Exactly
We need two or three or four wide (or wide and versatile who can play elsewhere too - Players like Eze, Brandt, Le Fee, etc etc) players who can do that IMO. Obviously they won't all be of similar quality, none may be "stars" but they should all be at least good.
How can Enzo playing at this speed and intensity realise it was Romero who was challenging him
I don’t even think it was a foul. It was a clearance.Lol mate I do tend to agree with a lot you say but that Romero challenge was a red,
he already started to get mad a couple minutes prior with Colvill. he literally did a terrible pass seconds before, then he just went in on Enzo he tried to be smart with it by getting the ball but he knew he was going in way to hard.
I’ll be honest he's one of my favourites aswell but that was definitely a red.
He turns his foot to not injure him. If he wanted to hurt him bad he could there. It happens so quick and he does just enough to not hurt him. I will argue this forever because I don’t think it’s a foul in anyway whatsoever and that is what derailed our season at that point.Maybe smart isn't the right word. But he went in.
The way his foot rotated externally after kicking a ball is unnatural, it's clear as day he wanted to following through.
I don't think Enzo being a international teammate is relevant when it comes to Romero, he is a committed player, a reason why most fans love him, me included.
Romero has been done unfairly by his "reputation" on numerous occasions but for me personally this isn't one of them.
Also remember playing at this speed is natural to these guys it's why they're playing at the highest level. it's not like he's big Dave from the dog and duck and been drafted in on Sunday morning, because Maldini's reincarnate is throwing up after being on the lash.
I just can't see you guys point of view mate. It just looks clear to me that he wants to leave something on him.He turns his foot to not injure him. If he wanted to hurt him bad he could there. It happens so quick and he does just enough to not hurt him. I will argue this forever because I don’t think it’s a foul in anyway whatsoever and that is what derailed our season at that point.
Of that list I’m only really familiar with Eze and I think you and me were talking about him a good while ago. The injuries are a concern but he could even play 8 with Maddison in some games imo and also be just as useful on the LWF spot. But if we spend the 60m needed to get him, that’s always been the Spurs version of a star player…
The other thing about him is the character. Just seems a really good kid. Cut from the Sonny, Pape cloth.
Doesn't mean he couldn't play there. Clearly has the dribbling and creative ability.Also bus-conductor :
Eze's time at LW is barely worth speaking of.........

That was a weird take, yes.Tried to be smart with getting the ball? Lol
In your opinion is it possible to play the game at that speed, whilst making decisions in a fraction of a second, to then decide to clear the ball and follow through into my international teammates shin to hurt him?
Because if so, your opinion is completely nuts and nothing like what is possible
That was a weird take, yes.
But that was still a red. Sure, we've seen equally poor tackles go unpunished since and that's frustrating, but all that matters is that Cuti seems to have learned his lesson. He had to stop missing games through (avoidable) suspensions, that's what you expect from your vice captain.

Yeah it’s a good point. Also, it’s not just positions, it’s the system and style of play - Eze has played in poor Palace teams that play without the ball, the opposite of us so I don’t think it’s worth saying he’s played as a 10 at Palace etc and comparing.Loading…

"We have liked him for a long time," Southgate told a press conference. "He has finished the season really strongly and plays in a couple of positions across the attacking line and has a burst of speed to go past people and take people out of the game with his dribbling skills."
Different ,managers see players in different ways - as a good example, Martin Jol finding Dembele having been bought as a striker by Fulham but Jol decided he was better playing as a midfielder .... which is what Spurs fans remember him as.
Or Vertonghen playing as a CM at Ajax, but Jol turned him into a CB ...... a great move for both Vertonghen and Jol.
Or Eze being released from Woolwich and Fulham before being taken on by ex Spur Chris Ramsey at QPR and taken to a different level initially playing as a left winger before becoming a no 10 which included playing more deeply as a cm. But at Palace he's more of an attacking CM.
I'm very much in the camp of trying to avoid pigeon holing players into a single position - lets see if he joins Spurs where he is played by Ange. It maybe, for example he is played in the cm3 but might be moved to LW if we are short as a forward. But I leave that decision to the manager.
Very good player and Premiership proven.Isak must be on our list. Will be expensive but seems like they have to sell. Seems to have a better injury record this season, played in 25 (22 starts) PL, 15 goals. Reckon he would shine in our system and correct age
He's quality. I really like that Sheringham, Berbatov style of forward. I was all for buying 2 wingers and not bothering with a CF this summer but with Williams difficult to get, Neto's latest injury, Kvara probably circa £90m i'd bust the bank for Isak and maybe someone like Olise on the right. If that means Son/Richarlison/Werner or Solomon for the left sided spot then so be itIsak must be on our list. Will be expensive but seems like they have to sell.

I wouldn’t say Isak is similar to Berba / Sheri? Seems more of a direct runner, almost like a younger SonHe's quality. I really like that Sheringham, Berbatov style of forward.
