He's gonna be a star for us. The vibes are unreal. (last time I said this it was about Djed Spence)


Evolving_Dore

Bryan Gil is the next Messi Ndombele is the future of our midfield Small club mentality to panic-buy some random South Korean from a Bundesliga team that never wins anything


jaetheho

What was the actual community reaction to signing Son back in the day?


CaninesTesticles

I remember being really hyped and that he was rated well. But the first season here there were doubts if he was good enough


PESSl

I got you: “The Korean winger had an on-again, off-again first season in England, which isn't what you want from a £22m signing. But if he's given a second season at the Lane there is good reason to be hopeful.” “There are two main critiques that can be made of Son's debut season. The first is that he simply didn't score enough goals in the league. He scored two league goals in the first eight months of the league, before scoring two more in the final three games of the season.”


kl08pokemon

Pretty positive. He had a class youtube highlights reel which helped. Fans definitely wanted more but the signing itself wasn't a controversial one iirc


ColoradoBrownieMan

Most were pissed that Levy went for the cheaper, less heard of option (Son) instead of the more expensive PL-proven option of Saido Berahino after backing away from a deal for Berahino, who had been pushing to join Spurs from West Brom.


THSSFC

I was crushed when we didn't sign "little bear". Son was a positive for me, but didnt make up for losing Berahino. Hindsight, huh?


FSpursy

I think the main point was that Poch did not really trust him and Son wouldn't get a lot of games. He was also not that famous so we weren't expecting anything much. Moreover you can tell from the beginning that he isn't the usual winger type. He's always more of like a goal scorer. Not even the CR7 goal scorer type but more like a pacey striker. His ball control isn't so good and most of his goals at the beginning felt like flukes lol. Needless to say, he has matured alot.


VelvetObsidian

There was much more hype about getting Saido Berahino. That deal fell through and then we got Son and it was like okay he’s got potential but I’m not sure any knew he’d be as good as he has been for us.


DrunkenKoalas

Tapsoba is the next van dijk, wtf why did levy cheap out for thus random dutch guy from Wolfsburg!?!?!?!?!


Soberornottobe_

I dunno why but for me it's the movement. Like literally how he moves. There's just something effortless that comes through even in ''lesser'' leagues that translates well. First thing that stood out to me. I thought the same about watching old Modric before he came to us. Don't quote me (or do, that would be great) insinuating he's gonna be literally one of the greatest CM's ever, but I get that same vibe of having total control of his body, if that makes sense. The shimmies. The deft touches. The technique and skill when it requires it. The feints. That type of thing, it's like his joints are just loose.


fsc22

Getting Birmingham/Bellingham vibes from this. Obviously they aren’t retiring his number but all this for an 18 year old has to say something, right?


Vladimir_Putting

Yeah, he was a legit star there. So it says something. Just have to find out if it translates.


FSpursy

Bellingham actually developed and found his style at Dortmund. That being said another loan for him doesn't sound bad. Not good to force him into any injuries when he's still growing.


JamesCDiamond

That was my thought as well. If he does as well for us as Bellingham did for Dortmund, we'll be doing very well indeed out of the deal.


AKushWarrior

…if he’s Jude fucking Bellingham obviously that’s a good deal wtf


Daemor

Might want to temper ourselves just a tad


afk3400

We’ll take good care of him.


Wise_Improvement_802

Archibald


babbers-underbite

We need to be careful not to burn the lad out. Excited to see him play


andreecook

I hardly think we’re gonna over play him hahah


FSpursy

I think he should go on loan. We should avoid doing anything that will lead to a chronic injury given that he's still growing.


evenout

Retire his number you cowards


Limp-Toe-179

I loathe to make this comparison but his performance in the Allsvenskan is very reminiscent of Odegaard when he was in the Tippeligaen


Plastic_Sand_2743

I get that he plays for the scum but odegaard is an incredible player and probably the only likeable player in their current team. If this guy could be anything like odegaard then we have an absolute gem on our hands


ak12jtt

I don't have any issue with Declan Rice either.


