Official - Holtby

A trio of Lamela, Holtby and Eriksen definitely sounds appealing. Bentaleb can definitely play a bit too. I just want to see more players who are comfortable receiving the ball and using it intelligently.

All good pass and move types which would in some way mimic the Chelsea line up, albeit slightly inferior in quality. I think for it to work effectively the width has to come from the FB's. Walker is decent enough at this bar his crossing but Rose is not up to the task IMO (actually I think crossing the ball into the box is such a low percentage ball as to be almost redundant in today's game) A platform of Dembele and Sandro will give a good strong defensive quartet at it's core as a platform for the others to express themselves.

------Any one bar Lloris-------
Walker--Vlad---Kaboul---New LB
------Sandro------Dembele-----
---Lamela---Holtby---Eriksen---
---------Ade/Soldado---------

Agreed about crossing being a very low success rate in today's game. It's definitely more the fact that if you pull the oppositions full backs out wide you have a much greater chance to create holes in their back four.
 
Lamela on the left where he's hardly ever played? Lennon starting? dear GHod no.

But he HAS played there; and ultimately there's no on else who should. Same with Lennon!! But I imagine eriksen and lamela swapping about and having more movement then the formation implies.

i'll ignore the personal insult.

When did lamela play on the left bar city?
 
I've gotta side with KD here, Lamela has played on the left in various games and goes missing. He has only looked decent when starting from a central position or coming in off the right.
 
So people actually want Holtby back now because they havent seen him so missing for the last 3 months in a Tottenham shirt.
The guy is undisciplined, can't stay in position and roams all over the pitch pointlessly because he's bored and needs a pointless touch of the ball.

Which ironically leads to him being less involved.

I thought they wanted him back because he's looked good for Fulham..

The guy has also been played almost all over the midfield in his time at Spurs and no doubt his brief is to use his energy to hassle the opposition. Or we could stick with the mostly languid midfield we've had recently. At least the guy has some fire in his belly and looks like he hates losing.
 
Lewis Holtby has apologised to his model girlfriend after sending photos of his private parts to an air hostess.

It was reported that the Tottenham midfielder – currently on loan at Fulham – has been sending images to another woman while in a relationship with Danish partner Ann Charlotte.

And Holtby told The Sun on Sunday: ‘I made a big mistake. The first big mistake of my life. I cannot look in the mirror. I have never cheated.’

Thumbs up: Charlotte wears a Germany shirt in support of her boyfriend

The air hostess claims she exchanged text messages with Holtby and he sent pictures of his body and private parts.

Meanwhile, Holtby’s representative Marcus Noack told German newspaper BILD: ‘Lewis is very depressed, he’s really upset about the story. He regrets it deeply.’

The 23-year-old signed for Spurs from German club Schalke last January but was loaned out to Fulham one year later having failed to make an impact at White Hart Lane.

To be honest I just want someone who isn't Paulinho.

this...

Think Holtby should be here to stay. He works his socks off defensively and thats been enough of an argument for most on here to keep Lennon in our first team for some time now. I'd say he adds more going forward as well but thats for another thread.

With Holtby, Eriksen, Carroll, Bentaleb, and Sigg to some degree, we have a good base of players in the middle who can link defence to attack. It'll just be a matter of finding a manager in the summer who can use them all with affect.
 
Lewis you absolute macaron... His girlfriend was one of the most stunning women I've ever seen. Why throw that away!!?
