Vertonghen is really the only one worthy of adoption.
All the others have much to answer for to their adopters.


What you on about? My boy Fazio hasn't done a single thing wrong this season. We haven't lost a game, conceded a goal or dropped a single point in any game he's been involved in. I'm so proud.

I dropped Yedlin off at a random firehouse a few months ago. Too old to abandon? Let's see about that.

Thank you and good night to my adopted son, Super-Jan.
It's been a bumpy ride, but I feel he did me proud during the season overall.
Some fans will always hold against him when he was underperforming,
neglecting that he stuck with the club through multiple managers.
Many forget that he is not only a CB, he is a leader. A marshall of the troops.
I can release him, having seen him redeem his self this season.
Fans who still don't like him are blind idiots.

I'd like to apologise to my adoptive Son Ryan Mason for my poor parenting skills that have led him to go to shit.

I will be sending him back to the agency in the hope that it's not too late for him...

And in future I will adopt someone I care not for...

Erik Lamela's school report:

A -

Much maligned and considered ready for expulsion by many looking on and his teachers part way through last season. A difficult settling in period at a new school meant he didn't show his true potential obviously enough for some blinkered viewers. But evidence of real genuine skill/talent was always there in between the misplaced homework (passes) and occasionally poor decision making.

However this year his work rate and willingness to put it all on the line for his teacher (Poch), leading the charge and becoming the face of the new 'nasty', committed Spurs team with an incessant work ethic convinced people to re-consider his worth.

With this came a more mature student, taking responsibility- demanding the ball, finding space, playing through some lovely passes between the lines. Coupled with him being the epitome of Pochs philosophy, it must be called a succesful season for him.

The reason he gets the lower A grade is because I believe there is still room for improvement and he can get even better in regards goals and contribution in the final 3rd. He has all the natural ability and the right attitude to just keep going and get better and better.

To reverse the opinions of a base of fans known to be quite quick and harsh to judge, especially when it comes to a foreign big money signing, is no easy feat. Erik has done that.

Lamela has balls.

Massive balls.

Hopefully some of our players take that lead.

Good season Coco.

Son: C -

Been a tough one for Son. He started so brightly and lit up the pitch but with most long term injuries he came back an underperformed.

What we can take from this that team mate, Dembele, had the same issue when he wasn't quite himself when returning from injury and had a horrid time but now is one of the most important players at the club.

I have high hopes for Son and hope he can push on and be a great influence next season.
