Player Watch Player Watch - Lucas Moura

[WiganSpur]

No one's said that we no longer want Malcom.

Exactly, all the ITK we have so far has pointed to Moura and Malcom in, and possibly Lamela out.

 

[thinktank]

I’m not a fan of Moura, reminds me of a cross between Dembele and Sissoko.

We need a creative, quick passing player, with a turn of pace who can also get goals.

Imho this is not Moura.

A coutinho type player to take the pressure off Eriksen.

Malcolm would suit us far better.

I fear Moura would be a “cheaper” option but will end up as a waste of money and not improve the squad.

Ratio or gtfo.

Malcom may well go on to be a world beater and a better player than Lucas however anyone thinking that he is ready to be thrown in to the premiership mid season And make a big impact must be deluding themselves.

Moura for a lot less money and more experienced is by far a better option for us now. Wealth of experience and played plenty of times in the champions league.

I really think he can add something to our squad which we don’t have. A big upgrade on sissoko GKN. Njie or anyone else we have signed in last 18 months as a attacking option

Truth is if Chelsea/Arsenal/Scousers signed Moura for £22 mill there'd be a lot on here shouting about why we weren't all over it.

Probably the same posters that are finding fault with him even before he has signed.

 

[glospur]

Not over Son.

I'd really like to see us try something like this:

Lloris
Aurier - Alderweireld/Sanchez - Vertonghen - Rose/Davies
Dier/Wanyama
Eriksen - Dele
Lucas - Kane - Son​

Dier/Wanyama

Lucas - Kane - Son​

I'd love to see that, too. I think Eriksen offers a lot when he sits a little deeper. Dele making runs off Eriksen's deep-lying ability sounds appealing, too. That's an attacking 5 that could really break down a defense.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Biggest concern for Moura's fit here would be his hair. We've got a reputation to uphold.

Dier/Wanyama

Might be the way to go especially for the rest of this season when we are lacking some top quality midfielders. We could also rotate Winks and Dele in there.

Aurier - Dier/Wanyama - Rose/Davies
Moura - Eriksen/Dele - Son
Kane​

 

[glospur]

Lloris
Alderweireld - Sanchez - Vertonghen
Aurier - Dier/Wanyama - Rose/Davies
Moura - Eriksen/Dele - Son
Kane​

I think the Southampton game showed that Eriksen has to play. We dont have anyone else in the squad who can do anything near what he does. While, for his faults, Dele is just too productive to leave out.

I dunno. it'll be a tough one, but that's what we want. We want it to be difficult, freshen us up, and give us depth and options.

Maybe in home games against park buses. This midfield will get destroyed against most quality opponents. Also, if Toby's fit no way he's not starting. As good as Sanchez is, in a back 4 he's not breaking the Belgian connection.

Did they? ITKs said Malcolm, then Moura. Nobody said we're going for both.
As for Lamela - apparently there's interest from Italy, no sign we're willing to sell though. If he can get fit, I think Poch will want to keep him,

Agreed.

I think Eriksen might know a guy

Get on the blower to Eriksen and find out who did his hair jobby.

Any tactical reason why? Or are you just trying to cram certain players in.

Who would want a hair jobby?

 

[Metalhead]

Please don't tempt fate by inserting Moura into your Spurs lineups!!

 

[Capocrimini]

I think this would be a fantastic signing, quick, skillfull, gets goals and is also really smart tactically. Can play wing or AM, so gives us a few extra options when setting out. I cant really understand those underwhelmed by this potential signing, never would have dreamed it would have even been possible 3/4 years ago! COYS!
