What an amazing young player this guy is.
It did not strike me until I saw him in the flesh vs WHU that he's actually quite tall and well built. But the lad has pace and strength, he holds the ball very well, he is superb in the press and has won the ball back up field plenty of times, a good few leading to goals.
He just seems to make good decisions with the ball at his feet, passes well, good runs into the channel. I am so impressed with him, he's been amazing for a 20 year old, new to the league.
What a find for £15m, and according to Fab Romano, he's just signed a new long term deal

If he carries on at this rate it won't be long before the Likes of Madrid and Barcelona come sniffing around .

exactly why we need to be proactive with contracts, like we were with the likes of Kane, Deli and others as they developed.
Players like Bissouma(27)will have 2 years left come the summer and is only on £55k. Someone like Utd could easily turn his head with mega wages, so as much as anything its reward from us and recognition of his importance. We can certainly afford to pay him more than that!

Judging by IG posts he seems fairly happy on that as he can afford to keep Louis Vuitton in business.
Devon, you love to reward players with bigger contracts after a few months! Chill man

So you must be annoyed we've given Udogie a new deal after a dozen games or so?

No, if the club thinks he is worthy of one, then I'm ok with it. You wanted to hand out new contracts at the end of Oct lol.
Tbh Sarr is probably thinking he is due one as well.

You seem to have forgotten that back pass in the West Ham match!

When you look at some of the buys our dodgy old DoF brought in from Italy..
Vicario - superb so far £17m
Bentancur - top class CM £16m
Udogie - brilliant beginning to his Spurs career £15m
Deki - really good right or central attacker £30m
4 top drawer players for less than £80m. Throw Bissouma into that and we got 5 really good players for the price of one Rice or Caicedo

good point

No i didnt. I was saying we should start to look at securing this core long term. These things take time so it was never about handing out contracts in October, it was about discussions.....oh and guess what, we've gone and done it with Udogie and I am sure every fan, with may be the odd miserable exception, is delighted about it
The risk is that come the summer we just have all our top players sold by the media. It would be nice to go into the summer with the key players who we want to be the core for the next 5 years + committing to us and us committing to them. Nothing says, Not For Sale more than a player with a new contract (except Robbie Keane!!)
When we did things well under this ownership, we had well sourced, young talented players, hungry, energetic, willing to learn and grow. We gave them decent contracts and as they grew we gave them better contracts and that group grew together and we marched up the league and to a UCL final. We have started to act in a similar way again. The recruitment has been more focussed, the approach is more modern, the age of the team is much lower and we are beginning to reward good performers.
When we opened the new stadium we thought we could act in a different way, but it just hasn't worked for us so I am glad we are getting back to what we have done well in the past and that includes taking on young talented players and rewarding them and creating a core that will become the centre of this team for years to come.

I want you to read that again and make sense of it. How paranoid are you? Scared of some hack linking one of our players to another club lol. What is wrong with you? Grow a pair Devon.
Udogie's new contract is worth €2m a year. That enough for you?
