    The all new Striker thread..

    Berahino is the one we must go for. Is versatile in the sense that he can play on the wings and gives us another option as a striker. Already has experience playing with Kane.

    Vlad Chiriches

    Overall he is actually a pretty good footballer, but apart from GK, CB is probably the worst possible position for him to play in. Why the hell he ended up there I will never know.

    The Defence

    Is he now? I haven't seen that. When we brought on an extra striker we went with Kane as a 10, instead of actually changing the formation to 442. I don't think the inflexibility charge is unfair at all, it's simply true. Now, sticking by your formation is not necessarily a bad thing, but let's...

    The Defence

    I can't. Pochettino is about as inflexible as it gets in regards to changing the formation. It will be 4231 no matter what.

    To be fair Dier managed that as well the last time we played them...

    From a Southampton fan: "I think we've tried to be clever and get something done on the cheap. Unfortunately Levy got involved and no-one is going to beat him in the sneaky-underhandedness stakes, so it has backfired." Haha, you have got to love our chairman.

    Center.

    Aaron Lennon

    You are welcome. Sure, somewhere alone, remkved from the rest of the squad. In other words: banished. Reintegrating? Cut adrift since May? These players have been cut adrift since November. There is no way they would get back into the squad now.

    Toby Alderweireld

    Euhmmmm, no? Where do you get this from? You are underestimating Alderweireld, he is quite quick for a CB, strong as well, he is not a giant like Fazio, but good enough in the air. They aren't as similar as you seem to think. They were very compatible for Ajax. As a pairing they worked very...

    Aaron Lennon

    Lol, you are very naive. These players barely played for us last year after November/December. Didn't go on post-season tour either. Had no internationals to play after that, so should have been back by now. We have had 3/4 days of pre-season training already. Some of our players are on multiple...

    Benjamin Stambouli - Sold to PSG

    Indeed, as much as I think he didn't get a proper chance, I also realise that even if he did, he wouldn't have been top-class either most likely.

    Jan Vertonghen

    Where do these stories come from? The guy himself even said he will stay.

    Aaron Lennon

    He is not the only one. Kaboul isn't there. Capoue wasn't there either before he joined Watford. It's pretty clear these players can go and basically have been banished. They were kept at home for the post-season tour as well.

    Toby Alderweireld

    As I told you before, their coach doesn't move his full-backs to CB anymore, they stay on the flanks, no matter what. Has little to do with being behind 'a guy from Celtic' in the pecking order.

    Toby Alderweireld

    Good luck finding him, let alone actually signing him.

    Toby Alderweireld

    You are underestimating Alderweireld on a physical level imo. He had two outstanding CB's infront of him at a side that won the Spanish league and got to the final of the CL. Is that flopping? I think you are the one who is confused. Vermaelen and Vertonghen almost never played together at CB.

    Jan Vertonghen

    “I still had a contract for four years. They offered me new contract of five years, I see as great sign of confidence.” "I still have four years left. I am happy at the club and I think they are happy with me. That's where it ends." That is what he said last year.

    Roberto Soldado

    That is a terrifying prospect.

    Players we could convert to another position

    By that I meant the speed to act. Not just sprinting, but more like how quick someone controlls the ball, looks where to pass it and then does that. Vertonghen likes to take his time before he acts, time which he doesn't have as a midfielder.

    Toby Alderweireld

    That is what most would like, but in reality it is a pairing that as of yet hasn't been that big of a success. In fact, as a pairing Vertonghen-Fazio has been better. Although there are of course some big question marks on whether Fazio in particular can cope with Poch's system. Wimmer is a 22...
