Spurs TURNED DOWN Ollie Watkins and Jarrod Bowen! | Musiala to Man City?! | Premier League News

[@RhythmicEye]

It just dawned on me that you're the real life "Where's Wally". Love your work Barnaby, you're a good man.

[@andreaspantelli3599]

Ffs 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@bosnianstar572]

It sucks that someone like David Pleat isn’t around these days to uncover some more of these diamonds. The worst part of it all, is that our negative fans would bash the club and say we’re not ambitious for signing the likes of the players he had discovered.

[@CalebIdan-iq4rk]

thanks barnaby

[@larondeb782]

Not putting all our eggs on Solanke. Sorry! He's going to have to show us what he will do. Saying and doing are not the same. Look at his stats. He's had ONE good year!

[@eldante4139]

Thanks Barnaby, good having the live watch along at the weekend. Hope the party went well and that you enjoyed your weekend.

[@TribalScan.]

I remember being linked with Bowen when he was at Hull. Didn't think much of it at the time, I must admit, and no different now all. Im more pissed we never pushed for Grealish at Villa before their new buyers came in.

[@DJ-yu9gk]

You are wild. Bowen 2nd best rw in league. Behind salah.

[@DJ-yu9gk]

And saka sorry as well.

[@dazspurs9899]

We had a black and yellow away kit in 2015 with under armour I still have it

[@jashraf255]

Just goes to prove that Levy ovverides all these DoFs he hires

[@simonpendergrest7078]

Pleat was a scout I believe

[@AminCorea]

Under Enic it will be hard to win any trophies.

[@RAJ-Jamcal]

We passed on a few players who have since had time to develop at their respective clubs. If Spurs had bought these players, Spurs fans won't give them enough time to be who they are now. Thank God Kane proved a lot of people wrong when some folks thought he was a one season wonder

[@markbrett2969]

Black away kit - 2011-12 (Aurasma) 2014-15 (AIA) Just looked at my son's wall chart...

[@mikebarrow157]

Ta for the reference, Barnaby! (Wales vTurkey) 😅

[@diggeroldmate8122]

We need to score from a variety pf places. In the air, crosses etc. Can't be too predictable.

[@yidArmy102]

Great content bruverr, just discovered your channel. Thank you. #COYS

[@mohashim5524]

Big up Barnaby mate. Thanks for the promising content. To me it’s not a question of whether or not he’s the right man. Let’s ponder back to the end of last Season. Ange foresees the need of a Striker and Don Solanke is his choice (if i’m not mistaken) as we’re atm fighting on all fronts. At least since Kane, we have a recognised Striker signed. Let’s enjoy this phase of a fresh brand new Season not forgetting some bumps along the route to Glory. I welcome the Black Away kit for next Season and we COYS 👏🏻.

[@coolguy9616]

I agree that this season there is LOT riding on Solanke. He has to be the difference maker for us or else we need to hit the january window hard

[@mattbyham7362]

Shots from outside the box yes...Sonny needs to be created space more for these as he has a wicked finish from both feet as we all know!!

[@DavidEbikeme]

Theory can only take you so far- that's how I feel about data driven approach. On a different note whats even funnier that Ted Bohely almost bought Spurs. Everything was pretty much agreed, but Daniel Levey (thank god!) didn't want to give up his role.

[@rudrake1923]

Jack Grealish and Bruno Fernandez also I think 🤔 Plus loads more I bet 😂 plus all the ex spurs players who left and went onto win a shed load of trophies 😭😭😭

[@guamie]

We passed on Eze, when he was at QPR.

[@yidArmy102]

Teddy Teddy Teddy Sheringham!!!

[@seane.j.daniel6999]

Hi Barnaby, watched Kulu vs Estonia this week a couple times , Maddison needs to be replaced as Vice Captain and starting 10, or at least rotated with Maddison as Kulu really is more a provider than a scorer

[@harveyfuqua6633]

We are putting all our eggs in the Dominic Solanke basket. The pessimist in me says we are gonna be disappointed. He didn't score against an atrocious Leicester with all the chances he got. First impressions last.

[@ulsteryid7627]

Don’t Believe that villa were willing to sell Watkins

[@simonpendergrest7078]

Watkins was at Exeter lol

[@ulsteryid7627]

@@simonpendergrest7078 so then it’s no big deal really is levy supposed to know if players are going to be successful I’m not a levy fan but this is bs we all are experts in hindsight

[@lewisunderwood5248]

We scouted watkins when he was at brentford - we wouldnt pay the asking price but villa did.

