brummybloke Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Eriksen looked good for Denmark plays in a 4 3 3 system on the left of a midfield 3 and inter want rid. 28 years old and in his prime. no Kevin in his names though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd be great but if Spurs couldn't afford to pay a wage to keep him I can't see us doing it unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's what we're really missing atm but I'm struggling to think of any decent potential signings. Yeah we’ve been linked to or suggested several LW but not many RW... we tried to get Kubo on loan but were rejected. Buendia? Bernardeschi? Can’t think of many, maybe Rashica can/will play there if we get him... Maybe this is where the links to King come from but i hope we can do better, or Watkins is playing there if we are bringing Edouard in (doubt it though but it would be a pleasant surprise). McGinn?

Impossible signing for us and he would want exorbitant wages if he could be tempted (but wouldn’t, would want to play at the highest level). These kinds of suggestions/links are pointless and completely unrealistic tbh. Would be great though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but they can improve and develop with other talented players around them and the coaching and infrastructure. All of which is being improved. We are building something special I’m sure. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxfordVillan Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I think, rightly, we are targeting a stronger and more physical front 3. Watkins is a good start, something like a Josh King on the left of a front 3 would be a good 2nd step. More pace, more goal threat, more defensive prowess from the front, higher up the pitch. That’s vital in the modern game. We lacked physicality once Wesley was out injured. ElGhazi and Trezeguet* just didn’t bring the required levels of physicality as the wider players in a front 3, they couldn’t press aggressively enough to slow the opposition down. If we get King we just need the right hand side sorted, and we’ll see a big improvement. *much improved in the final 4 or 5 games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
