Would he be seem as a Holtby replacement if we to let him go?
Or the ITK on MS not happening is true
Would he be seem as a Holtby replacement if we to let him go?
As you said we have to have faith in MP! We paid a lot of money last year for 6 players who AVB and TS could not turn into a team?time will tell but not really impressed with this one.... really more useful than what we already have? He is already 24 as well. We dreamed about MM and MS and got Fazio and Stambouli for cut prices. While teams around us buy Barry, Lukaku, Etoo, di Maria, Alexis, Costa, Fabregas or Balotelli we are in for these guys. Nothing wrong with them, but are they taking us forward? Stambouli was a Swansea target. You say its good to find these players before they are stars. But hey, can we allow to give them enough game time if they are not good enough straight away? We have a huge squad. I am still optimistic cause I trust the Poch but if that it is this window I would be disappointed (Dier, Davies would still be good business).

We are the big boys.I can see your concerns - But I believe our better signings over recent years have been one's made like this. We have wasted a lot on over-hyped talent before (Bentley & Co) so paying over the odds on a player (who is at risk of injury just like everybody else) isn't wise when we are looking to build a new stadium and improve the club.
I'm content with our activity this summer -excited even! Throw in another 1 or 2 decent additions like JJ has hinted and i think we'll cause the big boys a few headaches this year

Thing is where does he fit in? Capoue looks nailed on and atm we still have Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele and Bentaleb, ok Sandro seems gone but still is this bloke gonna get game time in front of the others? Is he any kind of upgrade? At least with MS he was an ugrade, but still not a massive one.
I've never seen him play perhaps he's the best thing since sliced bread, just seems a bit of a strange signing imo

I was actually very impressed by Paulinho's fitness level on Thursday.Sandro, Paulinho, Dembele and Bentaleb, if they all stay this window, will be under intense pressure to improve their overall fitness Pochettino style.
Sandro will struggle.
