Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

[Darth Vega]

He just looked like he cared and wanted to win. I've already written this season off and my only remaining hope is that Danjuma gets to start more games until the end of the season.

Yeah I'm pretty much here as well. The only target we've got left as far as I'm concerned is to play him often enough to see if he's worth signing for next season.

Also, you can see from his energy and eagerness to get forward and make things happen that the Spurs malaise hasn't spread to him yet. We should be using that energy, not leaving it on the bench. See also: Sarr.

Absolutely this but I can't see Stellini starting Sarr over Skipp or PEH unless one of them get's injured or has to serve a ban. Shame because he's another player who has shown potential and could be a really good CM for years to come.

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Has now as many goals scored as Kulusevski and Richarlison this season in all competitions. Two.

Liked the way he was trying to get the crowd going. Finally good to see more than just a cameo from him

 

[Russ1201]

Hadn’t seen this

Yes FREE as in Levy or the players should refund all the loyal fans who turned up for that gutless embarrasing shitshow.
That performance has made me the most angry, upset and disappointed i have been in a very long time.

Makes you wonder why Danhjuma was not even getting a look in previously

Because Conte was putting his professional pride and philosophy ahead of the actual needs of the team or the club.

 

[muppetman]

Turns out he's not total dogshit - must be a poor trainer?

You forgot. "He doesn't know how to play in our system"

TBH I'm not sure anyone knows our "system"

 

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

He is proof that Conte was utterly clueless and stubborn to the point where he will hurt his own teams performance not picking players to make a point.

Did the same with Spence too and he’d have had a good impact for us too if given a proper chance.

I hope Danjuma features heavily until the end of the season because he is available for £20m at the end of the season and we need competition for Son. To be honest he looks a much better all round forward than Richarlison…

 

[CookieYiddo]

Real shame he has been so misused this season. I think under a different coach he would have shined and we would have been looking at making the loan permanent.

 

[agrdavidsfan]

Could be an option at RWB OR LWB.

Probably hasn’t played as there’s some stupid clause if he does we have to pay x amount.

must start now

Yep. For Danjuma see: Spence, Bissouma, Richarlison etc...

Conte & Stellini have their views and frankly on some players they see it wrong.

And Stellini continues to be a Robin for his departed Batman

 

[MiakSarawak]

No point him playing well. Stellini will just play the same lineup and the same formation again next match

The unfortunate reality. Given Sonny has actually scored a couple lately he should be playing instead of Dejan next time out if there's any sense in what we're trying to do at all.

We just have to move to a back 4 now, stick danjuma right and Kulu at 10

 

[carpediem991]

Want to see him given a few starts at least until the end of the season so we can really jdge if he is worth to be a long term part of the squad. Personally I think he can easily take over Lucas' squad spot but we probably pissed Danjuma off already. And who could blame him.

Yes, but one small positive and he's noticed it. He is cheered to the rafters by the fans

The fans have been very vocal on social media about wanting Danjuma to start games. They even came up with a #freedanjuma hashtag, which Arnaut playfully accepted and even cleverly referenced on his twitter after his cameo vs Brighton. If he doesn't start against Newcastle, then it's clear Stellini is being vindictive.
