Well he certainly talks a good game. Seems like exactly the type of character we'd want at the club.

All the new signings have been fantastic in that respect.

Good signing and hope he's a massive success.

Not entirely sure why it's taken so long that he's missed pre-season with us but I suppose Levy-suffefers can't be choosers.

37. The smallest irregular prime number. Perhaps VDV is a math hobbyist. He couldn’t get the conventional number 5, and the club wouldn’t let him be Euler’s number because custom printing large e’s just for his shirt would kill merch profits, so he chose 37.

He's so cerebral. The thinking man's footballer.

Seems like we are finally doing due diligence on character.
Tanguy and Sess are exhibits A and B on why assessing for character is critical. The former lacks motivation, the latter conviction. Yes, Sess was unlucky with injuries, but even when fit, he never looked confident or brave. Contrast that with Lamela who also suffered from many injuries, but when fit, he would give 100%.

I don’t remember the Sess who was dominating the Championship as a child seeming particularly short on conviction - think that’s something that happened to him later, whether down to injuries or mental health or who knows what.

Just watched his interview on spursplay. Amazing attitude. Likes being captain. Knows he can help the team.

I love him already. 😍

VDV and Perr Schuurs just followed each other on IG. I know both are Dutch but there can be something more than that.
If we sell CB then maybe Schuurs is the addition?
