Lucas Bergvall

I think we'll effectively swap Gallagher for a homegrown RB in January or next summer. And 5 CMs, if we are in Europe, is perfect

Gallagher will want to leave if he is not first choice. Probably be a Loan at first though.

I am not the biggest Bergvall fan and do not see the hype with him. But I'm also not a professional scout or manager so obviously I am wrong when multiple managers keep praising him. For Spurs sake, I hope he turns into the player these managers keep believing he can be but so far we have not see it.

The start of this season has been dreadful, especially for a player who is needed and was given a big chance to stake his claim in midfield.

Its been awful all round from most players, some of which we have backed handsomely financially, I will give a 20 year old lad the benefit of time

I'm not talking about finances, the numbers in the sport are outrageous. Good for Bergvall getting paid, I'm all for people earning money to support themselves and family.

The reason I would judge Bergvall harder (Same with Tel, Richy, Gallagher and a few I'm sure I am missing) is he had plenty of time off to recover, is not coming back from a long injury and you would expect him to be one of the better players in those first few games. Instead he was possibly the worst player for us in both games.

I agree, the rest of the players have not been too great either but they at least have a small excuse for a few games (new to the team, injury issues).

You do know that asking some fans to do that does not compute.

So the reason he wanted to go was money then.

Sorry....Didn't read that bit in the article

My point is we have paid alot of money for alot of players and seemingly going after Bergvall for the poor start seems odd to me.

I get that kind of but for my reasons listed above, the expectations were higher for him. At least to me. And I'm not judging him just off these games, I have been losing faith in him, along with a lot of other players the last two seasons.

He's no different than Sarr to me. Both could be good but I think need a fresh start somewhere else.

You basically expected a 20 year old to carry a still disfunctional team. OK then...

I never said that. I never mentioned results or anything of the sort. But I would expect a player with his experience to not make the same mistakes over and over without looking like he's improving.

Who has? its the game we literally have over paid for everyone this summer and everyone is on board, this is a consequence

I'm not really that bothered by how much we are paying each player individually, I just don't think Bergvall has done anything to earn pay raise in the time he has been with us. I suppose if he was very low paid relatively speaking then maybe he's now on a par with everyone else.
