but more of a reason why i think thats gonads is cause it has modric as 4th best most accurate long passer at about 8 long passes a game? rubbish ..am not having that

It's based on OPTA's stats as far as I know.

This. Then again, if he's happy being a second choice behind Big Bad Brad, whereas Gomes might not be, then perhaps on a free Green wouldn't be 100% poor as a signing.

I'd still prefer a young up and coming keeper as number 2 though.

The thing is we already own Gomes and unless someone buys him off us we are stuck with him. Whether Gomes is happy being 2nd choice or not shouldn't really come into it. I wouldn't be too unhappy with Gomes on the bench, he's certainly good enough for that.

I'd also be worried that if Green came he would be considered as Friedel's long term replacement which would be a disaster in my opinion.
 
No offence Jordinho but i prefer to believe my eyes than whoscored.com. Dembele a very strong tackler? hmmmm no.


If Dembele or any cm in world football was very strong at dribbling,tackling,defensive contribution and holding on to the ball plus also being strong at passing he'd be the best cm in the world bar none. No CM in world football is that complete.

QPR are looking for a keeper. Rumours of Green and a tiny mention of them looking at Gomes at one point. I'd prefer it if they took both of them.

So presumably (with out current squad and assuming that Adebayor signs) that would mean dropping either VdV or Lennon

I'm not assuming that adebayor signs though. Its unlikely he will take a 60% cut in wages to come to us.

I would like to try 433 as I think Bale would work well on the left of it as an inside forward with maybe vdv drifting in of the right of it. I don't think lennok scores enough for this formation but he would still perform well and would be able to supply runners from deep with his cut backs etc.

Of course im not suggesting we stick rigidly to one formation, it should also be dictated by opposition and form etc.

Because of this its likely Dembele will miss some games but if you think midfield and attack are 6 places then we need 8/9 players who are all capable of sustained runs starting in the team and in key games if circumstances dictate.
 
Got a rare piece of ITK from a rare source, don't shoot the messenger, I know it's a bit out of the blue, but trust me on this one;

Verthongen to sign for Spurs!

:p
