Spurs have one of the youngest and hardest to crack in to midfields in the league. They are set for nearly a decade if they want, with what they have already. Don't see it either.

But people decided ages ago that they don’t like him and you know what that means. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nabby Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Should been brought on earlier , can carry the ball which is what the midfield needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wrote him off a while ago, but to be honest he's done well when called upon in his last few appearances. Not enough to change my mind completely but became better than I thought he was.

Bruce clearly likes him and he won't be breaking into spurs midfield any time soon Because he hasn't really done it here at villa. If anything he stopped us using the likes of lansbury and o hare playing more. Who i think are at same level as him. I'd rather not rely on 5 loans this summer. Let's get a permanent keeper in to challenge steer for number one position. Maybe smithes from QPR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's had decent games and poor games but I'd expect him to kick on and be better and more consistent next year which I think would make him a decent player at this level. We've got too many CMs really so will depend on who leaves but I'd like to think we will be trying to have him again next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please NO, I dont think he has shown enough to warrant another year on loan at Aston Villa. Rather have we tried to bring our own players through. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't anyone in U23s who has his skill set, pace, strength little bit of technique. Jake Doyle Hayes is the only CM anywhere near the team and he's a very different player.

Tom13 Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 I think he's been poor overall but he gave it a go in the final and looked up for it. I probably would take him back tbh as an option, but won't be gutted if we don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, he's been really poor for the most part. Looked disinterested most of the time which is worse than underperforming. He was good in the final though, took a bit of responsibility on and made quite a few openings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blowing big bucks on a goalkeeper doesn't seem like a wise use of the money to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cloughie said Shilton was his first and best signing he ever made Goalkeepers are underrated in terms of their influence on a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
