Confirmed Signing Aaron Lennon

[Khalekan]

Wasn't that the game that Mirallas played in the middle? He's awful there every time he plays that position.

Correct.

And that is where he would be playing again if Gerald and Lennon also started.

That said, Kev scored a goal and was denied a second to make it 3-3 by a great save from their goalie

if we were to flog mcgeady, bring lennon in and get a number 10 id be happy, but as it stands, this isnt the deal we should be pursuing imo

 

[marty mcfly]

It ain't completely different.

Bobby rarely plays two wide men, never mind three.

They woukd be tripping over each other.

Mirallas on one wing and Gerald on the other fills me with a sense of anticipation though.

Lennon is a bench warmer when thise two are fit and firing

It is completely different because the personnel and the position of that personnel are different. You can't simply say that playing one holding midfielder will always lead to Palace like results. The reality is we didn't perform that night especially Deulofeu who was playing his natural position and were hit on the counter. We weren't the first or the last team that Palace did that to.

We need to get Ross out of the No10 position so he can become the world class No8 we all know he can be.

And BTW.....McGeady was the only one of the three carried any threat during the turgid first half.

If by carry any threat you mean run in to someone or put in a terrible cross then I agree 100%

 

[diggerdestroyer]

Grand if we get him in but will not be what we need. He is not a number 10. Neither is Osman naismith etc not another wide man. He doesn't play wide men out wide anyway. And that's not wide of the mark

groooooaaaannnnnn.....

 

[Jags..class]

Let's forget about this number 10 anyway, couldn't we just play three behind Lukaku anyway

Del Barkley and mirallas

Agreed. We should be looking to spend money elsewhere.

We have options in wing, however bad they are, we need that number 10.

But then it's not even close to the formation I showed so what's the point of comparing it to a game against Palace over a season ago.

 

[Khalekan]

Had he signed yet?

 

[spudmuncher]

So how close is this to actually happening?

So how close is this to actually happening?

i bet it happens about 5.30

Is anyone started to get worried that this won't go through? Spurs aren't getting Berahino so they might need to keep him. I suspect that's also why Lamela was kept.

I think we should start looking else ware. Where did Quintero go? Damn to Rennes. Who else was there?

Why didn't we take Quintero on loan. Was he ever serious about a No10? That's not the board. We could have at least got Quintero.
