Tammy Abraham just went for 40 mil. No offense, but Tammy Abraham. He has been benched and had some promising times under Lampard for one season but really?
Chiriches was one of the biggest RUclips highlight reel letdowns I’ve experienced as a Spurs fan. Just look up some older videos of the guy, we thought we were getting Vlad BECKENBAUER.
Being one of the cheaper of the Gareth Bale 7 always added to my love for Eriksen especially since he was not highly touted and was even on the verge of being let go by Ajax, but then became one the best creators in England only behind De Bruyne imo, vital to Poch's teams and went on to win Serie A. I am not a spurs supporter especially after Poch got fired but I have an eriksen shirt and was so devastated watching that Denmark game in the Euros. Stay strong, happy, and healthy King we need you for 2022 in Qatar even if it is just in the stands cheering the team on. Danish Dynamite!
@@sukhdevr3489 Can’t expect Ndombele to put up massive numbers. If you watched him at Lyon he was never gonna be a successful number 10, he’s a number 8 or even a number 6 if there’s someone beside him
I am not here to defend the guy just because he's brazilian like me, but because Paulinho was never used how he was supposed to. Comparing him to Lampard just proves my point. When playing for Corinthians, he was mainly a defensive midfilder who would ocasionaly innitiate transitions to counter attacks with short passes to the wingers, and those were the most giffted playmakers of the team. But here is the catch: Those wide players were technical on the ball yet a bit SLOW. Having such players receiving the ball wide gave Paulinho enough time to move inside the opposition box, for both crosses and through passes. That was lethal since at the time, Corinthians had very offensive-minded fullbacks capable of crossing the ball well, and Paulinho had amazing aerial presence. That team also played slow paced possession football at times, wich only favoured Paulinho's slow tempo OFF the ball. If the team lost possession on the attack, he would then press higher to give the team enough time to recover their positions. Often he'd win tackles in front of the opposing goal, meaning free time on the ball to try those long range shots that seduced many, but that only worked for Corinthians style of play, that created scoring chances down the flanks leaving the middle exposed. It was never the case for the Spurs. Since their wingers were fast paced, they would play on transition, also Totenham fullbacks were defensive minded wich meant little to no overlapping down the flanks, and the worse thing for him was how Premier league teams were obssesed with marking, specially in front of their own box, and that took a lot of space away from Paulinho. But of course, in the end he was never as good as Lampard. If he was, everything would've been fine. But anyway, Tottenham signing him was kinda dumb. They bought a very specific TACTICAL player by only analyzing his NUMBERS alone. I doubt they watched any of the Corinthians matches on that season. They didn't even care to. That's how insignificant our "domestic" football is to europeans, i guess... ;3; But much love from Brazil, Tifo. I really enjoy your videos and i wish you all the best!
@@tipptop9 as a United fan I didn't like the time he got Tony sent off in the 6-1 😅 but yeah he's definitely got that side to him which he takes full advantage of
He doesn't want to sell to City when he knows they can pay his pricetag and still haven't gotten close on any of their bids. He feels that he's being disrespected by City at this point, and I can't blame him.
Lamela's illustration DID NOT look like him 😂 but you guys are great, when a critic starts nitpicking that's how you know you're doing pretty much everything right. Keep it up! Been a sub since 10k
I really want to believe these 7 players meet up every year at an undisclosed location to curse Bale out for linking their names with this transfer forever - preferably over a really poor game of golf. Fantastic idea for a video btw - Kudos Tifo 👏🏽
It's still really shocking how far Gareth Bale's fall from grace has been. Watching that solo effort run that lead to giving Real the lead in the 2014 Copa del Rey Final was so fast that I couldn't believe the pace on him. Now seven years and change later, the man is seriously contemplating retirement once his contract ends. It's a real stunner to me.
Happens to a lot of players. I wonder if it's a mental thing after winning everything and being rich. Or a physical thing where you burn so bright you can't do it your whole career. Examples would be Owen and Ronaldo
@@ritchierich2793 Ronaldo has won everything and played at a high fitness, commitment level etc. That's one extreme where the body and mind are willing. Unlike others whose body and mind let them down

Think the video downplays Eriksen a bit. Wasn’t just a key player for Pochettino, he was arguably Spurs’ best player some seasons even when Kane formally established himself. My memory must also be foggy because I didn’t remember him being on the outs like that at Ajax. I remember, for me, he was by far the most exciting purchase Spurs had made with the Bale money.
