Roberto De Zerbi’s decision not to retain a Tottenham player who featured regularly under him last season is already proving to be a smart decision.Spurs have made wholesale changes to their squad this summer and are on course to complete a full rebuild in a single summer.Not only have they cashed in on senior players like Cristian Romero, Djed Spence, and Guglielmo Vicario, who were key players last season, but they also have chosen not to retain two senior men who featured regularly under De Zerbi.Tottenham have not chosen to buy either Joao Palhinha or Randal Kolo Muani, and passing up on one of those players already seems like a smart decision.Credit: @thefrederikkejensen / InstagramFormer Tottenham loanee Randal Kolo Muani blasted by Juventus bossKolo Muani scored just five goals in 41 appearances for Spurs last season, which is why the Lilywhites did not attempt to secure him permanently.The Frenchman eventually signed for Juventus for €50m (£43m), returning to the club where he impressed on loan during the second half of the 2024-25 season.However, Kolo Muani’s second spell at Juve has not got off to the best of starts, with manager Luciano Spalletti publicly blasting the forward after his side opened their campaign with a 1-0 away win at Frosinone.Spalletti said about the 27-year-old after the game (via Football.London): “We pursued him, we nurtured him, and we know his worth, but he must understand that he hasn’t played for two years, and there’s a reason for that.“Sometimes you believe you’re at an exceptional level, but in reality, you’ve let something slip and you need to reclaim it. Kolo can hold the ball, run into space, and is physically strong, but these are the matches where he needs to deliver goals.”Guglielmo Vicario forced off with an injury in his Juventus debutWhile new Juve signing Guglielmo Vicario kept a clean sheet in his first game for the Serie A giants, he was forced off with an injury in the 90th minute after being on the ground for several minutes.Gazzetta dello Sport say that while there were initially fears that the loan signing from Tottenham had picked up a muscle injury, it turned out that it was only a case of cramps for the Italy international.The publication quotes Spalletti as saying about the goalkeeper following the 1-0 win: “Vicario suffered from cramps, one of which was particularly severe. There was a moment when he feared seizing up, so we preferred to substitute him.”READ MORE: Tottenham contacted about signing 16-goal Premier League striker after tribunal dramaThe post It seems Tottenham were right to let two players leave after manager’s harsh comments appeared first on Spurs Web.
