Matters arising. As I continued to speak about the impressiveness of Tottenham's business, I was accosted by a Tottenham faithful. Hear ye him.
"First three(Perisic,Bissouma,Forster) are very good signings, but Richarlison and Lenglet are not in my opinion. Being Brazilian is not enough. Nigerian striker from Watford Emmanuel Dennis worth only 14 million Euros had similar or even better stats than him:

14 million Euro against 60 million pounds it looks like someone overpaid in epic way."
Has Emmanuel Dennis played in the premiership for a team over the last 5 years?? You are only basing your stats on one season. Plus it is the one season that Everton were useless. Watford were even worse I am afraid but the Brazilian actually saved Everton. The same can't be said for Emmanuel.
That's some point– "the last 5 years". As for saving,Dennis was even more than what Richarlison was to his team. Watford's EPL exit doesn't mean Dennis didn't save them,much like United's date with the Europa doesn't rubbish the fact that Ronaldo consistently bailed them out of trouble. He was a success even if United wasn't.
Anyways you should be addressing these to your colleague. I happen to send the link of your post to him and see his reply:
"I've read that article. I wish I am wrong and he's right, but I still have doubts about both. I think Richarlison is player who will first make you jump from the seat with one or two good moves, but just when you expect something big like goal or crucial pass will come he'll make a beginner mistake and then fall and make you fall back in seat angry. About Lenglet I think he can make good long passes, but his defending is, to put it nicely, just not good enough. There is still hope Conte can make them better than they actually are."
Once again,you guys are not exactly on thesame page and as a neutral I think he has made some valid points.
I'm just thinking how I can link you guys together, you can feel his passion for the club. I'll send this your reply to him.
I think you guys need to now pay me for doing this middle-man kind of assignment. 🙂
Cheers
