Hope you're right. He is a very cool character, admittedly.

Disagrees on my post... I do wish to point out that I don't want Eriksen to leave us for pastures new. There's a difference between thinking something won't happen and not wanting it to happen.
Seeing Bentaleb's tweet filled me with a lot of optimism to be honest.

Stop making blatantly wrong statements to fit the square peg that is Llrorente into the round hole that is Poch's style, and I'll stop being sarcastic.
I don't know your definition of " a lot", but last season we had the 3rd most possession in the PL, ie. the third most time on the ball to whip in crosses. Yet we had the only the tied 12th most (or tied 7th least) crosses per game. Further we had 6th most short passes, and tied 14th most (or tied 6th least) long passes.
Our whole game plan is not set up to work it wide for crosses. In fact, Poch main mantra is looking for the incisive vertical pass, rather than the horizontal one.
Yorkshire_Spurs As an aside to my previous post, it's interesting to see which of our players are getting excited about the stadium plans.
Bentaleb responds with:
Whereas Eriksen gives a far more general 'that looks great' statement about it. Almost like a player who sees themselves at Barcelona by then.
Probably reading a bit too much into it mate

I think they were "forced" to tweet about it, almost every player did so.
I'm looking forward to the "Can't wait to play at the new stadium #godisgood " from Mr Adebayor
Almost definitely.
True but if I am right Llorente is reasonable technically adept so should be versitile enough to work in the existing system and offer a tweak and will be a rotational option or impact sub. Perhaps plan B might become a reality.
Heard on the radio this afternoon; Sevilla have put have a €30million release clause in his contract. Just let that sink in for a minute. THIRTY MILLION EUROS. 3.0.
i know under poch we look for more vertical passes but we still create about 30% of our chances from wide areas which is decent enough and llorente is pretty decent on the deck to sit there and say he is a square peg in a round whole is crap. hes an alternative, something bit different to what we have and afterall if were linked to him poch obviously thinks he can offer something in his round hole your the only square peg around here mate
Work yes, excel no. But that's just my opinion. I'm not trying to be a cunt here - on purpose anyway - and I respect that reasoning more so than wing play. Like I said in another post, if Poch thinks, he can make Llorente (or any other big striker work), then in Poch I trust. I just highly doubt that's the case.
If we're looking to bring in a 30 year-old striker, it should be someone who fits like a glove (Tevez comes to mind as someone missed). Otherwise I'd much prefer someone in their early twenties, who can develop into the kind of player to take us to the next, rather than a stopgap that might work.

:chadliwtf:
I'll go ahead and assume that your 30% is valid. I'll still prefer someone with their best skills in areas needed for the method by which, we create 70% of our chances, but hey I'm strange and square like that.....
If Poch thinks, everyone of the, I don't know how many hundreds, players we've been linked with has something to offer, then I'm all of a sudden worried about his judgement! Not everyone linked is someone the manager actually wants. Is this your first transfer window?
Don't get me wrong I get the point but if as one third of our stricking options (black box signing to come...) we could do a lot worse.
You can always do worse. I was only half joking with my Soldado-sarcasm before. I'd sooner keep Soldado than bring in Llorente.
