TaylorJ_01 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Palacios is very one dimensional but great at that one dimension. Take him past the half way line and the pitch will cave in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorJ_01 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Actually, now I think of it, Alex Ferguson is playing this transfer window like I would on FM. Picking up random youngsters n all that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest kingdawson Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Huddleston or palacious? I thought Wilson would be nailed on. How has Bassong performed? Bassong's been very good. He's done a better job then most spurs fans ever expected/hoped (including me). Palacios didn't have a very good season last year and our best performances and results came when Luka and Huddlestone played cm and Bale was on the wing. Still rate him very highly but he's certainly not a guaranteed starter anymore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segun Oluwaniyi Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Also hasn't Modric pretty much tried and failed as a holding player? Holding player? That's not his role at all unless he has a natural defensive player in 4-2-3-1 next to him. He has no defensive qualities. If these rumours of Onuoha going to Sunderland are true, then I am quite incensed. If it really is a loan, we should have been grovelling at Man City's feet to complete the deal.

Guest kingdawson Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Gomes Corluka-Dawson-King-Bale Huddlestone-Palacios Lennon-Ireland-Modric Remy No. Bellamy is pure class and would allow us to be more direct. We'd counter attack teams to death with him and Lennon on the wings and Ireland central, besides Luka can play the cm role very effectively (him and Ireland can easily swap positions to confuse opposition with my proposed line up). It's either Hudds or Palacios imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye Ramos used to play him there on his own. He might be better with a defensive player next to him but to get the best out of him surely he needs to be somewhere in that attacking three? Agreed, but Hughton was never going to be look for a righ back after we brought Perch in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 That's based on not hearing much about Bellamy joining you, is it looking certain? If so he needs to be in there probably drop Lennon and play Ireland on the right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest kingdawson Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Also hasn't Modric pretty much tried and failed as a holding player? He wouldn't be holding. Either Huddlestone or Palacios would be the one sitting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Honestly can't see City selling Bellamy to Spurs. I reckon they'd rather bung him in the 'Elite Squad' than give him to a direct rival. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Still, when I saw Modric playing deep under Ramos he really struggled to leave his mark in the game. But the whole side was pretty awful and he'd just arrived. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaylorJ_01 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Dunno like, two non-natural wingers playing as wingers would make my eyes bleed a bit. I rate Lennon anyway. You have a bloody good squad KD, lucky bastard! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gash Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I just don't think Modric should play deep. There's nothing wrong with playing 2 'non-natural' wingers we do it and it's fine! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I think it works on the left given how good is Bale coming from deep and giving them width. Corluka I don't rate that much and it would be a crime to drop Lennon, up until his injury last season he was Spurs' best player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the whole side was pretty awful and he'd just arrived. He's just not a deep player anyway, imo. He likes the run forward with the ball into attacking areas instead of spraying it to the forwards like traditional players in that position. Also, he very slight physique would make it difficult for him to survive there in the CL or the Premiership Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but dropping Lennon is never going to happen nor should it. I suppose we could play Luka as the amc and Ireland deeper but Ireland possesses a bigger goal scoring threat and gets him self in far better attacking positions. Luka can play cm without sitting. Just give him and Ireland freedom to interchange and it's all good. Plus Luka is better at picking passes from deep position than Ireland is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ameritoon Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Probably just better to swap Modric and Ireland in that situation, Modric seems more comfortable behind the strikers and Ireland coming from the middle. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
