BREAKING NEWS
Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes is expected to fly to London in the next 48 hours to complete his 18 month loan move to Tottenham.
The two clubs have agreed a deal in principle and are finalising terms.
Personal terms are not expected to be a problem.


He arrives tomorrow
 
I don’t have a massive problem with winks to be honest. . .

My problem is we have so many midfielders plus we look to be signing one more, and none of them seem to have the positional awareness or defensive mindset to sit off, break up play and re-cycle possession.

I am not a football analyst, I’m just an arm chair fan and obviously the club has highly paid individuals that know the game a lot better than I do, but I just don’t understand why we aren’t in for someone that atleast gets a foot in.

If we play a double pivot, one of them needs to have a decent amount of defensive qualities, if we play a 3 then the deepest one should at the very least be a 6/8 hybrid.

Is there something I am missing here? How are we signing another box to box and expecting this to help us?

Are the reports wrong about Gedson and he actually does have some CDM qualities?

:mourfacepalm:

From what I can see, he’s only played two 90 minutes in the league this year, (213 minutes in total) one of them as a second striker. And hasn’t played a single minute as a CM.

I know fuck all about him, have watched the tiny bit of YouTube out there. But this seems like a really odd use of a non HG squad space.
