Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[Spurrific]

I value my dead nan's opinion on football more than Tim Vickery's

 

[mil1lion]

SSN do it every deadline day. It’s to keep the viewers all day. Just ignore it, he’ll be announced soon enough. I’m not worried.

Yeah I reckon VDV signed a week before deadline day

 

[npearl4spurs]

I've heard he'll be announced like this at HT

 

[fletch82]

Have to admit, thought this would be the case. Big game kind of lends itself to an unveiling.

Have to perform tonight, journos twitchy fingers readying themselves to start the what must Moura be thinking sat in the stands witnessing this debacle.

Hopefully not as bad as aubshangalang was thinking last night

 

[Streetspur77]

The Walcott comparison is so lazy and literally just coz they look a bit similar

They are nothing like each other and Walcott could only dream of having the skill Lucas has

 

[WiganSpur]

If Vickery thinks he's shite then that's probably a good sign

 

[Dougal]

To be fair, if Vickery said he was the next Messi we'd all get excited by that too. Let's wait and see.

 

[Hengy1]

Still not been followed on instagram by spurs official.

Not even close to a announcement

I’d accept that from someone from this country. However for us, he needs to liken him to someone. Maybe his closest comparison is Walcott rather than some guy we’ve never heard of? I don’t know - I’m no expert. Whatever, let’s hope eh?

 

[WiganSpur]

Still nothing on #Moura but medical complete and finalising paperwork as we understand it #thfc

Levy's dog eaten the paperwork?

Same with Townsend. Lazy comparisons

We wouldn’t though. Vickery’s judgements on players are notorious for their inaccuracy.

 

[Guntz]

We'll announce him at 5pm, watch.

In this thread, I've seen him likened to Walcott & Townsend. For all the slagging off that Walcott gets, I'd rather Moura were more like him than Townsend.

 

[Streetspur77]

Same with Townsend. Lazy comparisons

Yeah all seems a bit, racist is the wrong word, but just because they're three fast players all with a similar complexion and haircut

Long as Moura's brain can write checks his feet can cash, we're all good.

 

[SpartanSpur]

5pm is drive time UK and day time in USA/Brazil so would make sense as an announcement time for the club.

 

[worcestersauce]

My understanding is that he runs with the ball and will take people on and try to beat them, people have even complained he often takes on one too many, in which case he clearly is not at all like Walcott who never does that, he has had it coached out of him and that's why his career has deteriorated.
Poor comparison in my opinion.

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

I'm confident this will be announced at 10.59.59

 

[Univarn]

I'm confident this will be announced at 10.59.59

I'd love the meltdown if they just sat on it one more day and announced it tomorrow morning just because they could.
