Also sums up how piss poor he is at building a squad which is where most dof fall down.
One is a right winger and one was a left back so wtf?
Spotting a good player and spotting what the club needs are 2 different things which is why most clubs that adopt a dof end up with a lopsided squad.... like we have.... again.

I wonder if this romance with Bale will ever end. He's no longer a Spurs player, tough shit. We need to sort our team out, not daydream about what we had.

Very true but as none of us actually believe we will be able to sort things out in the near future with the current farce of a management structure it doesn't hurt to remind ourselves of a time when we actually had a world class player who cared about playing for Spurs.
