.

Or maybe after 26 years you realise the bus isn't coming?

To be honest i am not really going to get stressed out about him staying here or not. What i am looking forward to is seeing him in our shirt for the rest of the season. Worry about next season after this one is over.

Ange Postecoglou: Mathys Tel never rejected Tottenham

Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou has denied reports that Mathys Tel initially rejected the club before his deadline day move to north London.

When asked about whether Tel rejected Spurs, Postecoglou said: "I think people need to understand that you are talking about a 19-year-old who has to make a major decision for his career and it's not that he rejected us or rejected anyone else.

"I think he just wanted to be comfortable with his decision. I don't think he wanted to be pushed in a certain direction and it's credit to him.

"I had a conversation with him and it was purely around the football and I think he'll find a really good place for him here."

Postecoglou has previously said he only wants to sign players committed to the club's project, despite them currently sitting 14th in the Premier League table.

When asked if he felt Tel was committed to Spurs, Postecoglou said: "Yes, 100%. I am more than 100% sure because he took so much time, was so diligent about finding out everything. He had other options so it gave me more confidence that we are getting the right kind of mentality, the right kind of player.

"He is very ambitious. He has a great self-belief and confidence. He feels he can reach the top of the game and he has chosen us which is great vindication of what we are doing."

He's played two minutes at left back? We all know where he's going to be played then .....
