1.Ali Z "...unlike last summer Poch and Baldini will not look to solve all our requirements at once and it will be a gradual process".
2. Lamela, Eriksen + whoever is playing behind them will be distributing to them with haste.
Lamela and Eriksen are included among those attackers, it's the individual behind them to get it to them he's undoubtedly referring to. Part of Eriksen's problem in the middle is he had no consistent supply of passes in transition to promote him receiving the ball in space. Was far too easy for the quality sides to entirely remove him from the game because all they had to do was keep our two CM's passing horizontally.
The fact that Poch is looking for a LW suggest that he's going to play our most creative player - Eriksen - in central midfield.
We also have Holtby whose agent said today that he's staying.
However, I do think Holtby here may possibly be able to do the job. But there are some very expensive investments he'd be playing over for first choice, and players who would undoubtedly be quick to complain and soon after demand a move under such circumstances (Paulinho and Dembele, assuming both are still at Spurs come September - I do think one will go).
