Not sure the author actually watched Spurs.
"Establishing himself as first choice fightback, especially since Conte has arrived..."
"Contes wingback system is getting the best out of Emerson..."

Hmm, instead of adding the padding which is inaccurate just post the quotes and be done

Terrible article, that is wholely inaccurate. Not only is the headline quote taken completely out of context to grab headlines but the writer clearly hasn't done any research and has stated claims that are simply not true.

The actual comments are very complimentary to Tottenham even when he would be within his rights to regret the move. Though the article would have you believe that the move has gone more successfully than it really has.

What he actually said:

“The decision was very complicated because I didn’t want to leave. But then I chose to leave because I saw that it was the best option for me [...] I think I did very well"

Namely, initially he didn't want to leave Barcelona but fight for a position. Then afterwards when talking to the clubs etc he made the active choice to leave and realised it was the best option for him. He doesn't regret the decision.

These are positive quotes.

I thought it was common knowledge in the Summer that he didn't really want to leave Barca and we had to convince him he would be given a fair shot here.
