He may not have been the best keeper in the world, but during the mythical early Ange run, he was arguably our best performer.
Of course, teams soon started to exploit his weakness from set pieces. But he was still capable of a spectacular save.
Even last season he started really well. One goal conceded in the first three games and some insane performances.
It suddenly dipped after Christmas, though. Mistakes felt weekly, and he just couldn't seem to make a save.
He actually ranked last of all recorded PL keepers for save percentage in 2025/26.
But I think a lot of us had a suspicion that he wasn't fully fit. I do think the sudden dip in form was at least partly due to the hernia.
It's another case of Vicario giving too much. Remember the City 4-0? Vicario broke his ankle and played 60 minutes on it!
You could never question his commitment. In the end, it may have cost him his place. Who knows, if he had surgery sooner, he may have even reclaimed his place last season.
*Personally, I'm happier to have Kinsky, he's brilliant.
But Vicario departs with a sense of tragedy around his Tottenham story. It'll be difficult to put the mistakes and poor form to the side, but I will make sure to remember him as someone who truly would have given everything for the club.
I wrote a longer piece looking at Vicario's time at Tottenham, including his struggles and how his determination eventually hurt him here: https://toomuchtottenham.substack.com/p/guglielmo-vicario-tottenham-juventus-legacy?r=76b9w8
Been over a year. Had felt longer
Both now in league one what happened to their careers once playing champions league football
Could anyone with access to the exchange tell me if there are any tickets up for the Newcastle game? If there are, what are the prices looking like?
Just looking back at who Thomas Frank selected as his squad leaders and holy fuck in hindsight probably the worst selections of all time hahahaha
​
Given he is not in Citys squad today for the Community Shield I wanted to know everyones thoughts on Savio.
It feels almost like the supporter base at this point have worked themselves into a frenzy. City has done brilliantly creating fake demand. No one else wants the guy, they refuse to sell (even though they also dont want him) so Spurs are left frothing at the mouth for a player who, whilst 22 years old, has never shown much besides the glitz of playing at City. If he was at Brentford he'd be a 30m shot in the dark and reports are we're paying 85m? For Xavi to have a friend?
Its not my money and Im glad we're spending big but City is pulling our pants down. Its like when a club puts a fake line outside to create demand when the inside is dead empty.
Tottenham have reportedly made just £3million in profit from the sales of Cristian Romero and Djed Spence.
Both players were important members of the squad. Cristian Romero doesn’t need to prove anything more about his quality as a player, while Spence’s impressive World Cup performances should have significantly boosted his value.
When we’re paying big money for average players but selling quality players like this for such little profit, what do you think about Tottenham’s transfer strategy?
What a wonderful player good finishing 👏
