Before Bale I though Milik. Now I think Dost, unless Dele ends up being sold

Has he agreed terms though?
He hasn’t agreed to personal terms with Roma
Kane
Son
Lloris
i would say those 3 you couldn't even debate, no doubt better.
Now we get to 2 that I think are tricky because they weren't here the whole time but even in their shorten time I would say were undoutably better:
Eriksen
GLC
I would say that Toby was better. Sanchez was better. Winks who I don't rate was better. Tanganga better. Bergwijn, although short time period was better.
So that is 10, although you might have an issue with me including guys that weren't here the whole time.
I cannot say he was any better than Aurier, Jan, Dier or Lamela although I am not sure they were any better than him either.
Lucas' greatest value has been his availability over the last couple of years when we have been beset by injuries and suspensions and all sorts.
But if sheer occupation of a spot on the field is your key metric, our leader in minutes played in each of the last two seasons, and a better player than Lucas, is Toby Alderweireld.
This is Levy's gift to Levy. Been trying to do this for 2-3 years now. Just happened to work out now.
I mean he scored 10 goals in the league last season, almost 1 goal every 3 games. Really good for a winger tbh. Last year everyone suffered due to our extremely poor midfield.
He is ok, not amazing. Works hard though. Some shit games, some great. Inconsistent.
Does anyone know if he can do it at Sto......
Oh:
The technique on that goal is just otherworldly.
So which of the 3 options do you go with then?
Give up? Over use? or Out of position winger?
People are going to whine anyways, look at the uproar about the crazy idea of bringing in a good young player that fits a need that we clearly have at the club.
Son / Kane / Bale
Bergwijn / Milik / Lucas
+ Dele, Lamela, Sessengon, Clarke (& Parrot to return).
That be some of that depth stuff we always hear about.
Not a joke. An opinion. He certainly hasn’t been anywhere near the “shit list”. He dragged us from the abyss in that semi final. Probably one of the best individual performances I have seen (alongside Bale v Inter)
Quickly forgotten though, and back to a bit part player. It happens when you have Harry Kane declaring he is fit for the final (when he wasn’t if my eye witness evidence means anything). I don’t think Lucas is anywhere near as bad As people make out. And he gave me the biggest heart stopping moment in over 40 years as a Spurs fan when he put that last second winner away. I felt like I’d come a million times. My West Ham supporting neighbour was in the pub with me that night. Every fucker in that pub was a spurs fan that moment. Scenes. Limbs. It was mad.
So maybe I’m biased. But I resent comments claiming as fact that we would be better off right here, right now, with some young lad from a Lower league. Utter fucking gash.
Also; Moura scored 10 goals in 18/19. Lamela scored 16 goals in 160 PL games for us. Pretty obvious which player is superior.
And having them rested and ready to play the full 90 in cup matches is also huge.
He has been a good soldier for us, playing when needed and never complaining. Seems like a good guy as well.
But we have a surplus of wingers and a real lack of creativity in our squad. Moura does not offer any help in that area. He is a poor passer, has poor vision and is not good at receiving and keeping passes.
If it is easier for people to move Lamela go ahead, I think Lamela is more useful because of his ability to come on late when we have a lead and help run the game out but he is so limited himself that replacing him helps as well.
The main point is that we need to add creativity to the line-up, it would be nice to add youth to the squad. Replacing one of the two wingers who do not add any creativity with a player that does would be nice.
I know this idea blows the mind of many on here so I will let it go because it is not worth dealing with the people that can't handle it. We can continue to go down the path of Moura being one of our key attackers and hoping we can keep getting OG's and Brenton lining up with a highline back 3 of Morgan, Bennett and Evans and see how that works for us.
You’re American aren’t you?
If you aren’t then you’ve been very sheltered.
We won’t immediately improve anything by shipping out Moura for Eze. Sessegnon was tearing up fences at Fulham. He looks like a lost child at Spurs. He was definitely a signing that came back to the EPL from a relegated side.
