Just want to clarify something, because I remember some people saying that Eriksen only had 5 assists last season for Ajax or something like that.
The correct stats are that he played 46 games for Ajax in all competitions, and scored 13 goals and 23 assists. In the Eredivisie he had 10 goals and 17 assists in 33 matches, and a goal or assist every 107 minutes on average.
So just looking at our attacking players, Soldado had 33 goals, 6 assists in all comps; Eriksen had 13 goals 23 assists in all Ajax games, Lamela had 15 goals, 6 assists in 37 games, Lennon had 4 goals and 11 assists, which is 65 goals and 46 assists from 4 of our attacking players last season. So any of you who are still moaning about our team and transfer window just think about the fact that we haven't seen anything close to our best team just yet.

Very fair post and I agree with most of it and about him disappearing in most matches, last season he was brilliant at the end of the season and kind of shunned this criticism as he was controlling matches.
As for him coming here I think he is coming here with a chip on the shoulder as he has been the last toy left on the shelf tbh. Dortmund, Liverpool, AC and etc. all seemed to be interested but instead went for other targets even we did with Willian, this make him want to prove a point and be the making of him imo

Martin Jol likened him to Sneider and VDV.

I think you have got the wrong end of the stick in terms of what he said. When he said there were very few options I think he meant that in terms of clubs he was willing to go to. There was a queue around the proverbial block for him, he just wasn't interested in most moves.

Very much this. From what I heard him say to danish media it was very much about there only being very few clubs he would consider going to, despite plenty of opportunities.

It will be 4-2-3-1 on paper but more often than not the two outside players in the 3 will end up out wide and I think Eriksen is a bit wasted there.
Nice options to have though.

only with more pace, better hamstrings and better with his weaker foot, sounds good!

I can't believe some of you are suggesting we have finally found our set piece taker.
Look at Bentley, Sigurdsson etc. hell even VDV! Everyone knows that once a player gets a Spurs shirt on they cannot beat the first man.
Rubbish. Hudd regularly beat the first man. It's just that he usually beat the stand and the car park as well.
Tekkers.

Get what you're saying about the wide forwards dropping back into winger roles, but hopefully if it's done right they won't have to as the full backs with push high.
AVB plays high up the pitch. With 2 anchoring centre mids the full backs will have cover to go forward. The 2 wide men cut inside onto their preferred feet and assist the central attacking mid with dictating play and finding opportunities for the striker.
Think of how Brazil have been working lately, that kind of system. It's very aggressive and can be risky but when attacking you have a multitude of options behind the striker - the full backs and the 3 attacking mids, plus maybe one of the centre mids making late runs (Paulinho's strength). It does mean though that the defence have to be able to get back quick as opposition will look to counter.
