    ... the relevant point is age not position <doh> ... Grealish is not some kid being poached for potential ... he should have shown way more by now ... how old is Rashford ... how old is Lingard?

    I don't think it's a very good example for the subject, though.
    Both were signed during the last campaign and it remains to be seen whether either will accept a backup role.
    As you mention, they might both end up starting, so neither would be an example of a good backup.
    That would put Welbeck on the list.

    Two-three weeks I think. Suppose it depends on how South Korea do I'd imagine, don't really know much about the Asian Cup format.

    Lingard's 25. He's older than Lukaku.

    22 and the best player at a big club like Villa... I'd say he's shown something.

    Fair play ...looks younger ... but Rashford then ... my point being that if Spurs want to push on they need to add proven quality ... not gamble on 'potential' ...

    Aubameyang will be first choice CF in a front 3 for Emery, with Lacazette as back up. But it's not a strict order in that way. We'll probably play games with Aub out wide and Lacazette central too.

    Welbeck isn't even a striker tbh, he's a WF. About time we offloaded him really.

    Yeah, we did that with Llorente. Didn't work.

    We need to bring in somebody that suits the system and won't expect to walk into the starting XI.
    That or start crossing the ball when Kane's not playing and we pick one of our other strikers.
    Neither looks likely.

    He’s still young at 22, ffs!

    It’s just more of your silly attempts at point scoring.

    He’s had his problems, which I’ve mentioned countless times, but seems to be over them now.
