Not gonna lie - my heart is coming around.
Yes mate, he's winning me over already too.
Thought it might take a couple of games but he speaks very well and seems to get "us".

Ange seems to have something special about him too, for someone who isn't a so called big name, he appears to be able to get to players and what feeds them.

This could well be a very good time for us coming up.

Im back in here for refuge. Part of Spurs twitter is convincing themselves we’re signing Cheisa. It must be silly season.
He is supposedly available after a fall out over contract discussions and Juve being in financial trouble but realistically there’s zero chance we go for him.

Kinda disappointed he should’ve just owned them rather than pretend they didn’t happen but at the end of the day it’s not important
Tbh he should have deleted them a while ago really. At this point your right, he should have apologised and owned them.

I’m not sure he should’ve even apologised tbh, that was where he was then, but that’s a long time ago, we all grow up at some point

I agree with the post above. It’s a silly world where we have to be accountable for every decision moment and action. Let’s be human and grow.

I’d rather they did a promo with Gareth and Madz where they acknowledged it and showed there are no hard feelings.

I feel the more human the players can be with this stuff, the better role models they are.

You have to love the British press.
Straight up muckraking and lurid smears before the ink is rven dry on the contract.

Remember during the Euros a couple of years ago, the media chose to run muckraking stories about Kalvin Phillips' family the first time he was newsworthy rather than say positive things about his breaking out for England. Or even just a couple of weeks ago where the coverage went from "banter lad Grealish celebrates treble!" to "drunken waster Grealish misses England duty!" in the space of 48 hours.

It's just awful.

Pretty sure all the talk about him came from an italian spurs fan on twitter called Jaco Cats who hosts a load of spurs twitter spaces.
Seems a nice guy but is extremely over enthusiastic and has never had any inside information before, so I really wouldn't read anything in to it.

Madders, who give a shit what you wrote as a 16 year old. Let’s make history together buddy and win some trophies for Tottenham.

What a signing, what a player.

Makes sense. I was just now looking on twitter and everyone is talking about him coming and there’s not one remotely credible link. Made me laugh.

Yeah, kids say and do stupid things. I’m so glad there was no twitter or Facebook when I was a teenager for people to dredge up embarrassing posts.

We’d already done the jokey thing with Doherty when he signed so we couldn’t do that again, and I think it’s just better if we and he say nothing at all.

He could have said he hated Tottenham last year for all I care. He's here now and as long as he produces, bovvered!

Lovely business from Levy.
So happy deal got done and not dragging into july.

Really like Maddison and hes just the kind of player we need.

I'm old enough to remember people on this site saying Levy needed to stop messing around and just pay 55-60 mil.

Good analysis video worth a watch.

Good video and he knows what he's talking about regarding spurs.

Him talking àbout the front line is really interesting, I'd love to see us line up like this...

Bissouma
Porro Kulusevski Maddison
Kane
Son

Son staying up top, Porro staying right, Bissouma sitting and Kulusevski, Maddison and Kane doing whatever they want. Could be very fun to watch

Also it's clear that we are missing a left winger. I think that will be a priority after a centre back or two.

Someone who can take people on, in the mould of ASM.

We are going to fuck some teams up this season. when it all clicks especially with Bentancur coming back and getting up to form teams are going to be so miserable picking the ball out of their own net.
