StuartHaddow 0 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Could defo use him next season, physical and calm on the ball! Would like to see this happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Be surprised if this happens as all the noises Ball has been making have been about returning to Spurs. Maybe the fact we are now almost guaranteed promotion has made him change his mind. I think he would be a good addition and add a bit of physicality to our midfield, which is sadly lacking.

Creampuff 22,628 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Seems to me that he's talking more about bringing him back on loan again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSuedeSambas 53,782 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Can see him coming back on loan again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cumnockbear 2,446 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Won't be permanent, a years loan is a possibility and a good piece of business. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris1984 1,259 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 He's been ok but personally I feel we could do better another loan wouldn't hurt I suppose Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Think he's a cracking prospect in all honesty. Especially for the way we play, more than capable of covering for full backs, wins headers and is very rarely beaten for pace. Looks like a good move if it happened Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeverBlue1872 463 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Really like Ball, never does anything wrong in games and seems to stroll it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellshill_Bear 1,105 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Would love to see him back, looks solid in both midfield and defence. tidy underrated player Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allgers 735 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ball want's first team football and we can give him that. Like to think we will start to develop our own guy's in this way, we have some who would benefit from first team football, Gasparotto must be knocking on the door.

calio 688 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Get him back, he`s going to become both better and stronger over the next few years & I think he feels the same about us too, so hopefully there`s a decent chance. A `no-brainer` if ever there was one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlegKuznetsov 10,816 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I don't see how a loan benefits him or Spurs, as he wouldn't necessarily get any more game time. I like him though. Much more effective than Zelalem, albeit as a very different player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smile 26,606 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Not a player i rate i would have sent him and Zelalem back by now. Murdoch could have done a better job than these two in the Middle, Zelalem started off so well but seems lost now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VladimirWeiss69 802 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Would definitely want this to happen, think he has so much potential and could become a cracking signing if we ever did get him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 If used right could be one of the best signings we could make - ideal against the nappy slashers Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murdoch could have done a better job than these two in the Middle, Zelalem started off so well but seems lost now. Totally agree. I certainly don't rate Ball in midfield as he looks like a centre half trying to be a midfielder. I have not been that impressed with him at CB either. I think the step up a league would not go well for us. Next season we can't afford a centre back on a learning curve. I also agree about Zelalem. Looked really good initially but just goes across and back now. Seems to have run out of ideas. I know they are young players but MW needs to realise that we must start off next season running and not learning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WGOH 2,344 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Think Ball could be a good signing for us, only 20 yo Ideal for dm away from home in the bigger games next season imo. Don't think we'd have to pay anything either would we if he is out of contract? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buggleskelly 3,772 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 He'd be a great signing. Hope it happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prso's headband 35,450 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Ball is vastly underrated. Anytime he plays either CB or CDM he looks comfortable. I said way back in September he would be the one we would have the most chance of signing and I hope it does come together. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz52 11,837 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Wouldn't be a bad thing at all. Must be remembered he's only 20 and at the start of his career and he's already took to playing senior football very well, he will develop in to a solid defender IMO Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,802 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Another loan would be a shrewd move. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryangtd 0 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Spoke to him in Glasgow airport after the Kilmarnock game, he said he couldn't refuse a new deal at spurs as it's a good time to be at the club but at the same time is loving life at rangers. Could see him getting a new spurs deal and sent back up to us on another years loan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
