Wilson Odobert

Finney Is Back said:
If Solanke is injured than Lankshear can come in. Richarlison has been injured for about 40% of his time at Spurs it is nothing new and probably the reason why the club brought in Solanke to replace him as first choice.


Also not convinced that Wilson is really much better than our other wide players at beating his opponent one on one: Hr has lots of potential but is far from being a first choose player for Spurs. As I said before, we have lost two subs.

Odobert started two of the three league games he was eligible to play (coming off the bench in the third) and also started the cup game - not sure he's a 'sub'

It's a bit odd that people attribute a label on a player's status on the squad that actively goes against the evidence (albeit limited) as if they have an inside line on Ange's inner thoughts / choices made. It's semantics but any player who is on the bench at anytime is called a sub so Finney is technically right....If people want to pick a fixed position based on nothing and stick by it then that's fair enough I guess. It must be lovely to having warm feelings about the likes of Lankshear or others who haven't played a single minute of men's football, if that's where our hopes lie for the season it speaks volumes.

To me having Odobert and Richy out leaves us pretty much where we were last season in terms of the front line, both start when fit and both are potentially huge options to change the game, the stance of belittling their impact is a curious one.

Losing Gil / Solomon hasn't made much of a difference and Son isn't going to become a year younger again anytime soon. It's an odd time for the squad, whilst endeavoring to mainly be positive about where we're at losing a 1st team player like Wilson isn't ideal as a viable alternative to mixing things up has gone for now at least.

I’m really not convinced that either of them start when all are fit, I think Solanke is definitely ahead of Richi in the pecking order and if Solanke plays CF then I think Odobert is behind Son on the left hand side.

But Id guess they'd be starting games given the number coming thick and fast.

Otherwise you're commiting those 'first choicers' to a 55 game season.

I think most bigger clubs want to run a first choice squad of 18ish players.

So when does the "When all are fit" time come in to play? Is it when Bassong completes his suspension?

Either way it's good to have options, necessary even, I can't really recall what the discussion was about but I hope Odobert is fit again soon. Good to see Johnson getting some numbers on the board in his stead.

I'm not sure that Richy and Sokanke are worlds apart other than the key point of availability, I'd be interested to hear how Ange would assess their pros and cons..
 
Luckily there's 2 international breaks in Oct and Nov so he'll probably miss 8 or 9 games. I can't wait to see what he can do when fit and flying.
 
Such a shame this injury has come now. He'd be a real help in our European games and would be getting integrated in the system. No-one else atm brings that dribbling ability in tight positions as well....sigh..

But he will be getting coached still so he will be learning the systems I assume
 
It's one thing that's a bit of an issue with our squad building - Odobert, Moore, Yang, Son, Richarlison and Werner all prefer/do better on the left, whereas only Johnson is right.

Bit early to be saying that about players as young as Odobert, Moore and Yang... I think Odobert was signed in part because he can play both sides. How and where these players do better in this system, in these roles is yet to be seen.

Richarlison for me is no more than emergency cover on the left.
