Panto_Villan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Funny that this is mentioned. I actually dreamt that I was chatting with Lambert about this last night According to "him" his tactic was to find players that lacked one crucial thing in their game. His thinking was that they would appear as "not good enough" to others and that they would not see what kind of player they could become with that one ability. Because of this he could get his targets at good prices and would then train them hard on that one thing until they showed their true class. Benteke: Finishing. Luna: Positioning etc. I think MON had a similar tactic, except without the ability to train the player or get them at good prices. Imagine the beast he'd have created if he'd taught Heskey how to kick a ball towards a net. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qWP-z4O8Ddo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskitt Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 I predict he'll make a bunch of defensive howlers during the season but we'll love him anyway. Yeah, I think he'll go from the sublime to the ridiculous, probably several times a game ! Just get the feeling that life will never be dull when he's in the team, can't remember the last maverick full back we had ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Carlsen Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Much prefer Tony Moon as a nickname. Earliest reference to the name I could find... on page 15. Turnbull is the man! Now go bomb that post with likes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-Carlsen Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 (edited) More fun to give credits to turnbull than google, though I thought it was just the Luna part that was translated to Moon, anyway? Not Antonio to Tony? Edited August 20, 2013 by K-Carlsen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
