Been doing my homework on Eze. Maybe not many excited by this one, especially with all the talk of Bale, but I think we should be.

I’ve watched the QPR v Reading game and extended highlights of them v Hull, Blackburn and Luton.

This kid is definitely worth a punt.Powerful physique, quick, direct, quick feet, runs at people and has end product. Scores and assists. Shows good composure for a 21yo - takes their penalties - and was very cool with them.

Like.

Several teams in for him including Sheffield United, who would probably offer him most playing time and least pressure in the short team, and Manu who would probably hope they could offer the same as Spurs.

Hope we have offered both what the player wants ( including a stress free move to a local London club) and what QPR wants ( cash and possibly players/loans).

We might want full backs and defensive midfield players, but I don't see buying Eze for circa £12m is going to divert us from buying whoever is available to fill those positions (if they are a good fit for Spurs). And we will need to buy some attacking players in the summer so every reason to bring forward purchases if we see the opportunity - and we do have 2 spaces for HG players free whilst we have to sell an overseas player to buy one.
 
Kane
Son Dele Bale
Soumare Ndombele
Jan Sanchez Toby Aurier
Gaza

the backline would remain our weak spot but I think this CM pairing would help them tremendously. That would be a beast team.
Haven't you heard we are getting Verane wants a new challenge according to the daily Zeig heil and knows theres no bigger challenge than looking competent in a back four with mad Uncle Serge Juan Snow and Cara Delevingne Gazzaniga.

Personally I can't see us buying anyone not until the summer.
 
Bellingham is one to watch - think someone might have mentioned him already.

16 years old playing for Birmingham. He's just scored against Leeds but sort of player we'd have been all over a decade ago.

Eze good?

Not sure who we buy as I cant really see what Mourinho is trying to achieve.

He packs the midfield with attacking midfielders and then instructs the defence to bypass said midfield at every opportunity.

Aurier seems undroppable despite KWP never really doing anything wrong. Kane is starved of service despite us having more attacking players than city at times.

It all looks disjointed to me. Maybe after the winter break we will see some changes but apart from turning Vertonghen into a part full back /part centre half and playing long balls I'm not sure what his changed. Were still getting by on talent rather than tactics.

Hope my current negativity is me being a prick but I feel very down on the whole club at the moment.

The starting tactics against Norwich were a mistake Jose is unlikely to repeat again. Team didn't look like they knew what to do with a midfield of technicians. It was a disjointed mess without a doubt.
 
Sanchez has turned out to be underwhelming. That's the problem with our defence. Had Sanchez been the player we could have gotten for that money in that market, then we'd be much stronger. And Poch would probably still be in charge

Can't believe you blaming Sanchez on poch losing his job, Sanchez has act been very good defensively for the most part, only problem is his passing lets him down. The entire teams poor form is what got poch out, most noticeably the lack of quality CDMs at the club
