Its annoying he obviously isn't fully fit and ready to play which is disappointing because we could have done with a bit more creativity in the side against man u.

I think Gio's an exceptionally talented player but unfortunately he might be a bit lightweight for the Premiership. He was impressive back at Barca, even got a hat-trick for them one game, and he's done well for Mexico but he just hasn't shown that in the few appearances for Spurs so far and hasn't been given enough of a chance. Seems a bit wasteful

To be honest I can't see him having a future at the Lane, much as I'd love to see him stay and the club get rid of wastes of space like Pav, Bentley and maybe even Keano (he's not the player he was). I reckon he will end up going back to Spain, his style of play suits their league.

I was tasked with writing an article yesterday for work (I'm lucky enough to be a football writer) which you can see here:‘The Boy Has Got Skills’ – Giovani Dos Santos | FootballFanCast.com - it basically reitirates what I've said, the boy's clearly very skillful but he may be a bit lightweight for Spurs. I'd still like to see Harry give him more of a chance though. Seems most of you feel that way too

i second that PR, i think he just needs time, seeing him against the US i am frightend everytime he has touched the ball the last 2 times we've played. all he need is to check his attitude at the door and work to get that starting spot. i know once he can get a could couple runs he would fit nicely with us. hopefully though we use him as opposed to just sell off another good talent.

Gio=Lengend. Get him playing and he will produce. i think what he lacks in physicality he makes up for in mentality. He believes he is the best and we need players like that. Peterborough is a good place for him to impress. And even against wolves should if Harry choose to give him a go.! He is the future. We thrive on creative players like he and Modric! And Lennon!!

With Roman Pavlyuchenko already out the door, I think Giovani Dos Santos would be the ideal fourth striker to have around the squad.

The cash raised by getting rid of Pav could fund areas where Spurs aren't so strong - central defence being perhaps the most urgent need at the moment, given that Bassong will be away in Africa in January and Woody and King are questionable because of their fitness.
