Player Watch - Sergio Reguilón (Brentford)

[bubble07]

Not good enough. Get rid

 

[Snarfalicious]

It’s amazing how many times I get surprised some players are still with us these days. I had totally forgotten about Sessegnon even being in our squad. Probably better that way, I guess, as anything he may give us is a bonus at this point.

 

[Frozen_Waffles]

We've made some absolutely terrible signings during the pre paratici era, how much did this guy cost... 25m? Sess 27? Aurier 21? Doherty 12....

If we can get over 10m back that will be a bonus. We have been terrible at signing full backs over the years and infact any players.

People will complain but Paratici is the best thing to happen to spurs for a long time.

 

[Albertbarich]

I'm hoping with him and others we start to see real movement this week.

They aren't going to play and even our board must realise we aren't getting good amounts for them.

Get rid and both parties can move on

 

[Trent Crimm]

This is why keeping Davies as a backup LB / LCB makes sense to me. He wants to stay, is liked and respected by his teammates, is a good professional, has a proven record of putting in decent performances when not a regular starter (unlike most players), and is better than most people give him credit for. I rate him above Reguilon, Sessegnon*, Lenglet, Sanchez, Tanganga & Rodon, and we'd struggle to replace him with a better player who is willing to play second fiddle to Udogie or our new LCB.

*I'm interested to see what Ange makes of Sessegnon once he recovers from surgery.

Are you Bens agent ?

Criminally underrated comment

Far rather we kept him than Davies as back-up to Udogie but if we are going to sign VDV then moot point as VDV can cover inverted LB anyway... If we aren't signing VDV then I'd rather sell Davies than Reggie but if we really need the money then sure I see why we'd be up for selling Reggie.

Totally agree with you m8. Paratici is pure class when it comes to building a balanced squad. Aurier was all 100% Levy. Aurier had a total fallout at PSG and levy saw the opportunity after our Lucas signing, Our Hitchen, Mourinho/Mendes era has to be the worst spending we have ever done.

I've made similar comments about Hojbjerg and Dier.

I don't want any of those three to be regular starters, but we have worse players who should be offloaded first - otherwise those worse players will be the ones getting minutes instead.

HG issue though. Assuming we replace Kane with a non-HG player, we would need to get rid of 3 non-Hg players from the squad and Reguilon, either Perisic or Gil and Ndombele or PEH, are the best options.

Apparently we already replaced Kane with richarlison. That's the latest twisted version of events any way. Waiting to see who we replaced for richarlison

 

[HarryKane]

Pretty funny how a player can go from being highly thought of, hoping RM don't trigger the buyback clause to "nowhere near good enough", "terrible", "Not good enough" etc. Very good crossing, high work rate, good technically, good defensively. His weaknesses are getting in the box and scoring (which is why he was out of favour with Conte, remember) and generally playing badly under Conte where almost everyone consistently played badly/nowhere near where they could (bar Kane, Bentancur and for a while Deki). Under Ange he'll be further back, much more of an auxiliary midfielder/support player which will play to his strengths far more.

And he's absofuckinglutely rapid

Just like GLC and Hojbjerg he's getting completely written off as not good enough for no good reason whatsoever. Health problems are the biggest worry from last year but this is not a talent problem at all

I really like him. Problem is we won’t sell Davies peri and can’t sell sess, so we can’t have 4 LBs. We need to shift some players

And - I don't want any player standing in the way of Udogie!!

(but its mostly a numbers game, and Reguilon probably has the most value right now)

 

[Dazzazzad]

I like him enough. But guys who aren't nailed on starters who we can get a decent offer for - we have to seriously consider that.

Happy if he stays. Happy if he goes (for a fair fee).

 

[WiganSpur]

He needs to go. Not because he is especially bad but he's not HG, Sess is hanging around, we need to invest in Udogie's development, and someone like Van de Ven or Davies could provide cover. Given the context i'd snap a buying club chairman's hand off for £10m.

This. I actually rate the lad and if he was English I'd keep him, but he's not, and we need to reduce the non hg quota to sign the CBs we want.

I agree that Paratici was a positive appointment. However, your example of fullbacks / wingbacks doesn't really hold up - Patatici signed five of them in the space of two years and most have not been big successes.

Fair play, not sure if Spence and Peresic were Paratici picks though.

1 signed for Nuno
3 signed for Conte
1 club signing (apparently)

Difficult if we keep having different managers with different ideas FB or WB and signing players but you are right.

I’m a fan of Emerson though and it’s a bit early to judge Udogie. 32 yo Peresic as a WB in the premier league was a bit crazy in hindsight as well.

Porro and Spence are worrying though. Especially Porro, spending 40m on a full back (or wingback) that can’t defend is a massive issue. But again Conte wanted an attacking WB and he is that.

Perhaps not, but a key part of being a successful Director of Football is being effective in controlling / influencing recruitment decisions. Every manager and owner will attempt to have a say, but the Director of Football is responsible for steering the ship. Conte & Levy would not be easy to work between, as both seem to be are very opinionated and rigid in their thinking, but that's the nature of the job.

I rate Emerson (RB) & Porro (RWB) in their primary positions. It's rather frustrating that each of their signings was soon followed by the manager being replaced by one who's system they aren't well suited too though. I expect Emerson to thrive next season, but Porro probably needs to revert playing at RW now...leaving a gap for a back-up RB who can defend well.
Udogie was signed as a LWB, but hopefully proves to be an effective LB.

32 yo Peresic as a WB in the premier league was a bit crazy in hindsight as well.

Perisic was 33 (and a half) when we signed him and turned 34 midway through the season. Not exactly a spring chicken!
