Pochettino doesn't seem to favour wingers with pace.I want(ed) a winger too but it's becoming obvious that we're going to play a lot of games with 5 defenders this season, evidenced by the signing of Sanchez. In that formation we play two attacking midfielders (Alli and Eriksen) in a narrow position with the width coming from the wingbacks. I guess that means that a winger isn't a big priority for Poch, especially considering this formation makes Son a sub.

Or am I completely wrong.
I've mentioned that a few times. Everton haven't said anything official at all.

this is fucking hillarious!
I saw a couple of articles online regarding the Ings transfer, which is why I questioned the 'domestic rules being different to the rest of Europe' statement. Doesn't the Ings deal confirm that a pre-contract deal could be made between Spurs and Barkley in Jan?.
If one of the best RB's in the world from one of the biggest clubs in the world isn't marquee, I don't know what is.He's Walker replacement or an upgrade if you like it not a marquee signing we have been crying out for for the last 12 Months.
What we really need to complete our squad is a winger/attackingmid that offers pace and creativity in the final third.
Biggest club my ass. Best RB my ass. Maybe in a couple of seasons.If one of the best RB's in the world from one of the biggest clubs in the world isn't marquee, I don't know what is.
Even in a 24 hour period where we've signed two players and look likely to sign a 3rd you still find a reason to moan.
Sissoko and Son pacy wingers?Well he's wanted Zaha, Bruma, Mane to name a few and signed Njie, Sissoko, Son and Nkoudou.

Why resort to ad hominem instead of arguing whether we really need that type of a player or not?If one of the best RB's in the world from one of the biggest clubs in the world isn't marquee, I don't know what is.
