Best Spurs Squad In Years... What's Missing?

[SEANSPURS1975]

If only...

Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dembele, Modric; Bale, Alli, Eriksen; Kane

 

[Wheeler Dealer]

Should we have pushed for Callum Wilson, Benteke or maybe even Lukaku as an alternative to Janssen, as the aforementioned 3 offer pace and power in abundance..

 

[brakefluid]

Nah Modric is too slight for this league and why would we need Bale? We already have Rose

Wilson is just getting back from injury and Bournemouth were reportedly not interested in discussing a deal for less than £25m.

Benteke cost £27m and is on a high wage and the money being asked for Lukaku was ridiculous.

Were we going to spend £30m on a sub? I doubt it. A Dutch international and last season's top scorer in the league doesn't seem a terrible purchase. Especially as he appears to have the skillset required to be backup for Kane.

If only...

Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Ledley, Rose; Dembele, Modric; Bale, Alli, VDV; Kane

FYP .

Sub Eriksen for Lamela, and you have a deal

(Eriksen's freekicking ability and creativity would become secondary to Lamela's defensive capabilities and workrate in that setup, IMO).

 

[Roynie]

A clinical striker is what's missing, someone who has a higher conversion rate of chances and who has the vision to see when another player is in a better position than he is.

That's a slight at Kane right?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Adrien Rabiot

 

[eViL]

Come home Gareth.

 

[Roynie]

That's a slight at Kane right?

Well, it wasn't intended as one, but now you come to mention it, I think we can all recall instances of where he has taken a shot at goal rather than a simple pass to another player in a much better position. Hopefully as he gets more experience he will get better, after all he is still only 23 and in his 3rd season in the 1st X1.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

a true world class 8 or 10

 

[rocklink]

Emanuel adebayor

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Emanuel adebayor

I'm nominating that for the least fun post of the year.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

If only...

Lloris; Walker, Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Rose; Dembele, Modric; Bale, Alli, Eriksen; Kane

that side wins league for me, with maybe Dier instead of Alli
something like ...
Lloris
Walker TA Verts Rose
Eriksen, Dembele Dier Bale
Modric
Kane

I want: 1 worldy CM and 1 worldy AM

But...I am excited to see what we have in Winks, Edwards, Josh and others.

If I could have one player or position filled for this year, I would go for a Modric type player. This season I think we have enough in the Top 4 to get the goals. What we need is a Modric, Xavi, Kroos, Cesc...A player that will get the ball up the pitch to our goal threats.

Edit: I have always wondered why Éver Banega has never been looked at. Even in AVB days with our chase for Moutinho. He is Argentinian, plays a position we need and has been moved for a relatively great price when he has moved. I like him and think he is a steady influence and is just entering his prime.

a Top class creative CM (which i doubt we will ever buy because every top club wants one) & a Fast/Skillful #9

Wouldnt mind a real #10 that could dominate games but we have enough fill ins for now.

I honestly think Winks can be this for us. Given time and games, I fully believe he'll dominate the CM position for us. Can pick a pass, very neat footwork and bundles of energy also understands and thrives in our high press system.

Banega has serious attitude problems... a bit like Boufal, bundles of talent but a giant ass.

I am dreaming of Bale coming back home when the new stadium is set. Would be perfect!

If we have a Hoddle now.
