Will we rue the day Levy chose Vicario over Raya?

If we do, it will have to get in line will all the other rued days in the life of a Tottenham fan.

All eyes are on our fabulous goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario as we head into a new season with a goalie that was lauded by many as if they either knew him personally or watched oodles of Italian football.

I’m straightforward when it comes to spending money; when I spend, I feel I understand the value I’m getting. So when I buy a shirt that costs £10, I appreciate that at most takeaway pizza places, that sort of money won’t include sides and drinks. I think my expectations are grounded.

It’s not impossible to find something inexpensive and think to oneself I feel like I stole this, but that’s not a common experience.

Many fans are convinced that Vicario is either top drawer or will come good when he gets accustomed to his new team.

At a cost, which includes add-ons, of just £17.2 million, this is a player that is not quite a £10 shirt, but we know that Raya who we were close to signing, has been loaned to Arsenal and is now valued at £30 million. Details of Raya’s extension are reported here by Sky Sports.

What we know for certain, is that in our fractured preseason, Vicario has looked unconvincing even against mediocre opponents.
