ROTTERDAM1982 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Don't disagree with that sne.An Eriksson, or someone of that ilk is the kind of player we need. If Joe Cole can last for 6 months, then we could bring in a player, and bed him in, otherwise it might be worth considering a Rosicky kind of player.

VillaChris Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 What we desperately need is a player with real quality in wide positions, who can play for the team but also as an individual and know the balance between the two. Someone with real creative ability, who can beat a player and can deliver a consistently good ball. Townsend really isn't that player, in fact I think he has been one of if not the most over rated player in the league. What we need is a player like Ashley Young but they don't come cheap in fee's or wage's and I'm not sure we've got the money for either but I live in hope. Just using him as an example Glfyi Sigurdsson move back to Swansea for I think 7m (Ben Davies and Vorm moved to Spurs so the overall fee was never revealed). Spurs actually signed him for 8.8m the first time. He was never moving here but if players of that quality are moving for that amount why would it be impossible when we were ready to spunk 8m and whatever else in wages on Cleverley on August 31st? My fear is that Lambert just prefers workhouses in midfield and thinks that by whatever means they can get the ball forward to the front trio then everything is fine with the world. It's not fine when we barely win 5 home games a season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Although I do think he might be worth a punt, I don't really rate Salah that much. Living in Switzerland I watched him play a lot for Basel and thought he looked like Gabby 2.0 He has bags of pace but touch lets him down on numerous occasions. He cant blast the ball, neither can he finish 1 on 1s very well. I always felt he looked nervous in front of goal, same as gabby. Crossing nothing special. I also remember him to be quite one dimensional. He mostly runs at the defence and gets sucessfully jockeyed out to the right corner flag. Overrated in my opinion. (i know most commas are wrong but they feel right to me as a german speaker) I always thought he played well for Basle in the champions league and europa games...against some very good teams aswell. If he's available he's worth a punt on loan imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Townsend is a bit too similar to Nzogbia for me, likes to cut inside and shoot rather than create chances with clever play. Not a bad player but not really what we need right now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Scott Sinclair on loan please Paul. Wages too high surely? Or do you want a chunk of that 8 mill (instead go getting Cleverley on a permanent) spent on that? Not seen Sinclair play for a while tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomh621 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 If we have The Rock in CDM alongside Westwood and we perhaps get in a CAM do we need Delph? Use Delph money and leave Cleverley at United, bring in an attacking mid and a Winger? Leaves our midfield potentially a bit shallow though unfortunately.

GENTLEMAN Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Linked with Fulham's Lasse Vigen Christensen (Danish) to replace Delph. Looks like a very good prospect judging from YouTube clips. Some clips 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some clips Even if those are the only two goals he's scored for Fulham it shows he's got a lot of balls and talent. Nice. Big step the prem though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) yeah he looks a massive talent... huge raps on him from Fulham fans. Will likely know Okore too. He has 5 goals and 5 assists so far. Edited December 29, 2014 by KSV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
electronicmaji Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd like to see us bring in someone like Denis Praet, Marcel Sabitzer, Jordan Veretout, or someone similiar; but I think outside of those three young talented creative offensive minded players are not going to be in our budget. A loan of Joel Campbell I think would also work very well I think he could do well in Weiman's position. Also next year I'd look into the possibility of purchasing someone like Rocky Van Wolfswinkel who I feel still has a lot to show in British Football.

Looks like a very good prospect judging from YouTube clips. I remember getting excited watching youtube clips of Tonev. They can make anyone look good. Still, gotta be better than anything we have atm. Worth a shot if relatively cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Every window we always say the same thing - creative midfielder please Paul. You'd think this close to Christmas if one of us put a CAM on our lists surely one of us has been good enough to get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is not a club or a fan of a team that was below Tottenham that wouldn't have loved to have signed him in the summer. I know I certainly would have but that kind of move and player for that price is an absolute rarity. We have had one or two ( Benteke and Okore) but we can't get them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz316 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yes linked to a lightweight young championship midfielder that's exactly what we need! Go get him Paul! Young and hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Christensen is decent, 5 goals and 5 assists for Fulham this season, he plays/played with Okore for the Danish U21 side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlXIxCk0qlM Full game vs Russia U21 can be seen above if anybody is bored and wants to watch him play, wears the number 8 shirt. His first goal is at around 10 minutes into the video. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yes please, top talent- I'm very excited about the Danish talent around. (No more Bendtner) This lad is quality- Højbjerg from Bayern would be great too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villarocker Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I'd definitely like to see us loan a striker in January. Neither Gabby or Weimann can be trusted to fill Benteke's boots should he get injured. Kozak will come back at some point but will need time. I really don't think we should run the risk of Benteke getting injured and having no goal threat for the second half of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
