He likes swearing at and being rude to people?

We do need some more nasty in team!
Normally I would gripe about people using offensive instead of attacking but it's just way too funny.

He’s the new Eriksen - in terms of how many people on SpursCommunity spell his name correctly.

Is it just me but I'm pretty buzzing to see this guy play for us.


Genuine questions.

Is he suited to PL football?

Is he better than other members of our midfield?

If the answer to either of those questions is "yes", how can anyone argue against the potential signing?

I’ll admit I haven’t seen too much of him but it seems strange the amount of flak he’s getting in some quarters for someone who has won three titles (as a regular starter) by the time he’s 24.. he must have been doing something right to play that many games for Juve since a young age?

It looked like Villa wanted Bentancur to replace Luiz who Arsenal wanted.

Now we look to be securing a del for Bentancur, I'm not sure Villa will want to let Luiz go.
Depends on the value they want from him. 18 months left on his contract, not interested in signing a new one, villa are safe for the season, and I doubt they'll challenge for European places. If they don't sell now he could lose a considerable amount in 6 months.

I won't lie I don't know much about the player, and whenever I've seen Juve, or Uruguay play he's never stood out (Maybe he's one of those unheralded types who you only appreciate when they don't play), but for the fees and wages involved he's almost risk free.
You don't play regularly for Juventus if you're shit.

This is what De Ligt said when asked about which players had suprised him after his first year with Juve

“So I’ll say there are two other players who struck me: one is [Paulo] Dybala, who has truly stunning technique. The other, and it might sound strange to some, is Rodrigo Bentancur, a player with truly amazing technical ability. He’s quite underrated. He’s a great player with a great future ahead of him.”


Deligtful :cautious:
