origi looks to me like he's packed on too much weight for his body, he's filled in in a very short space of time. his header vs thailand was beastly, but the weight has clearly cost him some pace
there's too much enthusiasm going on.....
just had a look back over the last few pages, and realised how f**king right i've been over you lot
Spurs thank you for this. Now they need a replacement.
Spurs? Benteke was at Aston Villa who signed him from Genk in Belguim. He's never played for Tottenham.
Can at LB? No chance.
Sakho has played LB before too - doesn't mean it would be a good idea. Can got roasted playing at fullback last year. Moreno and Gomez will be the LB's.
uhh plenty? he played a shitload there for PSGhow many fullback games has sakho played again?
moreno cost 18mill so he's gonna get first bite at LB ( i have a suspicion Lovren is gonna get first bite at CB as well based on Rodgers having spent so much on him), no doubt he needs to improve defensively but he'll be first choice - I wouldn't be surprised to see Gomez as immediate backup seeing as Enrique is on the outer and Flanagan is still a while away from being fit.it's up to moreno to prove we shouldn't need to be so conservative. again, options galore. gomez looked good in pre-season but like any kid like that he's not gonna see alot of games to start.

Ilori will go out on loan will Gomez hangs around the first team imo, unless the rumours of us after Digne are true.
I assume he is saying Villa will buy one of Tottenhams, probably Adebayor.
You assume correctly, Sherwood wants Ade to replace him and we finally get Ade off our books.
mignolet
clyne skrtel sakho can
milner hendo
lallana/ibe firminho countinho
benteke/sturridge
bench: lallana/ibe, benteke/sturridge, ings, lucas, allen, moreno, lovren, bogdan, origi, markovic
reserves: enrique, flanagan, wisdom, gomes, llori, rossiter, sinclair, texeira,
still here but likely to go: ballo, lambert, borini
there's options galore for formation and squad rotation, personally i'm not completely satisfied, but the squad admittedly does have the POTENTIAL to sneak the title this season
CJ, Can is a makeshift fullback and nothing more. He started off in defence very well last season, but then got found out. He was only best for his ability to bring the ball out from the defence, but he got found out in other areas. Furthermore, Can is a midfielder, and that's where he needs to continue developing his game. He won't improve as a centre mid by playing another season at fullback. It's not what we bought him for, and he's not the best for the job. We already have two more preferable options in Moreno and Gomez.
