    Fernando Llorente

    I know this is a subjective matter but IMO Llorente would be a huge upgrade on Adebayor (not that I don't rate Ade).

    Fernando Llorente

    I don't think he'll get anywhere near 250.000 a week at his next club. Given his non existent season I think other strikers like Falcao and Lewandowski have become more attractive, which will attract the few clubs that are actually willing to pay 250.000 a week for a striker. If Arsenal are...

    Which position do we need to strengthen?

    I admit I forgot about the one in 1st half, but the two one-on-one chances to Defoe and Townsend happened at the end, when Swansea played with high risks. Just saw this statistic of the highest clear cut chance creators...

    Which position do we need to strengthen?

    I think it's a little too simple to just look at the total attempts at goal. Not many (if any) of those attempts were clear cut chances. I read a stat a few weeks ago, that noted we were one of the teams with the highest number of total attempts, but were the team in the top 6 with the lowest...

    Which position do we need to strengthen?

    Those are also exactly my priorities although I think only one or two will be brought in during the january window. A dream scenario that would almost guarantee at least 4th would be: Willian (Only got 18 months left on his contract, so his value is coming down) Isco/Pjanic (The ship might...

    Fernando Llorente

    Although bigger clubs probably are interested in him, this is a deal that has Levy written all over. Amazing striker!

    Danny Rose

    Regarding his attitude, then I think a season playing for a side who's fighting relegation will help him mature. Just the fact that he's putting in some good performances for a team who's underperforming shows some character IMO.

    Danny Rose

    Have watched Sunderland a few times this season as well and every time he's been of their best players although it doesn't say much. He's had some mixed performances for Spurs, but he's still young and he's got some of the most vital attributes for a left back, pace, aggression and decent...

    Match ratings against evertooon

    Lloris 7 - Good performance Walker 7 - Once again a decent performance and at the moment the best set piece taker. Gallas 7 - Thought he played well Caulker 6,5 - Was brilliant for most of the game, but made a very poor clearing for their equaliser. Vertonghen 6,5 - Good going forward, but they...

    Match ratings against evertooon

    Thought he was much better in the second half, but he also had a shocking first half. Agree with all the other stuff. Not a bad game and a draw would've been a fair result. AVB has to work on closing down games, as something is definately not clicking in that area.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton ***

    Brave team selection by AVB, playing both Adebayor and Defoe instead of Sigurdsson. Hope we wont get overrun in midfield, but it did look promising against Arsenal.

    Willian

    True, but the only thing that seperated him form being wold class was his lack of speed (and work rate). Sad to see him leave though, as he was my favourite player.

    Willian

    My initial comparison was actually a young and skinny Ronaldinho, but then I thought people would think I was pushing it ;)
  15. Simon_B

    Willian

    I would compare him to a more skilled and pacey version of Kranjcar. Starts from the left wing but roams around across the pitch as he always seeks possession. Definately a more intelligent player than Nani as he's more of a playmaker than an out an out winger. He's got good pace though, a very...

    Willian

    Fully agree with you. Getting Willian for 20-25 would be a massive investment, but as you say we have Bale as an asset, who can balance the books if needed. For now he would be a massive upgrade on Dempsey and Sigurdsson and if Bale is sold later on, he would be the closest we would get to a...

    Season Expectations

    Before the season I believed 5th would be acceptable, but seing how Arsenal and Chelski have performed lately, I think it's only reasonable to raise our expectations. We've so far yet to reach the level of previous seasons, but as DHSF said with one or two major signings a top 4 is definately...

    Ratings v Liverpool

    Lloris - 7 - One big mistake that could've costed a goal, but other than that a very good game. Walker - 8 - Best game so far this season. Start to look like the player he once were. Dawson - 7 - Thought he did well and was often very well positioned. Gallas - 6 - Difficult to rate, because he...

    **Official Other Games Thread, Season 2012/13**

    Re: **Official Other Teams & Games Thread, Season 2012/13** Is Faurlin injured? Diakite has been awful. Sunderland desperately need a playmaker in midfield. Rose and Taraabt have played well so far.

    The January Centre Midfield thread

    This. Willian can also cover either wing, so if either Lennon or Bale is out or Bale will be sold in the summer, we'll already have the replacement. Even though we're a couple of players short of having a"perfect" squad, I'd be happy if Willian were the only player coming in in the january window.
