If Leeds fans thought having some Americans on their team was too toxic in terms of the shift in fanbase, Spurs are in for something else. Hope they enjoy every single social media post just being a wave of Canadian flags and requests to sign all of our other guys.

Macksam Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 (edited) It's possible he may just ride out his time at Lille and sign a lucrative MLS DP contract as the summer of 2025 rolls in. It's not inconceivable, Messi-mania will be in its third year, with MLS being a highly competitive league as a result from the massive increase in revenues, which will mean going to Europe that isn't the Prem or Madrid/Barca may not even be a step-up from North America at that point.

Fortunately, or unfortunately, we don't have the numbers to be as annoying as American Premier League fans. Well, a lot of their most annoying fans think he's terrible, which he's not, and I'd love to see them get upset that they spent the money on him instead of the brazilian wunderkind du jour, but I mostly want to see David go to Spurs because I think he's (obviously) an excellent player and they are at the level of club I think he needs to play for. Mostly just a gripe towards annoying social media- nothing serious. Also, I feel like our status as a tiny soccer nation with a comparatively weak soccer culture that has produced only a handful of elite players who our fans are very motivated to let the rest of the world know just how good they are makes us even more annoying than Americans. At least they're American- being annoying is the expectation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David needs to play in Europe, what ever happens in the next little while, Spurs cannot guarentee that going forward and aren't now. At least that's the logical reason I give.

I only follow Tactical Manager in terms of US fans, and he's annoying, but I think the CANMNT guys that pop up on my feed are way more annoying, or at least would be to people outside of Canada. And yeah, he needs to play in Europe- is that realistic at this point this season? I don't think Lille's conference league berth does much for him, and if he can sign on with a bonafide champions league team, that's perfect, but I don't think there has been much talk on that front. If Napoli swoop in and somehow sell Oshimen and buy David or a similar team, that's way better, but Spurs is the only big club that has rumors out there, for whatever those are worth.

Hugely biased but Spurs are not a "big" club in the way Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Man United are. It's been 17 years since they won a League Cup. And even if you don't count the Conference League, West Ham has won something in Europe since they have -early 60s. And it is getting crowded in the top 7 these days. If its Juve, where next year, odds on, they are back in the Champions League places, that's one thing. But there are 5 teams with more money than Spurs and some other very well run ones in contention these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, of course not, but I don't know that any of those teams have legitimate interest in JD, which is where I'm at with Spurs. I'd be happy if he landed at West Ham or Brighton or any of those other teams that often end up nearish the mid/top of table, but so far, all we've heard is Spurs or Saudi Arabia, so if he can play for a relatively competitive premier league team, play well, and move on after a few seasons, that would be perfect.

jhoops__ Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I’ve seen a number of Spurs fans that want David so a few either way on social media is not a realistic representation imo. Furthermore, there’s always a portion of any fan base that hates any possible addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were lots, but things need to move or people get desperate and time is running out. Unfortunately Chelsea look like they could use him as well.
