I don't think so. In one breath he ranted about how if you cut the lads brought through the ranks in half they would bleed the colours of the club, they are not looking for their next move. He included Lampard in his examples? What , also like players brought through the ranks who bled the colours where not looking for the next move like Ferdinand, Defoe, Carrick, Cole, A.Cole, Caulker, Sol Campbell, Wayne Rooney etc, etc. All players are looking for their next move unless they reach the pinnacle. Terry and Gerrard are anomalies. Gerrard must have had his reasons for not joining Jose x2 and If Abromovich hadn't bought success, would Terry not have gone somewhere else if he had an offer?I thought Tim was bang on the money with most of his views tonight. Loved the way he stood up for Kane. Out of him, Harry Poch and AVB, I'd back the two Englishmen overall.
If I would have been with him I would have told him he is talking shit, as he saw Lamela, saw him play, trained with him and selected him.
He says Spurs favour foreign imports, and he favoured Bentaleb, a French Algerian who came through the Lille academy and joined us 2 yrs ago. He also has stated that he told Levy to sign Eriksen when he saw him at 18. So, isn't Eriksen a foreign player? He was instrumental in loaning Mason to his best mate Power at Swindon. If he thought Mason was the next Gerrard why did he not loan him to the other EPL side that wanted him. No He thought they didn't have a system that would benefit Ryan so sent him and others to his pal ( and was best man at his wedding) Lee Power at Swindon -along with a few sales. He's a cunt. And the worst kind, a cunt with hindsight.
He came off like a scorned woman.
