We need to sign this dude. Just you tubed him and he can be our Ginola. I already love him. Bad decision making and selfish but I like those players. Oh yes.

I don’t have a strong preference between him, Kono or Rodriguez.
Poch and Baldini obviously moved on quickly at CB from Moreno and Lovren to Musacchio, so it will be interesting to see if they do the same at LWF.

out of those 3? i defo have a preference, and it would be Rodriguez because he would provide more goals than the other 2. If you play one up top, the 3 behind have to chip in with a good amount of goals

yep, that works anyway and he provides creativity as well as goals......Eriksen-Kane-Lamela in behind Adebayor or Soldado is perfectly fine for me

Agreed. All interchanging too, havoc for defenders.

I would actually prefer we signed a real quality attacking midfielder than a Morgan Schneiderlin type...especially one that can also operate as an attacking left sided player.

My thought is that Lamela will actually be the direct one and bring a lot of goals from the right, and having a more creative player on the left would balance him better.
That would tally Poch's system at Soton more. Lamela on the right, Eriksen on the left, and Paulinho or Holtby in the Steven Davis role off the CF.

Have Eriksen and Holtby been on the pitch at the same time in preseason? I think it could work, but we've yet to see it as far as I know.

Yet again - I'm with Jimbo.... I think our existing options for the 3 behind the striker are numerous. I'm happy for us to wait until January for Rodriguez (unless we can do a good priced deal for him now taking the injury gamble). The only player that I wouldn't mind seeing us have a go for would be Remy - as I think he could cover the left wing and striker position, but that depends on the real reason why Liverpool didn't sign him.
We have a lot of options, not sure we have a lot of ball playing options (Eriksen +?), perhaps Lamela
The midfield buys I would consider are - experienced head (our midfield is young), ball playing creative type, LW option, any of which would mean selling 1 or more of existing.

You know what will happen though - this happens every year.
Lennon is great in pre-season and our first 6 matches. Then he gets a knock. Misses a month or two. Then struggles to come back for the next 4-6 months.
Saying that I could certainly live with Lennon, Townsend and Chadli competing to be the third man alongside the two Eriks, until we go back for Rodriguez in January.
Well hopefully Poch is smart enough not to overplay him early.
To me, our managers have always been guilty of playing Lennon 90 minutes every game when he's fit/form, but if we are ahead, we should always see him as one of the option to pull off early
Watched a video on him, i know thats a foolish thing to do, but he didnt look any better than Townsend. Shoots when there are people better suited around him, runs in circles to try and beat every player he can, he just looks overall poor at judging a situation! Anyone who frequently watches PSV, can you offer a different outlook? Or is he just a glorified Townsend?
