00:00What should Mathistel do? Leave Tottenham on loan? Leave Tottenham altogether? Or stay at Tottenham and try to establish himself?
00:05I see a lot of people hastily explaining that Mathistel is overrated, he's rubbish, etc., the Bundesliga and all that, I see a lot of things about him.
00:14We must remember one thing, which is that this kid rose extremely quickly.
00:17Remember, he was trained at Rennes, he started at Rennes, but he was transferred for almost 40 million euros to Bayern Munich, without us even really seeing him in Ligue 1.
00:24And remember, at Bayern, on the surface, it seemed to be working quite well. There were 16 goals in 83 matches, so obviously, he came on as a substitute often.
00:30When you're a young player at Bayern, even just coming on satisfies you, and then you give it your all, and as a result, you manage to score goals.
00:35And the thing is, there's a difference between being a really great player at a great club who is able to play a lot of games, and a player who manages to have good performances here and there by coming on for 10-15 minutes.
00:43Perhaps he wasn't good enough to be a starter at a really big club, but he had a good balance at Bayern, he came on as a substitute, he was kind of a great sub.
00:49Except that he, of course, wanted more playing time, he was loaned to Tottenham, the first loan was not exceptional, but it was still encouraging, plus he is a young man, so you know very well that there is room for improvement, etc.
00:59So, the following summer, Tottenham bought him permanently, except that in the Premier League, it's the same, he plays bits of matches here and there without anything more.
01:05But above all, remember, he wasn't even registered for the Champions League, because Tottenham had piled up the forwards a bit.
01:11The only moments when Matistel could breathe a little easier were in hopes.
01:14So since January, things have been a little better, he's had some playing time, he's had some pretty good performances, and above all, Thomas Franck, in a press conference, more or less explained that there was a place on the left.
01:23You know very well that Matistel can technically play as a number 9, but also on both wings, even if he is more left-sided than right-sided.
01:29Now the question is, what should he do for his career? Should he try to establish himself at Tottenham?
01:34But after a year spent there, well, I'm not very, very confident.
01:37Should he be loaned to a club with a better environment for him, to progress and then arrive at Tottenham with more tools?
01:42Or should he leave the London club?
01:44I think a loan, with or without a purchase option, is still the best option for him.
01:47Because we also have to consider that there is a lot of competition at Tottenham, he may succeed on loan, but it wouldn't necessarily guarantee success if he returns to Tottenham.
01:53So why not loan him out with an option to buy, which would be discussed between the club that will acquire Matistel, Tottenham, and the player himself?
02:00So why not loan him to a good Ligue 1 club, for example?
02:03Or lastly, if the player wants to stay in the Premier League, well, there are clubs like Everton, for example, who need a number 9, why not?
