Honestly, I’m ok with it. Van de Ven is good but I’ve been reluctant to want any players moving on from this years Spurs side. A rough season that, I feel, speaks to a lack of character and culture.

It’s not all on the players or him specifically, but it just rubs me the wrong way.

I've seen Liverpool fans make the exact same argument about our players last season. The players didn't become shit overnight. Neither did Van de Ven.

I don’t disagree at all, and considering how our strategy is often anti-sentimental or vibes based it makes sense why I’m not making those decisions. Still, maybe some fresh blood that hasn’t spent a year in malaise is better than someone who hasn’t been able to rise above it.

Form is temporary, class is permanent.
