If we do sign Eriksen, I hope Gutter Boy won't keep peddling his opinion of how he's a crap version of Sigurdsson because he didn't play well for Denmark on the two occasions he's seen him.
Thankfully it's a bullet we've dodged, because there's no way we'll go for him now we've got Holtby as well as Siggy for that position.
For which position?
Siggy has played mostly on the left cutting in, and Holtby hasn't really settled in one position yet for us.
#10/ACM. Or whichever of the three behind the forward isn't Bale and Lennon.
With Dempsey there too, it's actually the position we're already most overloaded in.
Doing some reminiscing as Postigas name was brought up in the bricky XI thread. The summer we signed him, we also added Kanoute and Zamora.
We also had Keane on the books.
I'd take that forward line in a heart beat over today's.
At that age (rather than the 35 year old he is now), Kanoute alone would give us a far better first team and far stronger squad. Hell of a player.
Biggest mistake of Jol's tenure to get rid of him.

I loved Kanoute too, he's just the style of striker that we adore. A player with a good first touch, good in the air, scores goals and unselfish. He's just the type of player that we could do with now.
The whole ACN issues are obviously what soured support for him, which is unfair given the relatively short time that he was away. If he qualified to play for a country and was recognised and invited to play for that country then the only reason we can be mad at him for taking up the opportunity is our own desperation in not having an adequate player in back up for him.
