You're behind hawking as well
Serge Aurier is that you?

I agree that that is what we probably should have been doing and that it appears we are now operating in this manner. However, we did bring in and put our trust in a scouting team (Mitchell & Webb) and therefore felt that finding talent that was more attainable and cheaper would be better. After the failure of N'Jie, Mitchell/Webb and the realisation that N'Koudou isn't yet ready, it looks like we have decided to fight for the more prominent players but wait it out to see who is left.Then we should be buying people we can immediately trust. I get it if he came through our youth ranks, but we bought him (and N'Jie) as they were - promising, young but raw - sat them on the bench, brought them out with 5 minutes left for the odd game here and there and then shipped them off. Either give them a chance or splash more cash and buy someone who's ready to contribute, but doing neither is doing nothing.

Is the exclamation mark in French or English?One of Di Marzio's minions has said we've rejected the loan offer:

Tottenham refuse pour le moment la formule du prêt pour #Nkoudou !

I really can not understand why we buy a certain type of players then don't really give them a chance. GKN is a very skillful player with devastating pace, his injured at the moment, you'd like to think with the number of games we potentially have this season he could be given more opportunities to play so that we can truly see what he can offer.
