Here's a quote from that article: "Now that he’s playing in Premier League games at Sunderland, Yedlin said he feels like everything is starting to fall into place. Spurs coaches have kept in touch with him, and he’s looking forward to playing the rest of the season with Sunderland, then returning to Spurs and competing for a spot in the team."
I tried to change it, I can change everything else but not the headline. A mod will have to change it.
He wasn't blaming the club though, I don't even think the headline is that inflammatory. I look at it as a statement of fact, if you're not playing football at the club you are at, then obviously it is a roadblock.
Exactly. We're good at these types of deals. It's the big bucks ones we're a little hit and miss on. In fact, that's likely a universal thing. Regardless, these canny signings we excel at. Either they prove themselves good enough for the squad or they do well enough on loan to get a good transfer and us a tidy little profit. There's no downside as far I can tell.
Some people said when at the time that we bought him, that it was for commercial reasons.
Trippier wasn't on the books. We bought him in the summer - possibly becasue Yedlin wasn't performing as well as expected in training. Sometimes getting players works out as you hope, sometimes it doesn't. Hindsight is a wonderful thing isn't it?
We bought him because he was young and had great potential. I don't think that's changed but in his second season he needs to start showing some sign that he's adjusting to the English game. For me, Sunderland could be make or break for him if he can roll up his sleeves and get stuck into a relegation dog fight he might show he's got what it takes, but if he doesn't want to know then we should ship him out.
