It won't happen because it's too much of a risk, but Fekir is available and would singlehandedly provide additional cover for Kane, all of the AMs, and another option in central midfield. He's also fucking class. With that one addition we could ratchet up the competition at every position outside of defense.
Fekir can play all across the attack as well as in CM so I'm not sure what's funny. Obviously Kane will always play when fit, and perhaps it'd be more accurate to describe Fekir as a flase nine when he plays up top, but it'd still give us another option in case of injury.
Good post. Yes, this does feel like a bit of a crossroads now where the 'project' for want of a better word might fall apart or have to be restarted and would that be with Poch if he doesn't think that the club are showing ambition?
I think if a club came in for poch one that has money to back his ambition or one that just literally backs him, the club may then have a struggle on it's hands to keep him you would feel.
Have you supported spurs for long by any chance.
Wasn't the reason Fekir didn't sign for Liverpool that he wasn't able to pass a medical due to his old injuries?
Wasn’t really clear, read some reports that Aulas tried to change the deal last minute. Could be he failed medical. He’s a hard negotiator, and a little nuts.
Care to elaborate?
There were reports of that which is why I said it would be too much of a risk for us. He's made 40+ appearances in each of the two seasons since his knee injury but there were definitely question marks over his medical in the summer. Probably not a realistic option, but one that would address the areas that the poster I was responding to was asking about.
Fantastic post, but also one that does little to alleviate my four a.m. night sweats
