can someone please explain me what is the story of Arcspace and the damn legos :myword:
 
I just don't understand why everyone wants CM players, sure a few extra in there now that we have moved a couple on would be great, but Mason and Benteleb have passion drive legs they both get stuck in both work there asses off and they can both play. Not there fault the 3 infront of them went missing so much last season and they had to totally miss them out on numerous occasions and go straight to Kane. We need more from Chadli Erikson and Lamella this year so these two can concentrate more on controlling the game and doing there defensive duties.
There both fairly young and both play like it means something to them i would take that over some CDM that wanders around intercepting the odd pass here and there and passing it sideways.
I do get what your saying however about pressing to cut passing lanes that all makes sense i just don't get why so many people want to dismantle a good partnership after 1 season. It excited me having 2 youngens in there the energy and urgency they showed at times needs to rub off on some of our more 'experienced' players.
They are defensively naive at times but they have a season under there belts and POCH will only make them better
The number of goals we coughed up due to specifically Mason being out of position were likely the difference between 5th and 4th.

The errors which killed us consistently followed the same pattern. Midfield out of position concedes ball to opposition forward/wing, leading to fast break against defence, leading to goals being conceded due to sheer number of occurrences.

It wasn't the forward line that went missing in the press, it was the midfield. Not to be unexpected when a 10 forced into the CM role and a 20-year old were being relied upon because the senior players dropped their collective bollocks, but still it was our main problem last year.
 
There is a distinct lack of striking options available.

Statements like this can never be true. There's too many footballers, known and unknown, for there to be 'no options', other than 30 year old bloke in Italy. Not your fault as you're obviously not a professional scout, but it would be a surprise if you could predict who we're going to buy since we want to buy "hidden gems", which tend to be...well, hidden.

I have no idea about the talent in Holland, Belgium, Austria, Portugal, Sweden, Denmark etc, I doubt any of us do, but I'm sure they all have a few decent strikers in their respective leagues.

Yorkshire Spurs: 'Possibly'

Way too straight an answer for an ITK.

"The grasshopper has to jump first, before the frog will learn to swim. It could or could not happen, depends on how the player feels. The cat could also swim with the frog."

Someone should make an ITK parody account and post ancient Chinese proverbs as ITK and see if anyone realises.

Fun, but way too much work for me.
 
"what enters the field of play in a football match at half time, but doesn't leave until the match is over? if its a Saturday match it leaves after the game, but if its a mid week game it remains until the next day.... and it only happens in the English premiership, not in Scotland or the lower divisions..."
 
He's a great player but injuries are a big concern. Only played 27 and 21 games in all competitions the last two seasons. I can understand why we would want to take a €20m risk and are hoping for the price to fall.

Hopefully his club will accept some appearance fee bonuses for him, instead of out and out cash. If they refuse (A decent offer + Bonus), it says a lot about how the club view his fitness levels...
