If he's scared of a footballer, what's he going to be like when he's doing live fire exercises on his national service... he'll probably faint lol

I think he is a player with excellent football brain but with pretty average technique (except shooting). He cannot really break through well-organised defence. He performs well when the opponents are tired (West ham, last season crystal palace) or shit defence

He made plenty of good runs but was never passed to. We need players who can spot those runs

Yes. His touch is a f*cking joke at times and he ALWAYS ends up on the wrong side of a player when trying to make a tackle. If Son was to bring the ball into play quicker and get at the defense, he'd be 10x more dangerous. It takes him too long to sort his feet out.

Exactly, people forget why he play so well in leverkersen. Hes not messi / bale, he needs a team that knows how to play football

Yep...but also true.
If there is any video evidence of Son getting involved in a 50-50 tackle please do share

I like Son. He's a goal threat so useful to have in the squad. But I think this video simply highlights many of the frustrations people have with him. Good direct runner, nice skill and decent shot. Takes too many touches, checks back too often, doesn't release the ball quickly enough.

The head line can sound a bit misigiving though but a nice and, literally, cute prank by the Spurs on Son.

He get's a goal/assist/deflected cross leading to a goal or wins a penalty at a rate better than once every 90 minutes played. Can't ignore those numbers. I'd like to see him start against Sunderland in a 4-1-4-1 formation. He's erratic but he costently makes things happen.

I think we need to cash in on him in the summer. Am sure we could make a fantastic youtube compilation of him, because he's been MOTM on several occasions this season and rightfully won PL Player of the Month in September. But he's also had several zero out of 10s this season. And one zero out of 10 is unacceptable, but there was yet another one against Liverpool where he was fucking crap. We just don't know which Son is going to turn up and the only alternative we seem to have is GKN who Poch doesn't seem to trust to start games.
All of our rivals have a fast, skillful attacking forward who causes teams trouble by running at them at pace, in fact some teams even play with more than one at the same time. Son is supposed to fulfil that role in our team and while he's brilliant on his day, he is far far too inconsistent to start for us. We've needed better in his position since Bale left, and whilst I don't expect us to get anyone as good as Bale any time soon I do think it's the most important position to strengthen this summer. And Lamela isn't the answer as even he on top form is nowhere near as good as the players that our rivals have in his position.

I'm not sure what position you mean. Son is a predominately right footed LWF, Lamela is a left footed RWF, as was Bale.
