He isn't at the moment, but yes the potential is there. If I had both of them in my squad right now I'd pick Shaqiri over Kluivert in an instant. Also, just about every Ajax fan I know has hated the kid for his spoiled and ungrateful behaviour for months now. He's not had a great season, his dad even urged him to stay at Ajax, but the only person he will listen to is his greedy agent. No spine. I'm just glad he hasn't ended up at United.

What a guy.
21 year old who managed to get a total of 1600min of professional football in his career in the dutch league, what am i missing?
Looks about 10 for crying out loud.
Looks like Ozil’s Mum.
I wouldn't mind Boateng. It's good that we're not bending over and running a proper scouting-based strategy.
I think Lenglet is our main target, i feel Alderweirald is priced out and not worth the money Spurs would command.
What's wrong with his 'profile'?
Age, injury record and ability (lack of) in the air, might be held against him. And the price, of course.
'Scouts have reservations about his age / injury record / price', etc, makes sense. 'Profile' seems a little odd to me.
It's definitely an odd choice of word. It could imply something more than playing ability.
Who's not even name checked in the article
I suspect it's just a brief to let Spurs know we're willing to go elsewhere
Could also be news "leaked" to put public pressure on Levy.
So assuming Varane is on the list because of Jose,Lenglet and Alderweirald due to the links, Id love to know who the other 5 are.
Id guess they are seen as realistic targets, no point in the likes of Ramos/Pique being on it (for example).
*edit* never mind the MEN has the list.
For what reason would Lenglet be a target for us? Most people seem to want a CB who is good on the ball. He isnt. He's another CB of the type we have plenty of, a good defender but not better than we have in Smalling and a fully firing Bailly
Judging by the other names mentioned in the article, we're looking for someone who's dominant in the air.
Raphael Varane, Jerome Boateng, Kalidou Koulibaly, Milan Skriniar, Alessio Romagnoli, Jose Gimenez and Caglar Soyuncu, if anyone is interested.
Cannot wait for the meltdown.
Hasn’t he been shit lately? Varane won’t go anywhere, Boateng wouldn’t be a bad shout though.
Shocking if true. Doesn’t have to be Sandro for me but feck we need a left back desperately.Our full back situation is turning in to what our midfield situation was when Feguson left; i.e. utterly shit but year after year we did nothing to improve it.
First sandro rumour than this. From bad to worse.
Ciaran Kelly loves a one word quote attribution.
If we are going to be signing a lot of players, a Bale or a Grizmann too, then left back is low priority. Young isn't as bad as people make out and Shaw is a decent understudy who may kick on.
As for Toby, that reads like we are exasperated with Levy.

And Juventus are no longer considering Darmian and are looking into Cancelo.
Wonder who will blink first?
and bought for 1 euro 3 years ago.
To answer your question. He's the real deal, but needed some time. Not all players develop the same way. Will almost curtain be worth a lot more than 40mio next year.
At least I can go into the season with zero expectations if we go into the season with our LB issue not being resolved. The RB issue has in theory been sorted for the future, but its not perfect either.
Would be a pissing joke honestly.

If we don't challenge next season, he should be sacked.
I'll be so angry if he starts moaning next season.
These days "ok" seems to be enough for United/Mou...
But hey, in the need the journos need something to write.
I don't believe this for a second.