When Soldado wasn't working out as a striker, he should've been moved to a creative midfielder (like Fabregas when he was at Chelsea). He had the Spanish style slick passing and touches. Ranking the 7 acquisitions: 1. Eriksen diiiiiiiiisssssssstant 2. Lamela 3-7. Everyone else.
I know you mainly focus on English football but a similar and interesting video to this would be when Napoli sold cavani and bought higuain, mertens, callejon, and Raul Albiol.
Soldado was a great striker back then, his play reminds me a lot of David Villa, he just come to the wrong place and the wrong time, Kane has return that season and just take the wheel as the main man of the team.
Tbf the Bale money was done in installments over four years iirc. So last installment was in 2016. The Bale money boosted the annual transfer budget over that time. In the 2015 transfer window, hey brought in alderweireld, son, alli and others. Over the longer term (which with the super transfers it has to be) it definitely brought Spurs up a level from a one man team to a good team. Until last season of course :p
Nope. The only one who even came close thus far is Neymar. Mbappe MIGHT be able to go close as well. But not Bale. He always seemed like he had the potential to be a great player, but not as great as ronaldo or messi
My favourite was when he missed a tap in that went wide and hit the advertising boards behind the goal and bounced back into the six yard box, he tried to smash it into the goal in frustration and still hit the post.
Sad that Eriksen had to be named in this list of players. Alone, his eventual legacy for the club meant he was worth most, if not all, of the money from the sale of Gareth Bale. Was to Kane what Lampard was to Drogba/what Gerrard was to Torres.
I still think this was good business for Tottenham. They couldn't have replaced Bale with a similar level player. Spurs wasn't a destination for superstars then and it isn't now. So they've bought a bunch of players who could've grown into superstars like Bale did. And I think Eriksen was, even if they didn't turn such enormous profit on him like they did on Bale.
I'd suffer it all again just for that rabona. I couldn't care less about the final result, it was worth the 6 years of waiting and no one will ever change my mind on it.
Tottenham were really unlucky with Paulinho. Even though the comparison with Lampard being outright ridiculous he's been a great player throughout his career tying Neymar for Brazil's top scorer in the 2018 WC qualifiers, and in my opinion the best player I've ever seen in making late runs into the box. Unfortunately for us, he chose financial stability of Chinese football over the spotlight of PL or European football. Anyways, put some respect on Paulinho's name!
Why is nobody able to pronounce Chiriches's name right? It's simple, it sounds exactly like Kiri-kesh, even easier than most of how people try to say it.
The likeness of the illustrations seems to have gone down recently even if the quality is better (look less luke traces). Lamela and Bale were well off.
The thing is Tottenham has problems other clubs in the big 6 don't have. Tottenham is the only big 6 club with an English owner and investor, so they still gotta portray good numbers. They might have bought 7 players there, but the salaries were minimal because the competition was almost none.
At the time, a lot of the players bought were rated as shrewd acquisitions: Erik Lamela - He was starting for Roma in Serie A and very much considered a “wonderkid”. I don’t ever recall him being compared to Bale as they’re completely different. In the end he was a bit of an enigma. Roberto Soldado - A prolific goalscorer in La Liga and at the time, it was genuinely considered a coup for Spurs to sign him. By his own admission, mentally things didn’t work out - but he had the talent for sure. Christian Eriksen - Another who was at the time considered a “wonderkid” and whom Spurs acquired through their close relationship with Ajax. He thrived and fully fulfilled his potential - a bargain pick-up. Paulinho - He was winning rave reviews in Brazil but - like most South American acquisitions - never settled, which quickly dented his confidence. No doubting his ability though, and that saw Barcelona pay £40m for him from China. The other 3 were much of a muchness; cheap enough to pad the squad out and never expected to develop into super stars. Chadli was useful; Capoue couldn’t stay fit and Vlad was only ever a back-up. The real story, is that Tottenham became stronger - and finished higher - after Bale left.
This was a good video, would have liked to know how they impacted Spurs each season abit more tho, like where Spurs finished n stuff like that, ml tho 🙏
I remember the praise they got for the signings they made. Looking back at it obviously a lot of them flopped, but at the time these were wonderul players.