[@lewisunderwood5248]

@@ulsteryid7627 Agree it is hindsight but the point is that we did make bids on watkins but wouldnt pay what brentford wanted at the time, we also scouted eze, bowen & toney. The combined total for buying those players would have been less than what we paid for n,dombele. Its operating a bit like brighton and crystal palace do but you dont see them making huge losses on players like levy does. You can see by the clear out how much money levy has wasted .

[@ulsteryid7627]

@@lewisunderwood5248 we have lost big money recently through bad recruitment on talented players that have the wrong attitude or just can’t perform in the prem but fans need to stop spitting their dummies out when we don’t sign who THEY want and have to realise these so called targets have to want to come to us as well frederico chiesa being the last example

[@marcusbetteridge764]

We could have had Grealish for 7 mill,I rest my case.

[@voldr0n]

This guy, how many players did he recommend that we bought and haven’t worked out? He fails to mention that ? The old school way of scouting is outdated. Pray that your scout gets lucky is not the way

[@marcusbetteridge764]

Levi has no idea what a good player is,he's lost millions on transfers and is set to lose millions more.

[@stephensmith4240]

Great content as usual Barnaby. Your England watch along at the weekend was very entertaining and made the 2nd half bearable. Interesting hearing David Pleats comments too. Currently the best KZbinr covering THFC content and my go to for Spurs news. COYSX!

[@sebseb8643]

Yep favourate Spurs content guy. Good cadence, good points, intelligent and doesnt talk about holidays, films and his dog!

[@GarryShields-d8z]

Great vid Barnaby. Actually lovin your channel more and more, commenting not just the Spurs but across the Prem. From Australia.

[@Punslinger1005]

I’m happy with Solanke because Ange wanted him. David would have been nice, but having him as our main front man would have been a gamble.

[@lewisunderwood5248]

Old news barnaby ! we scouted watkins, bowen, eze, toney just to mention a few and decided against signing them while they were reasonably priced ! He,s good our chairman isnt he ?

[@diggeroldmate8122]

We will definitely start converting once the dynamic settles with new players. When we start converting, look out.

[@craigbowler5248]

Big chunk of context left out of pleats comments, every club has stories about players that slipped through the net, it also conveniently leaves out all the players that were recommended that never came to anything.

[@aslaninfinity]

All clubs turn down deals with great players. I don't see anything new.

[@genesisfox9]

Pity they didnt turn down Johnson, Werner and Sowankey.😅😅😅

[@krisorgan]

Didn’t Pleat lose his job for curb crawling? Love what Pleat did with Dele, giving him his reports. Nice touch. Great video Barnaby my son.

[@genesisfox9]

You cant say that to Barnaby Bollocks ! 😅😅😅

[@boogiewookie77]

Remember the film Nutty Professor? Where they chant Hercules Hercules around that flatulent dinner table? That's my house when Barnaby drops one. Barnaby, Barnaby!

[@danielhewson8866]

We're seeing what we didn't see last season. Shots from the edge of the area or outside is a valid tactic since it tends to draw defenders out of the low block and opens up space inside the area. The only trouble is, most have been wayward or blocked. Just a matter of practise. In any case, blocked shots can also be a frequent source of chances created because it can result in deflected goals or rebounds to one of our other forward players.

[@theimmaculated6480]

Stats are one thing but when you watch the games those “shots” were tame at best.

[@eldante4139]

I think we need to set up Son for the long shots from outside of the area

[@nosherz]

Solanke only scored 14 last season, if disregarding the five he chalked up against sides with leaky defences, in or around the bottom four. Maybe him, Richie & Johnson might score as many between them, as Haaland does in half a season if we’re lucky 😊

[@thewrights-p6y]

For every Ollie Watkins or Jarrod Bowen , there’s a Gareth Bale or a Harry Kane. DL is ultimately doing a pretty good job , it’s now down to the FA to call out the FFP breach clubs - if they have the guts to….

[@jacklegros6614]

No the number of quality players overlooked by daniel levy under enic and the poor substitute signings is not acceptable!! That's exactly why we are never able to compete for honours!!

[@craigbowler5248]

@@jacklegros6614what is the number of players that were recommended which never came to anything at all ?
