...keeping our powder dry and buying smarter...
Sorry - but that's horseshitBarkley is the best option available.
Are you drunk?The best options are all gone, this summer. Better wait 12 months and see.
I think if we sign him he's going to be quite mediocre as he fails to learn Pochettino's press, and he'll play very little anyway as Eriksen is fit and well beyond him.
I'd rather not spend money on a guy who'll never challenge his squadmates.
Sorry - but that's horseshit
Fine, straight swap with Sissoko and I'm happy.History tells me that if you can you always sign players from the PL, the chances of them fitting in immediately are far higher.
Barkley is the best option available.
How ironic - your surname should be Redknapp. 'Buy only from the PL' - LMFAOLike you have a fucking clue!!
Does anyone else think Barkley is a tad overrated.
He's 10 month younger than Eriksen. He's made 137 apps, 3 more than Eriksen over last 4 seasons.
Yet he's played 982 mins less? If he's that good why has he been withdrawn a lot.
Eriksen has scored 10 more goals over those four seasons 31
And made 20 more assists, 38.
So if Barkley was to play those extra 982 mins, approx 10 PL games with added time, he'd have to score a goal and 2 assists in each game to match Eriksen.
Some say Eriksen is a lightweight who goes missing.
Hope we don't get any injuries.
Son was LB vs Chelsea, afaikAn injury to Trippier would see either a repeat of the nonsense that was Son at RB or else KWP starting aginst the likes of Chelsea and some unknown 16 year old on the bench.
Those attempting to argue we aren't significantly weaker at the minute are fucking high
Let's not mention the 3rd keeper situation, eh?
If we don't buy smarter, that's a problem for Levy and Pochettino because they're doing it wrong.I've lost count of (a) how many times I've seen that posted on forums and (b) the times we in fact don't then buy smarter, which in turn leads to (a)
Yeah, but how many would he have played if Lamela was fit?Sissoko played 33 times last season.....
Yet here we are.Comparing Eriksen with Barkley is an insult.
TruesaySo was LB vs Chelsea, afaik
Yeah, but how many would he have played if Lamela was fit?
Nope, he's round your house, he knows you're at work.I take it CJJ must be on his lunch break ?
