Re: Best midfielder in Tottenham ?
Is this thread referring to the best midfielder playing for Tottenham or the best midfielder living in Tottenham, as I've heard that Alexis Sanchez lives in a flat in Tottenham, so therefore my answer would be him? Then again, you could argue he's not technically a 'midfielder' in the general sense, as he has played most of his career as a forward/striker, and so maybe he doesn't truly count off the back of FPL miss-classifying him alone.

Re: Best midfielder in Tottenham ?
Curiously, a similar recent thread (including a poll) veered off-topic before getting very far. Maybe there's a jinx?

Re: Best midfielder in Tottenham ?
So when everyone is fit, what is Spurs strongest midfield?

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Thread merged with existing one. I've also reset the poll (as it's probably out of date/of little use now). Previous results where as follows:
Lamela 24 40%
Eriksen 26 43%
Alli 8 13%
Sissoko 0 No votes
Son 0 No votes
Dier 0 No votes
Wanyama 0 No votes
Dembele 1 2%
Nkoudo 1 2%

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Good work as usual, thanks.
Things have changed a bit in recent weeks - Son scored twice last weekend and worked incredibly hard this weekend, Alli has looked sharper recently, meanwhile this weekend both Lamela and Eriksen were benched!
Personally I'd steer clear for the time being. Alli is expensive, and it's hard to know which of the others will get the most game time. For that reason, despite all this waffle, I've not actually voted in the new poll - perhaps we can reissue the poll again in 3/4 weeks...

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Has to be Alli for me, his season will start from now, after he signed a new contract and put his summer woes behind him.

Re: Tottenham Midfield
I'm struggling to understand why we paid megabucks for Sissoko. Is he better than Chadli?...or Townsend?

Re: RE: Re: Tottenham Midfield
Sorry to say it but he's not great. We (Newcastle fans) are basically astonished we got 30m. He is a real powerhouse and sometimes looks the business because of that, but his close control is very very poor, his crossing is incredibly sporadic, but worst is his decision making. He's also a diabolical finisher and not a great passer either. But he is powerfull. And fairly nippy when he gets going. Really not a player suited for your system at all imo.Brightwater wrote:I'm struggling to understand why we paid megabucks for Sissoko. Is he better than Chadli?...or Townsend?

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Son has looked very good in the short space of time he's been on the pitch imo. Could also be used up top now Kane is injured, definitely on my watch list

Re: Tottenham Midfield
More chances for everyone now, especially Jenssen... Kane out for 2 months with ankle ligament damage.
Maybe some redemption for Eriksen owners...
Alli as a false 9...

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Personally I see Janssen as fairly secure in that position for the next 2 months now. He'sgot a mean penalty record (scored 12/12 career) so is a good bet to take over pens. I'm not hugely interested in a Spurs midfielder right now, but should he fit in well I may be tempted by a 7.8m Spurs lone striker from GW8. It's a bit of a wait and see for from me I rekon, with the Man City game in GW7 giving a good excuse to sit back and survey.Ironfist wrote:More chances for everyone now, especially Jenssen...

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Now planning on punting Janssen for this WC.
Don't think spurs have anybody else to replace Kane (Maybe Son?) But I think he will be given a chance upfront and could be a steal

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Jansenn will play number 9 until Kane is fit and what an option. If he's on penalties as well it's a no brainer.

The stats are dark and full of errors.
Re: Tottenham Midfield
Is the two months confirmed? It looked like speculation from what I read this morning, something between a couple of weeks and several months...

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Not officially confirmed but the 8 weeks to 2 months line has been reeled out by just about every paper/blog. That would I believe make it GW12 (after the IB) as an estimate.Mav3rick wrote:Is the two months confirmed?

So if correct and we were to wait a couple of weeks to see (and avoid MCI) we'd really be down to only 4 weeks in our teams as an estimate. Not that great tbh.

Re: RE: Re: Tottenham Midfield
I can't see Pochettino being as indulgent of that kind of attitude as his previous managers have been. If his attitude is bad, he'll find himself very quickly benched. It's not like they're short of options in midfield.The Toon Man wrote:[Sissoko's} Attitude/work rate when it isn't going well worth a mention too. Spurs fans will learn all of the above and quickly.

Re: RE: Re: Tottenham Midfield
Benitez got the best out of him at the back end of last season. However, he made him captain and gave him a number 10 role. Poch won't be giving him such luxuries and it won't take long to see the dummy get spat outPirlo's Beard wrote:I can't see Pochettino being as indulgent of that kind of attitude as his previous managers have been.

Re: Tottenham Midfield
Go on my Son!?!
Son played in the striker role at the weekend, with Jansen dropping out. Alli, Lamela & Eriksen in the three attacking mid slots. If Kane is a shoo-in to resume the striker role, does Son drop back to bench, or into an attacking mid role, with Lamela the most likely drop out?
Or... Does Spurs' meatier squad this year mean the whole midfield will be prone to rotation, and they're best avoided? I'm considering Antonio > Son for this week, but only if his gametime looks secure
