Turkish Posted 23 July, 2012 Share Posted 23 July, 2012 Of all the players we've signed or been seriously linked with, this one is most exciting. That's not a dis on the other players we've signed. I'm actually excited about the prospect of seeing Lens play with them. In Sharp and Lambert, you've got players who'll create opportunities out of scrambles, deflections and half-chances. Right midfield has been an identified weakness from the start of the window. Lens looks capable of creating an insane amount of trouble for the opposition. Good fit for the berth, from all accounts. The pace and attacking potential a right side of Lens and Clyne would have would be fantastic. It's actually quite exciting, if it happens of course. Time will tell.

Webby Posted 23 July, 2012 Share Posted 23 July, 2012 If finishing is his weak point then he ain't gonna play as striker. Better to have him offering a threat from the wing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They signed Narsingh who is very highly rated and plays out wide. Clearly if we are ambitious and rate Lens then we have to pay big for him. Will be interesting to see if we have other targets out wide. Seem to be aiming bigger than the Jarvis, Matt Phillips type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The English researcher did last week a bid of five million euros at the attacker, but the Brabant being off. The attitude of PSV is to him a signal that he has a serious chance in the center of the attack and that is the club where he asked for. If PSV eventually snaps when Southampton a higher bid is that the player is a sign that a departure for him the best. By this stance, he directs his near future entirely in the hands of PSV. Last season lost Lens place as his base right winger. Interim coach Phillip Cocu did eventually as a center striker called on him and that what went Lens concerns fine. To his great joy, the new coach **** Advocaat let him know that he initially sees as central striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is far smaller than most people think as we proved last season. Bottom half premier league is no better than top 3 championship. Top 5 PL is a different matter.

hypochondriac Posted 5 August, 2012 Share Posted 5 August, 2012 Why would you have to say that? You can think it if you like, but that doesn't mean everyone else has to. I completely disagree. There's very little gap between lower prem and upper championship, consistently proved year after year with promoted teams, relegated teams, cup games and championship signings making a successful step up. The gap is between the upper prem teams and the rest. Every season people seem to crave 'proven premiership players', yet 99% of the time this seems to mean players who've proven to be very average in the premiership, or worse, or perhaps had a blip of short term good form. Far rather sign people based on believing they're good footballers with an exciting future. Promoted teams routinely get relegated, often the year after promotion. Last year was a big exception.
