He got harsh treatment here, but I think it was down to his attitude. He isn't a good enough manager to me though. Below Tim sherwood level

He is too stubborn in sticking to how he wants to play, even when it's not working(!) and still got a lot to improve on with his human/player management skills.

Why would we want to sign Witsel?

He is expensive and doesnt complement Matic...

Well, to start with they DID play well together for benfica.

Secondly, we don't have DMs in our squad. Mikel is lower than luiz in jose's list. And both of them might not be here next season.

Lamps was average at best in the withdrawn role in the earlier part of the season and again, even he might not be here next season.

Matic definitely lacks the physicality of playing 50 matches a season which he very well might need to if he is our only DM next time around.

Witsel's passing should even be questioned. Only thing would be his speed to our style of play.

But given the definite lack of quality cms AVAILABLE at this moment, witsel would still be second in the list after kroos.

"I achieved success in all of my teams. I won four titles with Porto, reached Champions League quarter finals with Chelsea, and the team later won the trophy. Tottenham had a good run in the Premier League.

"There were some mistakes, but the results are clear for all to see. As for my exit from Tottenham, there were contract issues there.


Deary me...

To be fair to AVB, they only really face planted in the big games and that is going to continue to happen with or without him. It doesn't matter who you are if your chairman sells Modric than Bale on you and than uses the money to buy a whole bunch of players you don't want, or that won't really do anything, you're team will regress. They didn't manage the funds from those players well and that's the real problem with the spurs. Levy should be put on the guillotine, better for us though.
