ratings and confidence

I rarely post on here but thought I would in this instance as I have seen a lot of fairly harsh criticism towards some of our newly acquired players. I am going to go through it in list form in a positive manner and try to be as neutral as possible. I am only going to address the ones I have seen take a lot of flack as we have all been on the same page from the start with Paulinho and Eriksen.

Chadli - First one as he has received the worst bashing from the fans on here. He is barely in the door and I keep seeing stuff along the lines of he can't shoot and i don't know why we signed him. This really annoys me as he is probably got in the back of his mind that he is playing in Bales position and although not expected to replicate Bales form he knows he will get stick for not getting off to a flying start. He is big and has shown glimpses of his ability with his immense touch and skill when he has played. I know his shooting hasn't been the best but the out ball he provides if there is nothing going is tremendous. I am unsure if any on here picked up how many aerial battles he has won when playing and took pressure of our front line by doing so. I think there is a lot more to come from him once he gains confidence. Reminds me a lot like Sigurdsson when he first arrived.

Soldado - Great goalscorer and again I don't think we have seen anywhere near his full potential most likely due to a confidence issue. I think it will be after christmas before he works out the EPL defences weaknesses. I don't have much to say on him as I and many others know he will come good and all this nonsense talk of him looking bad is farcical.

Lamela - The thing that has annoyed me most is that in almost every game he has featured he has played a major part in at least one goal and is still adjusting to the EPL. I don't know why I am seeing comments like he looked lazy and he should be starting cups for now. He is absolute class. He has walked through a lot of games he has played and never looked off the pace. His passing was getting labelled lazy also in last nights Anzhi game which was a joke considering they were playing on a solid bumpy pitch. The only worry people should have about Lamela is serious injury.

Capoue - He has looked strong and capable and more comfortable than Sandro and Dembele going forward which is a positive. He can also play CB fairly well which is a positive in a spurs side who seem to off their defense throughout season. We haven't seen his full potential yet because of that fat Adam Sandler lookalike landed on his poor leg but he looks exciting and there is plenty of minutes going on pitch when he gets back.

Chiriches - I really really hope this guy has more to come. He is the only signing who has worried me at all of the newcomers. He looks "very" comfortable on the ball, maybe a little too much although this may well be in efforts to impress the manager. His challenging for headers in Villa game were very mincy and weak but I don't wanna pass judgement after just two games so lets see what is to come.

In conclusion, I have seen a lot of articles on here when these players were first arriving preaching that we may not see the players full potential until next season. Now after 10 games or so and only having conceded 2 goals. I am going to emphasize that. Tottenham Hotspur have conceded just two goals in 10 games and there is negativity on this board. How that has come to be is extremely peculiar. The thing a lot on here have to remember is how long did players like Modric and Bale take to settle and produce the goods and at least apply that time limit to any of our players and to hope they turn out half as good is already a great thing to look forward to.

The future is bright.
