i've watched both willian and eriksen probably 6/7 times now. willian has been very impressive, he's quick, the ball seems to stick to his feet, moves around the front 3 positions fluidly and the one thing that surprised me about him is that he works pretty hard off the ball, usually with these "types" of players they'll lose it and stroll back but hard work off the ball sems to have been drilled into him and the rest of the shakhtar players. the 4 goals he has in the cl this season have all been taken very well.

eriksen on the otherhand was practically invisible for denmark at the euros, for ajax he's been a little livelier but i haven't seen much evidence for the hype he's been getting over the past couple of years, it is a very small sample size though so i could well have just caught him on off days. he reminds me a little of sigurdsson.

Eriksen is a really really talented player, and is probably one of - if not - the best player at Ajax atm. The problem he has when he is playing for the national team, is that people expect him to be the center of everything and he is simply not good enough to do so yet + he has way more technically skilled players around him at Ajax. Keep in mind that he is only 20 years old.

Been linked with a kid named Arkadiusz Milik today. 18 year old Polish striker. Gotten a full call up, interest from a lot of big clubs. Apparently had a trial with us a couple years ago.




I like him, though admittedly only seen him in a youtube video. Looks strong and a good finisher. Also has good vision and passing.

I think we really need to buy young talent (the new Lewandowski?) before it costs the 20m you have to pay for established players. I like what we're doing with Falque, Ceballos, Coulibaly, Veljkovic, etc.

Not sure if its been posted on here but JJ said on twitter Willian is our main target in January in response to someone asking him who he thinks we'll be chasing
sounds about right!! chasing and actually getting are 2 very different things tho...

The talk in the Italian media is a swap between Wesley and Pastore though Morrati has come out and refuted it today. Pastore is not getting much of a sniff this season even though he was the main man last. Truth is he is way out of our league :(

Slim Shainy on FTL has a friend who's an agent with close links with Bilbao (he calls him Agent Ceefax for a joke). He posted this tonight about Llorente:
Just spoke to him. Llorentes move to juve is off. He has had a falling out with them and torn up his unofficial pre contract.

Apparently Lorente is a very difficult character but I didn't ask for more details on that.

Anyway agent ceefax hopes to go to Bilbao next week to see if he can revive a transfer to the premiership.

I asked him which clubs are interested, he commented that everyone knows spurs are in the market for a new striker so we have a chance

He also said arsenal is not a possible destination but he didn't say why that was

I know it is only a couple clips but I love the way he uses his body. That is a skill some players never pick up on. The ability to shield can never be overlooked and is what allows the Modric's and Dembele's of the world to keep possession.

I have no qualms with spending a couple on promising youth. Have been an advocate for it and believe it will be the main way we compete.

Ooh, so is the move to Juve permanently off? I hadn't got my hopes up as I thought he was nailed on to go there.

Llorente. I love him.:love:

I dunno, he has a dodgy hair cut, he needs to trim those sideburns!
