Vertonghen? Every time I've watched Spurs I've found Toby the better of the two but your the Tottenham fan so I'll take your word.
Tammy Abraham - Roma Striker
- Thread starter BlueCelery
- Start date
Spurs fans intentionally condescending tone on here since they have gotten halfway decent (and won nothing, still nothing.. Quite literally nothing) is hilarious.
Always preferred Vert, there isn't much in it though .. comes down a lot to personal preference.
But that's the thing though would you really call someone racially abusing his own teams player a "fan"? They've done it to Marcus, Young and Lingard as well our so called "fans" To me they are just twitter shit heads trying to give the clubs a bad image.
What would you like me to call Maguire? Elite? World Class?
He's a good/decent central defender, with exceptional ability carrying the ball out from the defence. He's not the kind of defender you'd look at and go 'yeah, fair enough .. what is tammy meant to do?' which on his day you can say about somebody on Van Djik's level.
He is a very good defender but you are fully aware of why you chose such a dismissive phrase. Because after watching us win for years on end it is fun for smaller clubs and rivals to speak about Utd and their players that way. It isn't a big thing but very obvious and quite funny after 7 years or so.
You're being paranoid, it was a nothing description.
I rate Maguire, he offers a lot in terms of building play from the back and he's a serious set piece threat. The 'decent' description was referring to his defensive ability, which I wouldn't say is exceptional but is well .. decent. He has weaknesses in that respect but does the job.
Anyway I'll leave it there before people get upset about going off topic.
Norwich’s awful defence isn’t exactly a test, but I don’t think this guy is anywhere near as hopeless as people here seem to think. Has quick feet and lots of power behind his shots. Still needs to be more clinical consistently.
Great for his confidence today but pretty much against a championship defence.
He definitely isn't. His first goal was a difficult technique and excellently taken and Krul should have saved the second but his first touch and dribble was brilliant. His hold up play and link up play is good too.
He's surprised me with his all round game, it's a lot better than i thought/remember.
I still think we will sign a new forward next summer but i alsothink he will win the race to be the other forward.
Joined the club 15 years ago, first goals for the first team today.
Two very good goals today. Platform for him to kick on. Going to be an interesting season seeing how he develops.
He's a proper goalscorer. 62 senior goals at the age of 21 is impressive however you look at it. Some of the comments about him after the first few games of the season were way too hasty.
I still think the keeper should have done better for his second goal. First goal was a good finish
Two goals today but they are against a newly promoted side that he was only facing last season in the championship, it's against the more established premier league teams that he needs to find the net regularly
He's done very well in the Championship. I don't think he's a bad player at all, but not starting material for Chelsea if they have ambitions. As a squad player for them, he'd be decent. Sort of like Chicharito 2012/2013.
Really hedging their bets between England and Nigeria when naming the lad, weren't they.
His brother plays for Fulham, his name is Jason Timiebi Ogheneobrucheme Bakumo-Abraham (but goes by "Timmy Abraham)".
Yes, I copied and pasted that name but it's real.

Would make quite the front three with Daniel Nii Tackie Mensah Welbeck.
It's nothing compared to this legend: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_OatwayHow many names does he have?
Is this one of those cases where I've heard that in England most kids have both their parents names combined?
What's weird about taking the names of both parents anyway? Almost everybody from a Spanish or Portuguese speaking country, as well as Québécois and Filipinos follows this practice. It's not "most kids" in England but it's definitely common (and becoming increasingly so).
Good post-match interview. Sounded articulate and could string a coherent sentence. I find that to be positive signs for young players.
He's a really likeable character. I really want him to do well because I always knew he would get a really rough time of it because of his gangly awkward style.
Amusing how much crap he got after the 1st two games. He's 21 FFS.
Sooooo happy for him
Pretty much just because he missed a penalty. As if that's any indication of how good a player is.

Yeah I've got 5 names. My mam's maiden name as a middle name in addition to my forename, middle name, confirmation name, and surname.
he's on fire at the moment
Surely Southgate can't ignore him now?
Get him capped competitively before Nigeria steal him.

If you want a fast attack it wouldn’t be Abraham. Rashford-Sterling-Sancho or Hudson Odoi instead of Rashford when he comes back. I think Abraham is a plan B though because you can hit him long.
No chance Kane gets dropped given he’s scoring so many.
I deleted the bit about playing him for Kane because I realised that I was subconsciously just assuming he was fast because of the way he looks. My bad. He looks a player. Hopefully we get him capped soon.
Looked absolutely lost in his first 2 games.....fair play to him.
Is he a good player now then?
He's a bit rubbish isn't he? Championship striker 
Some clueless folk on here. What a character and mental strength.
Some clueless folk on here. What a character and mental strength.I think I might owe him an apology. Not watching Chelsea play, but the United game is showing goal updates..
Really good start to life in the premier league.
Really good start to life in the premier league.
Just remembered he's in my FPL team...
He's absolutely on fire. The mocking after the first couple of games was plain stupid.
What a goal as well.

I hope Chelsea continue to give their homegrown kids a chance after the ban is lifted. They look really good.
Didn’t he hit the post against us with a cracking effort?
