Traore is very much in the same mold as Trezeguet and El Ghazi. Very inconsistent, yes. The finished product? Nope. Far from. Rashica looks very decent though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure why we seem so happy with the left back situation but I guess other areas are a higher priority for the money. Rico Henry and Targs will do for me, sell tayls 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Jack just had his best ever season and fans seem so desperate to change his position. Just. Don't. Get. It. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack wants to play in midfield. He said as much himself. Sometimes if you think outside of all the preconceived ideas you have in your head the world might surprise you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should tell you something. Does that mean his ceiling is a Trez/AEG ceiling. Absolutely not. Does that mean his current threat level is the same as Trez/aet? Absolutely not. You spend so long basically repeating the same things and it's hilarious that you actually have never seen Traore play. By all means (I said this yesterday) be skeptical, but maybe level your scepticism to your own actual knowledge. Anyway, looks like villatalk has become the villalad show again, so I'll leave you to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We only barely survived on last day partly because of that. We need ready made players who is ready to perform now.

Rolta Posted September 14, 2020 Share Posted September 14, 2020 Beggars belief. It's as if this guy is talking about an 18 year old youth player. Traore has plenty of experience. It's not worth it. I thought it was good to loosen up on the ignore button for the new season but I was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to play him as an 8 last season and it simply didn't work. We need 2 box to box players in front of Luiz. That would be perfect. God what i would give for a player like Allan. The guy ran absolute riots with Spurs yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However........I’m still waiting for that big, powerful CM?! That would be the icing on the cake for me if we land Traore and Rashica. We need a player like Everton now have in Doucoure. Could we get any of these guys? https://totalfootballanalysis.com/data-analysis/finding-new-defensive-midfielder-for-spurs-data-analysis-statistics Bakayoko on loan? Alvarez? Rongier? Grujic may be a good signing for us & we have been linked. We do need that strong, physical presence in MF to help us out in the tougher games and ensure we aren’t overpowered or too lightweight. It’s something we definitely lack in the squad atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my perfect world Jack would stay left and we would be bringing in an upgrade on Conor to beef up the midfield. With Jack, John and Doug behind 3 forwards it looks really exciting going forward, but also rather too lightweight defensively. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the perfect window, I still think we would need an experienced CB, and powerhouse CM. I don’t see us now getting a back up ST as both Traoré and Rashica can play there. I think we would need to move some players on first:- Nyland and Kalinic Elmo Engels (if CB comes in) Lansbury Jota Davis (Loan) Only thing I'd like to add is a left back. Need to replace Taylor.

We need a player like Allan alongside McGinn. Edited September 14, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