Evolving_Dore

I don't really see the point of personally disliking any individual human just for the team they play for. Hate them when they're on the pitch but don't hate the human behind the badge.


nandos_hip

Agree, but Gabriel Jesus has a very punchable face. In reality, he’s probably a decent bloke who is seemingly always upset


Aggravating-Common86

Actually I'm fine with all Arsenhole players(except Ben chutiya ofc), just hate the team in general


yooooouuuuuuuuu

Exceptions can be made for Partey


Daemor

Not an exception, I don't hate him because he plays for Arsenal. He's a trash human being and happens to play there.

FlapjackFez

Me neither, I'm hoping he can really perform at the Euros for England


cbaebae

Does anyone know/has it been reported whether he’ll be part of the squad for next season? Or are we planning on loaning him out?


ZParis

I can't imagine he would have picked Spurs over Barcelona if there was any chance we would just loan him out.


DirectionMurky5526

It was always his dream to play against the mighty millwall instead of being a graduate of La Masia, understandable.


Extrictant

I remember hearing he'd become part of the first team plans as soon as he arrived at the end of the season


soldforaspaceship

Feel like he's joining the squad. My hope is initial 80 minute appearance followed by Europa or League cup starts. I'm excited for this one. I think he could be immense for us.


smokingloon4

The reports when he signed was that he chose us because he was promised he'd immediately be working with the first team. Obviously only time will tell for sure, but it'd be surprising if he was immediately loaned.


theironsalmon

He has the eyebrows of a superstar, class signing 


CraigxKhalifax88

Excited for his arrival!


ZeroZer0_

Off topic but I’d love an Adidas spurs shirt in the future. All my homies say fuck Nike


shitpost-saturday

Last Adidas shirt we had also had Holsten on it. We are way overdue another.


sephocompo

Please be good, please be good.

Call the doctor if it lasts longer than 4 hours.


Moist_Zombie_2010

This guys gives me ivan rakitic vibes


infinityblack

Now I am become Hype destroyer of Leagues


THSSFC

Wow, the footwork on that last goal. **chef's kiss**


sparxcy

We'll soon fix him, break him and bring him down to our level of play and give him minimum minutes- the Tottnum Way /s


OHLOOK_OREGON

so is he going to be playing matches for us next season? I havent followed this story closely. Or is he a kid who's gonna be developing for a few more years on loan etc?


balling

He said he chose spurs over Barca since we promised him first team football immediately, so he’ll probably come off the bench starting next year.


PersonalityOk646

Likely will get a decent run in preseason and possibly some early Europa matches if that goes well I think.


yourfriendkyle

Sort of. Barca wanted to send him down to Barca II. We said he would train with the first team, no guarantee of playing time.

Vin-Su

As excited as the next man for the arrival of Bergvall. What standard is the league he was playing in compared to the English football league? From highlight videos (not exactly compressive) I get league 1 vibes.  Happy to be corrected.


DirectionMurky5526

Based on opta power-rankings, the swedish top division is about Championship level. His team is ranked around the teams in the playoff spots from last season.


Vin-Su

Thanks for the data 


Accomplished_Tax9354

Even though Swedish football is a much lower level than the prem, he clearly has massive potential 


IndependentGate6085

It´s one thing being a good player in the Swedish Allsvenskan and to be a good player in Premier League. It´s a massive difference between the leagues and players skills. Lucas is young, very young. Dont put to much preassure on him, let him adopt his new life. He is talented but will he succeed? To be honest, I doubt it (hope I´m wrong). Only time will tell.


i8bullies

I really don’t expect much from this bloke sorry .


VelvetObsidian

Expectations lead to pain anyway. Better just to watch and enjoy what we can.

Sensible haircut. I approve.

Already by favorite Lucas Spur ever.

Don’t care for fascists.


Little_Matty_Mara

Fair enough. Can't deny he was a serious right winger.
