Sandro 'likely' to leave Spurs; Napoli a possible destination

[elvis7754]

The original source in Gianluca Di Marzio, who is about as reliable as journalists come. Let's hope he's wrong on this occasion.

Hmm don't want to see him go but w dembele, capoue, and Paulinho we'll survive

 

[GutBucket]

Don't think he's likely to leave, just that Napoli are interested in him.

 

[jolsnogross]

He really hasn't fulfilled his promise and potential at Spurs so far. He's sometimes reckless and headless, and too often cannot play in a way that protects him from injury. He is a ridiculously safe passer, and rarely gets beyond the ball these days, though that may be a side-effect of AVBs approach than anything else. Regardless, it usually means forward momentum ends when he gets the ball. He has a cult status among the fans, but a lot of that is bluster and personality rather than consistent performances week after week.

If he goes, it would be a shame, but he'd just be another drifter through spurs player history. Much like palacios, he was dramatically good at the outset, but seems to have lost his way a bit.

If he stays, it's really a big season for him. He's a copa libertadores winner, but he hasn't looked that for us. Maybe the new manager can provide new focus.

Didn't realise he is still only 25

Brazilians & Argentines do not mix on the football field. It's just the way it goes. Too much bad blood between the two nations. Look at the way Tevez is treated by his National Team, because many years ago he chose to play for Corinthians. Things like that are never forgiven. Would not be surprised to see both Sandro & Paulinho leave this summer. Gomes had already left before the news broke on Poch, although his contract at Spurs was already up.

He is the dudest of dudes, but his injury proneness worries me. Partly because he's not available for enough games and partly because this season, he's been lacking half a yard of pace compared to his prime.

I think to level the accusation that any one player on our squad for last season is not fulfilling his potential is really not very fair as no-one fulfilled their potential last year and, football being a team game, if everyone round you sucks then you aren't able to play your game either. Sort of a vicious circle, really.

Given a few weeks with everyone performing well and i don't doubt that Sandro and probably half a dozen others will start to show the talents they possess, but until then, we're going to see sub-standard displays all over the park.

Selling anyone who we don't have cover for (and no, i don't believe Capoue is as well suited to the midfield enforcer-type role as Sandro is) off the back of one crappy season is not something i want to see us doing, especially with regards to players with a passion for the team. We'd regret letting him go.

I'd be very sad if this were true. The stink of sherwood's regime still making our eyes water even after he has gone. The turd you just can't flush.

I'd lay the blame solely at AVB's door. His stifling restrictive tactics strangled every ounce of attacking flair last season. I'm still amazed he let bale do what he wanted.

 

[Danners9]

'likely' has been used in in the headline in the wrong context. At this stage it's a nothing story.

They have been long-linked with Gonalons. Surely he would be most likely.

 

[Gassin's finest]

I called this a while back... Sherwood has a lot to answer for

 

[leonspurs]

Bullshit article, likely from a bullshit sight.

 

[dagraham]

People critising Sandro are mad. He's better at what he does than Dembele and Paulinho. Yes Capoue is a good player, but its too early to let Sandro leave in the hope he will be as effective a DM as him.

I am going to be so fucked off if we let him leave.

 

[markieboy]

If Sandro leaves and we bring in Morgan Schneiderlin instead....I will be delighted.

 

[TottenhamMattSpur]

Look at Sandro pre AVB. He was pushing Scott Parker out of Harry's 11.
In sure you're ask aware how nigh on impossible it is to push a Harry favourite out. They'd have to be half dead.

The only thing holding him back is his injuries.

As for being a safe passer and not getting beyond the ball, that's not his game.

Dembele doesn't get beyond the ball either and his passing is no more expansive.

Lucky he had Sherwood for those months to unleash his potential then, wasn't he?

 

[Japhet]

If Pochettino can get the intensity back in our game, letting Sandro go will be a big mistake. He seemed to lose a lot of motivation, especially with Sherwood, and his game suffered. On his day he is an awesome player who wins a ridiculous amount of tackles (cleanly). A fired up Sandro would be a cornerstone of a strong season.

I wouldn't be too surprised to see Sandro go and Shneiderlein join.
