Player Watch: Erik Lamela

[Haddock]

I'm a big fan of Sabitzer. He has all the tools to be an excellent midfielder in the PL.

 

[Mr Pink]

Could have a really strong midfield this season, with a harder mentality as well.

 

[Cochise]

@DiVaio I'd love N'Dombele to come good too, but there seems to be a lot going on to say he won't, at least not with us.

 

[ikky]

We can't sell three of our CM's and only bring one in, we'd be massively light and the games are gonna come thick and fast.
Ndombele and Sissoko for Sabitzer maybe, but we'd need to keep Winks at least.

I didn’t mean sell all 3, I probably worded it wrong. I meant to raise funds ( and space ) those 3 would be put on the to sell list, maybe only 1 would be needed to raise the funds.

Not from any reliable sources, same as about Sabitzer coming here

Don't worry, there's every chance I read it wrong. ?

May be ndombele/skriniar swap and we sell lamela/foyth/aurier/rose and loan sabitzer with an option to buy next year (high loan fee like we did with lo celso) ...

Personally, I rate sabitzer higher than ndombele as a footballer ...

My own eyes as he watched wolves midfield all run past him time and time again is a pretty reliable source. The leeway some people are giving him because he can do a nice stepover is bizarre.

It would be hard to argue against Sabitzer being the form player and the one who's playing at the top of his game. But Ndombele potential dwarfs that of Sabitzer.

 

[Who’s our next manager?]

So yes despite his injuries he has represented Argentina on a number of occasions and therefore has the pedigree that Eze has yet to achieve. I am not saying that we should not buy Eze if JM wants him. My point is that he should not be brought to replace Lamela as Eze is not yet ready. We need to strengthen our squad for next season not weaken it.

But according to reports we have not the money to buy top players and have to sell to buy.Where will the money come from?

 

[Zlatan]

Yes, and Hojbjerg was captain of Southampton, a team full of captains soon enough!

Like the good old Chiriches, Capoue, Soldado days. But yes, I get your point mate.

I have been watching sabitzer for the last 2, 3 years .... He is an incredible footballer ... On top of that, he can raise the game of other players around him ... He is mainly a right winger but nagelsman now using him in more of a central attacking midfield role and sabitzer's footballing intelligence and skillsets good enough to play any kind of role in midfield and forward line ... Such an underrated footballer.

Put simply, if we have a chance to buy one of sabitzer/sms to replace ndombele, we should do it ..

According to transfer market he has 2 years left on his contract,

Marcel Sabitzer - Player profile 21/22

Marcel Sabitzer, 27, from Austria ➤ Bayern Munich, since 2021 ➤ Central Midfield ➤ Market value: £37.80m ➤ * Mar 17, 1994 in Graz, Austria

be a good signing but can’t see it happening

I totally agree. Hes a exceptional player.

 

[coy-spurs1882]

Hojbjerg, GLC, Sabitzer with Dele and Winks able to come in feels good.

Hojbjerg, GLC, Sabitzer with Ndombele, Dele and Winks is better

Not sure what this match has to do with him staying in the club (in that clip defending was awful from 3-4 our players and we just bought a player to break this kind of action).

Now that’s a different problem?

 

[fletch82]

I doubt very much the club is as broke as a certain Mr L would like everyone to think

 

[Cochise]

I mean yeah, but now you're just being greedy.
