Pacqueta

I don't think we can be too picky right now. Similar to Gallagah, if this guy is available, we need all the quality we can get.

What kind of midfielder do we need? Someone able to pass well, and with some defensive bite. I thought Bentancur had really turned a corner. Talk about being kicked when you're down. We were already light in midfield. Now we're playing a second string in midfield as well as in attack. At least Solanke is back fit.Small mercies.

Bentacur has been shockingly bad this season, and is top of my "sell first" list. Paqueta would be a massive upgrade. Bentacur is not the same player after the injury that kept him out for a long time.

Not the last 3-4 games. By all accounts he was getting back to his best. Fan ratings etc Shame he’s now out.

Bents is inevitably going to be one of those players that will get appreciated more when he's not available. He's been putting in a big shift this season and a lot of his best data points wouldn't be the offensive stuff that the Spurs fans were looking at.

Napoli now looking at Joao Gomes. There' s the guy we should be going for.

Its Franks tactics. He's being made to play like that.

No it's not. He gets run around by every team. He can't keep up with anyone. His passing pattern may be Frank, but he's been shockingly bad in that department too. He's gone backwards massively, and should be sold while we can still get decent money for him. He's just not good enough. If we keep hanging on to players like him, we will forever be mid table at best.

I’d have Palhinha start every match that he’s fit for right now. He has shown his will to win, to battle for every ball. He has the defensive side and can win those duals. If Paqueta played alongside him then I think that would help significantly.

My thoughts as well, there is a stat floating around that he has the most tackles of any player in the league. He may not be easy on the eye for some supporters but he is very good at his job.
