If you can not see De jong will be far superior player to Dier then you’ve never watched him play 90 mins. He’s actually a DM/CB who creates goes past people for fun.

In the Dutch league. Dier has done it in the Premier League, Champions League and is a full England international. It's fashionable to bash Dier, for some reason, but he is a fucking good player. It's actually embarrassing how underrated he is by some of the posters on here. I can only assume you've never watched Dier play 90 mins.

I have seen De Jong play a few times actually and I do rate him, but slagging Dier off for no reason is prick-ish.

I’m not bashing Dier. He is good at what he does and a very useful squad member. But he is very one dimensional imo. De Jong is just another level. He literally can play anywhere on the pitch and not look out of place. He’s an exceptional talent and whoever gets him will be very fortunate.

if Malcom's in I'm wondering who is out. even Chelsea don't bench this much quality.

Three from the following:
Mohamed Ali,
Sony Ericcson
Son Ming Vase
Liza Lamelli
Bobby Zamoura
Malcom X


I can't see 3 of the 6 happy being on the bench (or even making it).

Malcom X will bring the sniper out in Kane

I think Poch is leaning towards playing 41221 against the lower teams much like city do. Where dele and Eriksen occupy the roles either side of a natural DM. And you then have say Son Malcolm Just behind Kane. Which means you only have Lamela moura on bench. Also means can save dembele for big games.

Re. Malcom making one too many in the pool behind Kane, maybe Poch is thinking about moving Alli back into the Dembele role.

He looked wonderful there against Liverpool at Wembley, and still consistently maintains he sees himself as a midfielder not a forward.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Poch is mulling over whether between Alli and Eriksen we have that Dembele role covered. We know he likes flexibility in the squad.

I’m a big fan of Malcom. Looks to be much more of an all rounder than just an inverted winger to me. He’s got great vision.

I'd still love someone to actually tell me more about DeJong. What type of midfielder is he ? Anyone, someone .......dust....

Have we had any ITK on him? I do like the idea of him coming to us, but trying to understand whether there is any credible links?

If this thread becomes a (poor) version of the ITK discussion thread I'll lock it. Post you wish lists to your hearts content but otherwise.......

In
Malcom
CB from the Ajax Store
Backup Striker
Dembele heir apparent

Out
Sissoko
Toby (seems inevitable)
Llorente
N'Koudou
Janssen

Two other outs that I see as possibly happening:
1) Lamela (love his role on the team but do they trust his health?) - bringing Malcom in, even if Sissoko is sold as well, would probably mean there is no need for another winger. Funds could be used elsewhere.

2) Dele - he just seems not long for Spurs, which is fine...but to me, that means that we should be open to a yuge (talking 150M++) offer if one were to come in. If he goes, that money should be used on competition for Eriksen's spot.
