Verrry nice. I'd probably swap Kranjcar and Benny over though. Either way though! Looks damn fine to me.

That ain't got **** to do with anything. Tiote wasn't having a look-in at Twente remember...

Redknapp obviously rates Bale and VDV as better players. They're idols of the club at the moment, and the team is built around players like them and Modric. They ain't ever gonna be dropped even in a poor run of form. Just like how we would never drop Nolan or Barton if they had a bad spell.

There's no way in hell that anyone can seriously conclude the quality of a player based on how many first team appearances they get in other clubs. It's really worth actually looking at the player and looking at the quality directly.

PS: Just look at this for an example:


The fact that 'Arry STILL won't choose him after that really makes my point. He'll never, ever budge from prioritising players like Modric, VDV and Bale in the first team.

Cheik played 43 games last season.

Their team is built around Modric. Part of the reason we'd never drop those players is lack of options. If Kranjcar was as good as people make out he'd be playing much more, especially since Redknapp likes him, which is why he bought him at Spurs and doesn't want to sell.

He did have a good spell of form, but every player does, even Heskey does. Kranjcar is good but not better than what we have.

Given you said top premiership striker I only included league goals

Ahh my mistake.

That's not as bad as it sounds though, considering he spent 1 whole season out injured, and has barel played this season. And missed half his first season at us. When fit and playing regularly, not many can compare.
 
Not sure about 7mil, reckon we'd get him for cheaper.

Im sure spurs only paid something like 2mil and he's not in the first team at the minute.

He'd definately improve our midfield though and I'd like him here.

That's fair enough, but I couldnt disagree more about Kranjcar. Bale and van der Vaarts reputations at spurs and in the eyes of the media have made them undroppable, and by your logic, Bassong doesnt play many games either, so he is ****. Tottenham have too big a squad, and good players are being left out and unhappy.

Yeah if he's playing in a Liverpool shirt and is 10 years younger <ok>
 
The only thing is, with HBA, Tiote, Jonas, Barton and Nolan all fit, where would he go in the squad? Remember that we need a right winger too.

Other than that, great player!
 
in my opinion, we should play 4-5-1

Bring in a target man who can hold up the ball for our AM/Wide men to run onto, he needs to also be able to shoot and score from headers.

The middle 5 will be made up of 2 wide men - jonas, HBA or Krancjar, Joey if needed, then the middle 3 will consist of Tiote (defensive) and Joey and Nolan if away from home. If we're at home we could have joey and HBA or Krancjar in the middle. We'd obviously be more attacking at home, more disciplined away - hence Nolan in the Middle.

thoughts ??

Would love him here, but can't really see where he'd fit in, a right winger is what we need.

To be honest, where we are at at the moment, I'd make space for a player like him to fit in and play HBA on the right. We desperately need options and can always juggle things around.

Can't see him coming though unfortunately. Class player.
