Poor man's Victor Moses?! :lol:

 

Very harsh on Victor who has been outstanding this season.

 

Conte has expressed surprise how poorly rated Moses was during his career so far. He has been at Chelsea, Liverpool, Stoke and Wigan and not been able to secure a first team place before this season. Does make you wonder whether some coaches in the game just bury their heads in tactics and fashionable names of the day and aren't that good at assessing players themselves.

 

Thought he was a regular at Stoke? Injuries perhaps?

How did he end up at Stoke on loan in the first place? Underrated perhaps...which was the point in the first place.

Because quite frankly he went multiple seasons not playing very well, he's playing very well now in a role that suits him but that doesn't change that fact.

 

But that's what management's about. Conte hasn't got that many different players to what Mourinho had, but he's been able to utilise them better according to their attributes rather than trying to make them play football to which they aren't suited.

More fool him tbh. Ridiculous transfer. Paid massively over the odds for an average player with a terrible attitude, in a position they barely needed to strengthen, or perhaps rather, whose main attributes weren't really necessary for them to have.

On a Spurs forum there were a few posts about how this was a Levy signing and not a Pochettino one. No idea what that's based on, but if true it might explain the lack of conviction in Moussa's abilities as this is still relatively early for a manager to be writing his own signing off.

 

From the outside it does smack of a manager not happy with a player signed by the Board (and it may not have been against his wishes, i.e. Pochettino might have just trusted Levy and the scouts had done their homework and so didn't mind money being spent on a last minute backup target since it's better than nothing).

Doesn't Levy or the board usually make the decisions at Spurs?  Or did they scrap that model? 

 

I know a lot of Spurs fans and to a man, they almost all seem to dislike Levy and his transfer dealings.
