I don't need u to read between lines here
sorry keith but that puts me at a disadvantage .....how else am i supposed to read it? everything you offered up until this point is completely vague and open to interpretation. nothing that you have said before here could be itemised at all. It actually comes across a bit worse i think if you dont read between the lines if you get my drift
.. I said from onset I don't want a dm I want a cm and with that cm comes a player who either totally excels like a modric type or a player who offers a bit of everything . Presence , leadership , offers creativity , has a brain and knows how to use it ..who can play between lines not pass sideways majority of time ..
right..so you want a world class player thats a CM that can either do everything that an AM , CM and Dm does to a good / high degree or is a world class deep lying all round play maker.
i am not sure if you think thats easy or not seeing as you said its totally dependent on levy.....like he can get us a player like that if he wanted to.
(No wonder bentaleb is considered not good enough and you judge a good game of his against everton as poor. he will never measure up for the next year or two)
Now maybe this a overall pattern of play thing with Spurs but also a cm who doesn't give away silly fouls a lot
Hmm, that narrows the field even further..i was thinking if we had a spare 190K to 300K we could possibly try and tempt away someone thats like yaya toure...but he does seem to foul a hell of a lot these days..and his motivation appears to do with monetary values....i cant think of someone that we could get with this current squad with our current business model that would be willing to come
If only levy would just break the bank like a rich king / prince with a bottomless well of wealth
, goes missing for long spells or whose job is to pass out ball to walker and rose and not much else ..
Midfielders jobs are to protect defence and offer creativity and goal threat at other end ..
yes i gathered that you are looking for a player that resembles Yaya toure, Toni Kroos , pogba etc.......... like i said , thats a big problem but in the mean time i guess we have to settle with 'poor' performances like what bentaleb put out against everton
Bentaleb falls between all chairs on everything .. But again not picking on him .. He is a young lad learning the game ...
that's your opinion....you're right to see him as such, you'll excuse me if i disagree on how talented i think he is and what he offers us NOW
I'll repeat for u cos all u seem interested in going is identifying me as the guy who doesn't look at stats and who wants wants a 6'5 dm built like a brick ****house .. what I want is a cm who knows his job and who is a top player not someone learning his trade as he goes along , fudgeing us up in the mean time .. Plenty of Europa games and carling up matches and average home games to give such players in important position a chance to grow ... If we want to do well we need a cm who can offer us lots more than what we currently have .. For the record I rate mason way more than Bentaleb ..
actually i can only identify you as the stuff you write whch was "i dont like stats" and something along the lines of "My gran can beat mason and bentaleb and despite what stats say i would prefer wanyama cause he has prescence etc",
you have elaborated more here for us to read..i think its unrealistic personally and i think you might be disappointed with our next 3 purchases in that position as they dont reach your quota.
