Surprised if he can even say Richarlison correctly let alone have an opinion on him. Just trying to show that I'm not the only one who thinks that this might be a mistake.

I remember when we first came in to the Premier League he was talking about how Roy Hodgson should be considering picking Jason Puncheon and Yannick Bolasie for the England squad. That's Jason Puncheon who played for Jamaica and Yannick Bolasie who played for Congo. I have been avoiding his opinions ever since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akin to Harry Redknapp saying Wes Morgan should be picked for England. Not only was that a very silly suggestion in itself, it's actually worse because he was a fully-fledged Jamaican international too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually don’t have anything against Merson, seems fairly harmless, but he once analysed a goal by saying “he goes bang, bang, bang and it’s in” and you did wonder if Sky could have got someone else in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than giving a guard of honor and celebrating a manager who was going to an apparent rival I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you're hypothetically turning on a player who's just left is bad but giving a positive send off to a leaving manager is also bad? Make your mind up.

Hopefully this alleys your fears. Merson on City spending £50m on De Bruyne and just not worthitis legendary. Big props to Phil Thompson too looking equally a mug.

Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted July 3, 2022 Author Subscriber Share Posted July 3, 2022 You can look at what gets clipped up to identify the purpose behind Sky employing certain pundits. Soccer Saturday is largely for comedy. The clips you see on social media are gaffes and they have their end of season Soccer Saturday funnies. Those guys are there to come out with nonsense, to get laughed at and laugh at each other. In contrast, you'll see serious analysis on Monday Night Football and sometimes Super Sunday that they'll stick on Twitter and YouTube. Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, Roy Keane, Souness, etc., are largely there to provide the actual serious analysis. Obviously they are often full of it too, sometimes still say stuff for clicks, but these are the pundits who tend to be somewhat knowledgeable that you can take halfway seriously in terms of Sky Sports.

Big props to Phil Thompson too looking equally a mug. I was sure that Lukaku and Ronaldho wouldn't work for Chelsea and Utd respectively because of the never buy back philosophy which so often works in favour of it and my instincts were proved correct. I agree Paul Merson is very often wrong, so often that I rarely listen to him. But,de Bruyne to City and Richarlison to us are not really connected but I see from where you are coming. Well, I hope I am proved wrong but at the moment I'm cautious about this appointment. But thank you anyway Lucas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I don't like Richarlison, I think he's a pile of dogshit that's been wrapped up in human flesh and brought to life by blueshite voodoo magic... but I think it's pretty obvious he's a much better player than Bergwijn tbh.

Yeah but there’s no real room for sentimentality in building a competitive side. Fans can always love him, but the manager and the people above him have a job to do. I don’t think Bergwijn’s a bad player, but I also don’t think he’s some pivotal attacker that will leave an irreplaceable void at Spurs. Richarlison is just a better player than him though and more versatile. It’s a big upgrade in squad depth and tactical flexibility for Spurs. I fucking hate the guy and even I think it’s clear as day mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complacency has always been a problem when Spurs are playing well and often, when that happens somebody brings us down to earth with a thump so what you're saying is yet to be seen Stan. Traditions are strong in football as they are everywhere and with a top name at the helm those traditions are manifested at Tottenham so I see your fear. But there is always a negative tradition with us too. Often when there's a Spurs connection with another team, we lose the first match against that team and ex players score against us so I have concerns as well as confidences.
