Webby Posted 8 July, 2013 Share Posted 8 July, 2013 Can't believe this could happen. Seen him play a lot and he's top class, thought he'd be miles out of our league. What a signing he'd be. Rather him than Wanyama but seems maybe we want both. Would have absolutely brilliant CM options, ridiculous to say, but better than most the league. Mainly excited as just how well Banega, Morgan, Cork as a three would keep possession. We're already good at it, Banega seems to fit right in. My wish/hope is that if we can attract this guy, he might be friends with Soldado and able to drag him along too! This ^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no concrete source on anyone just hints, 2+2=5 and agents stirring up business for their clients. wanyama is the only one really known and that looks a stalemate.

We were linked with Jeremain Lens two windows in a row (who I would still love if we could get and a major HCDAJFU) and absolutely nothing materialised. We'd have to buy Lens from Kiev now, would cost a pretty penny as he's only just signed there. Same stumbling block as with most of our targets...we aren't in the CL or even the Europa League. Becoming football's Catch 22 situation, you can't get good players unless you're in the CL and you can't get into the CL unless you can get good players. Players will accept rubbish clubs to play in the CL seemingly. Edited 9 July, 2013 by Window Cleaner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 I can see some variations of the front 6. Spider - Wanyama Jrod - Banega - Gaston Lambert/New striker Spider - Wanyama Banega - Lambert - Gaston New Striker We wouldn´t have players that beat their defender out wide but not sure MP is looking for that. I think he want Clyne and Shaw to participate and coming down the flanks. In both formations the 3 would do a lof of interchanging and I can also see Banega take a step down with Spider moing forward. The two wide players in the 3 would be cutting in a lot but also do the interchanging in the game.... Very harsh on Cork though but he will get his games too. If we have the opportunity to bring in a player of Banega´s class it would be stupid to not do it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olallana Posted 13 July, 2013 Share Posted 13 July, 2013 Obviously don't know how ITK their source is, but interesting to see they believe we consider it a priority. I think the main aspect in Banegas game they want is his passing ability and one to play that through pass. Spider and Cork has a tendency to play around the opposition out wide to full backs or the wide midfielder. They rarely play that through pass on the feet of Lambert or Gaston in the spece between oppositions defenders and midfielders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With little back up in at full back we're going to be asking for a ridiculous amount from Clyne and Shaw next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
