Contract rebel and arguably the weakest player in our AM trio (vis a vis Alli and Lamela)?

Outside of Lamela and Eriksen I don't feel like we have much creativity. Generally we're very easy to sit back against. We don't have the player that can either put the ball through a non existent gap or someone who can take 2 players out of the game through dribbling. The extremely exciting reaction from most towards Gotze is that he is both.
Eriksen went through a lull last season where he was quite clearly knackered and we suffered as a team. This season it will be even worse where he can't be rested from the early European games.

Only maybe? I demand a tricky wideman!
Because it's pre-2012 and we still play with widemen?

Do you sit in block 40 by any chance?

It's all true. Van Nistelrooy, Kuyt, Suarez, Eriksen and Van Persie all went to top clubs. What Winkel thought he was doing going to Norwich is anyone's guess.

Could do with one to change a game.

The only widemen we use are our fullbacks.

Stats aren't everything, but eriksen has 21 combined goals and assists in 35 premier league games, alli 19 in 33 and lamela 14 in 34. All three hugely contributed to our creativity last season...

Probably making a lot more money than he had made with any of his previous clubs. That's the most likely reason. When clubs like Norwich can pay that much, it just shows how much money there is in the Prem.

We shouldn't entertain selling any of our first choice players, even if you believe (mistakenly imo), that they are the weakest.
The idea of improving is getting serious competition for the likes of Eriksen, Alli
and Lamela.

Eriksen and Lamela new contracts are key this summer though, along with Kane and possibly Lloris and Vertonghen.

Looking ahead to this season I feel this guy's going to give us some great moments. Late goals in tight games when he's brought on to play up with Harry and we're throwing the kitchen sink at the opposition. Just feel it in my bones.

We can't let any of our key players run their contracts down, but I don't think we need to panic just yet.
Vertonghen is a strange one though as it feels like he's been in talks for a new deal for years.
