Ok lads.
I just joined the forum to post this here.
Lived in London, now in Canada, but Spurs fan all my life.
Love Spurs, love Son. Ok?

I'm not Korean.
If any Son (Korea) fans are upset by the title,
I'm not trash talking.
Please read the rest.

First of all, yes, Son is a fantastic player.
He is capable of producing goals. Yes, we've all seen that in September.
He is still young. 24? He can grow to be world-class, yes.

We'd all love to see the lad playing for us. Ok? Don't get me wrong.
But we are Spurs fans, not Son fans.
We are doing fantastic... under Pochettino.
We are no longer - 'strong enough to be top 4, but off by a bit' team.
We are consistently keeping our top 4 place in the league.
And our main formation now, is to have a 3-back system.

Son, has proven to be not so fitting with our new formation.
This is where the opinions of Son-fans and Spurs fans differ.

If the team is doing better at 3-back, which Son is not the best in,
we are NOT choosing between Son and our system.
Where a team (or a manager) has to choose a specific player over their system,
is not going to happen. Simply.
Maybe if we have Messi, then we can talk this over.

You might argue, our team did better with 4 back,
but that is not my point. If the manager wants a 3-back system,
he will have it. The fans can say nay but manager is the one with power.
And we are doing fine with 3 at the back.

NOW,
why am I saying 'sell Son'?
I feel bad for the lad. He is still young, and has that 'potential' (any CM/FM fans out there?).
I'd say he deserves playtime to be a better player, and to prove his worth.
But I'm saying, it is going to be hard in our current roster and our main formation.
He is not even being treated as a 'super-sub'.
You know, when Lamela is fit, he will now have to fight for his sub position.

I'd hate to see Son leave, such a lovable lad.
but you know. That is the for the best of us.

Well I've seen my fair share of silly football threads but this may just top the lot. He's a great squad player and assuming he can't be made to play with 3 at the back he's still a great and energetic talent with raw ability and something like 11 goals this season so long story short no, you're wrong he should not be sold from our point of view and the fact he's a larger than life character does our dressing room no harm so again, just no on this one for me.

You're not from Europe are you
 
I think he flourishes in this formation.

Son, Eriksen and Alli all interchanging and running beyond the oppositions defence is a threat for ANY team.
 
I'm resigned to the fact that Son will likely cause me to throw shit at the TV, and then score a goal 5 seconds after that, in every match he starts.

If he learns your pass around the box better he will be fantastic. Janssen was setting up a tea party waiting for the ball on his goal today.
