Hahaha.... Ridiculous. 

 

Re: Fekir being very left footed. I guess you could say most players are. That being said, he has scored a few with his right... And he does occasionally cross /pass with the right. 

 

He scored a goal from the half way line this season where he shifted it to his right and let fly. And one of his goals was a one on one vs the keeper where he used his right. You'd have to have some ability and confidence in your right foot to do that, to be fair.

Still. He is quite left footed. As is Mahrez. (And Robben, and you could add Salah to that as well.)

Hey Jack Wilson here's a hot scoop for you:

f**k off and do your own journalism instead of being lazy and taking the discussions of this board and using the quotes out of context. 

 

Considering how your article looks like something a first year journalism student would write I'd say you need all the experience you can get when it comes to writing a proper piece.

Cheers.

I wouldn't sell Luiz in the middle of the season. An injury or 2 and we'd be massively regretting it, plus I still think he could play LCB instead of Cahill, I'm sure he used to play on the left years ago.

If Baba is back from his injury soon, I would start easing him into contention for the LWB position.

Really I would have liked us to sign a better RWB, but it's not been 6 months since we signed Zappacosta and we're not going to get rid of him any time soon, so we're stuck there.

 

I'd like a better option up front, since Michy is obviously not in Conte's plans, and ideally a better attacking option than Pedro/Willian as well.

 

OUT

Kenedy (loan or sell)
Musonda (PL loan) - I know Swansea need some creative players!
Batshyaui (PL loan)

IN

Attacking Mid/Winger - Lemar/Fakhir/Mahrez/similar
Striker - Icardi/Immobile/Aubameyang/Higuain/similar

That Roma match really did Luiz.

He was doing alrighty till that point. Some of his old slackness was creeping back in but alright he was.

(Interesting spelling for Fekir you have there... I wonder where you're from...?)

Hard to see us buying anyone who will significantly improve us in January given teams are unlikely to sell players who could mate a difference to their season. 

Also tough to convince players to move to a new club 6 months before a World Cup,  unless they aren't getting matches now.

I'd love a striker and a new left back though. Baba may fit the bill for the latter.

Need to start investing in some English/British talent. Always thought as a versatile defender Ben Davies would be a great signing. Extremely underrated footballer who has played at the highest level domestically and internationally. He wouldn't break the bank too. Think he'd fit in well too.

All the English players are going to Spurs.

Squad player who could fill LWB and LCB. Very underrated player. Always thought he looked good on the ball and solid in defence. He's the type of player you'd want in your squad. Sure we were eyeing him a while back. He's a sheaky good player.
