Its safe to say (or at least imo) our biggest issue and most teams main issue is a 3rd midfielder who can link defence and attack. When I watch Spurs (and again most teams) I see either hopeful/mis placed passes or slow build up passes which allows teams defending to get back in numbers.
If I'm going by Pochettinos Southampton model it seems the only missing piece of our jigsaw in the deep lying/box to box ball player. Eriksen will be his floating number 10 (Lallana), Lamela will be his inside forward (Rodriguez), Paulinho will be his midfield runner (Davis) and Sandro will be his destroyer (Wanyama).
This leaves the midfield linkman.
If it was me I would like to see us go for Javi Martinez but if this ends up being a pipe dream then I think Schneiderlin is the missing piece.
Emre can would have been a good shout.
Gundogan is out of our league.
Claise is a gamble.
One of the Bender brothers maybe?
