Yeah I’d rather the club just be honest and say it’s a long term injury. If they genuinely don’t know then fair enough. Much rather they under promise and over deliver than say he’ll be back soon. And I do get that sometimes players have setbacks when it comes to injuries and the subsequent recovery.

Have you considered they are being honest, giving you updates based on how they think the recovery is going at the time of these updates. You say you 'get' that players have setbacks, so where is the dishonesty. Are you upset because things are not to your liking?

He picked up the ankle issue in our first pre-season game (Reading I think?) and still made appearances after that, had to have "minor" surgery over 2 months ago and still doesn't seem close to returning.

Hyperbole perhaps but it just feels incredibly mismanaged.

They tried to conservatively manage the injury to begin with. (Standard protocol)
They then decided it required minor surgery (next step, if step 1 wasn't progressing)
Now I'm hope you're onboard with the assumption that all this has been decided/guided with the in-house medical team and outside consultants.
I'm sure we have world class onsite medical interventions/apparatus to throw everything we can at it. (And stuff off-site, as and when required).

It's nuts some of the accusatory language around this. With no knowledge of what's actually happening.

Dom's ankle will be alright when it is.
And the same applies to Deki's kneecap, another trickier injury for an elite athlete.

I'm hoping the eventual prognosis is good for both them, not when the fudge are they going to kick a ball for my football team again.

I'm glad they got Gray back in just the two weeks though... initial reports was it was going to be longer.😎

I think the issues the club/pr has made is giving updates to fulfil the clamour of media and fans. He will be ready when he is ready with a more structure statement like you have laid out above should be enough for any rational person

Nothing wrong with that logic, although your post does have an air of “Tottenham can do no wrong, can’t question the club” about it. I remember going to the Bournemouth game in August which I believe was days after he picked up the injury and there was chatter around the ground that it was a long term injury which would require surgery. At the time I chose to not jump to any conclusions until we got official word from the club but turns out those whispers weren’t exactly outrageous given we’ve not seen him for 3+ months with no return date in sight. Now it may be the club are just telling us what they know but I’ve felt something doesn’t seem quite right about this injury and the update from TF yesterday hasn’t done anything to alleviate those concerns.

Jeez...you sound like a tabloid journo. Looking for conspiracy or deception.

You got it right in the first sentence. It's logic. I'm not saying 'the club can do no wrong'. I'm saying they are following medical protocol. It is what it is.

I bet the medical staff share your sentiments 'something just isn't right with this injury'

Please tell me what they are doing wrong?.
