Mathys Tel Disappointed at Tottenham so far
The latest misconduct of the person responsible is the last-minute transfer from ex-Bayern professional Mathys Tel, who plays on loan at Tottenham until the end of the season for a fee of around 10 million euros including a purchase option of 55 million euros.
Despite frequent missions in the starting eleven under coach Posetecoglou, the 19-year-old cannot recommend himself. He only scored one goal in six missions and remained without a template.
Long with a few transfer misconducts

According to the insider, anything but inviolable for a long time. “This season was an absolute nightmare. Therefore, I would not consider it excluded that long at the end of the season could be released from his tasks very quickly. His credibility is quite small at the moment, ”said Wenham.
Tottenham’s technical director Johan Lange is under massive pressure
Already last summer the Spurs and long had invested a lot of money and Dominic Solanke (65 million euros), Wilson Odobert (29 million euros) and Archie Gray (41 million euros). Tottenham generated a transfer minus of 120 million euros this season. But the new ones have so far been far behind the expectations.
In winter, the club added again with keeper Antonin Kinsky (16 million euros) and Tel. The balance is still sobering. Above all, the fans are disappointed because the winter transfers sold for a long time as clear reinforcements. Shortly after the end of the transfer window, the technical director praised the transfers as “very satisfactory”. But these positive words now result in more and more anger.
