Is it? Did I imply anything other than a team is interdependent parts? I don't think I did. What I did say is that our players were overrated as individuals based off the failure by many to recognize this very fundamental point. And further, I don't like picking one or the other. There are many players, an abundance of players, with both. It seems you are getting stuck in the either/or dimension BC. I want complete players. They don't have to be world beaters at anything but they must be competent at everything. We don't have that. Which is why I've always said that each of our players have at least 1 glaring technical deficiency.

Ok, I'll lay off CE and by extension, you. But it won't diminish my desire for a more complete player in that position. I don't know who that will be but hopefully it is GLC for the short term at least.
One to keep an eye on:

This website has forecast that Villa will probably end up making a £14m loss this season regardless of PL money, unless they finish in the top 10.
FFP will still loom over them so sales may be inevitable regardless of surviving.

Inter are apparently going to start negotiating a January deal for Atalanta starlet Dejan Kulusevski (on loan at Parma) tonight. All the big English clubs are also said to be interested in him.
Atalanta are said to want 25 mil for the 19 year old Swede. Who with 2 goals and 5 assists is at the top of the Serie A assist rank, and the second best teenager when it comes to points produced, with only Sancho ahead of him.
Cut the Italians off. This kid is what Dele was back in the day.

This isn’t the way we work though, we would much rather another club buy him cheap in January and let us pay £50million for him in the summer
Haven't Lloris also spoken about taking on an adventure in the MLS? He's been open about not seeing himself as retiring with us at least.

Villa had an FFP hole last year of circa £50m, but sold the ground to another of the new owners companies for about £57m (a ploy which I think EFL and PL should stop - at some stage an owner is going to sell the ground separate from the club) and leasing it back to the club, following Derby's lead as the first club to do that.
So for now they probably don't have an FFP problem - but if they continue to rack up losses then they will be back in the FFP quagmire.

GLC was only made a loan in the summer to help out Real Betis minimise their 'sell on' payment to PSG by making part of it a loan fee.
As I understand it, its a mandatory purchase unless we finish outside Europe next season when it becomes our choice. But unless GLC is a total flop, I cant see Spurs not exercising the option, simply because we need an Eriksen replacement/alternative and with so many other players to replace (Alderweield, Vertonghen, Rose, possibly a RB, possibly a DM, possibly a GK etc), its not feasible to bring in more players. Especially with the Euros on in the summer starting in early July and with players due back (after 3 weeks rest) a week or so before PL starts so minimal preseason to meet other players, get fit etc.
We are. Just don't see the need for a midfielder who weighs 25 stone.Eh? Thought we were tight bro...
I thought their FFP worries were due to the EFL rules, which they would have breached without the sale / loan back of the ground. Now they are in the PL they are no longer a pressing issue. They are allowed losses of 100M over the next 3 years and still comply with EPL FFP.
Agree on that element.
But sometimes a baller beats a runner, he looked reasonably mobile, but I am a proponent of the 5ft7-5ft11 (lean with strong core) players for CM.
Torn... He looked a better version of Kovacic from the few minutes I saw.
I don't rate him as a footballer. Dodgy touch, indecisive in possession.
Probably saw more than me of him then, just caught a bi of the second half, his movement and passing was good, so was his pace for a unit.
Will yield to your view.
I watched him in the reverse fixture and the first half from last night. Will get to the second half later.
Ziyech still looks the dogs bollocks also a front 3 of Ziyech Son and Kane with Ndombele GLC and a true DM behind the would be sexy.
Agent Van der Vaart has said that he has talked with Levy about bringing him in.
