Lennon. Most definitely not Chadli.

I don't understand why so many seem to want Nacer out. He's our only natural winger with end product. Definitely one of the most baffling viewpoints on here.
I'm a huge fan if chadli, but if you buy wellbeck someone has to go, and chadli isn't going go get much game time. Lamela,eriksen and Kane play no10, wellbeck, Townsend, eriksen play on the left of attack too

Has to be Lennon for me. He's not actually that bad, but he's just worse than everyone else and age isn't on his side unlike Townsend.

We've rejected bids for Townsend and poch says he really likes him. Surely lennons times up

I think there would be more interest in Townsend...younger etc.

I also don't think Townsend fits Poch's system at all. Certainly not playing the way he has been.

Southampton using him in a 4-3-3 is my guess.

Chadli can still do a job on the right hand side. He may not have as much quick as Lennon but his end product is a lot better. I think he can do really well this year. He's also able to play central too, anywhere in the 3 behind the striker which makes him a useful squad player.

My only point is we have alot of those. Some need to be sold

Chadli had 1 goal and 3 assists on 33 shots in the league last season, for the end product crowd.

I'd much rather keep him than Lennon as well but let's settle down a bit he is still a huge question mark

Welbeck would be great addition for us;

Kind of unselfish runs& passes he makes, would really help us. I think of the yard of space he could make for Lamela or Eriksen - could be difference in scoring IMO.

Lloris,
Dier, Fazio, Vertonghen, Davies
Capoue, Bentaleb
Lamela, Eriksen, Welbeck
Ade/Soldado

Just read (I know it's made up) that Poch would look to use him at CF. If that's the case that would completely put me off this. Not only do I not rate him there I think that could be it for Soldado. If we were to replace Lennon with him as part of squad and option for wide forward I'm all for it, as a ST think it be very poor business.

That part sounded like pure speculation to me - however it would be useful to have that option, for example when Ade is off to AFCON. Might free up Kane to develop as a 10 or second striker which IMO is his better position.

I just can't see us going into season with Adebayor, Wellbeck and Soldado fighting it for one position. The link worries me if there was something in the minor AC Milan Soldado rumours. I think we'll have two strikers and Kane as 3rd choice and versatile option.

1 goal 3 assists is still more than Lennon and Townsend!

Whether its Remy or Welbeck, it would be for LWF. Forget what 'reports' say.
Poch played Jay Rod predominantly in LWF with Lambert interchanging in the game for CF.

So, I would think, we would be fluid as well - with Forwards interchanging positions in the game, yet keeping the shape
