He is getting wasted as a bit part player though. Is ade link up really better. He may hold it up well but he does tend to fumble around with the ball too much and wastes golden chances. Siggy is tall, has great feet and a power shot. He isn't taking holtbys place. It's his after to sub appearances lol

Sorry for no ?s and two*
is in the squad. Surely he should start
The same as
Stanners
, but would take Naughton over Walker.

I think you've answered your own question!
Personally, I think Dempsey and Siggy are essentially the same player, both were brought in to somehow alleviate VDV's departure, but neither is really a suitable replacement.... But Holtby might be!!!
Once the squad is settled, I can see Dempsey & Siggy being used as efficient, useful substitutes, but no more than that. Neither is an upgrade on what we already had.. But Holtby might be!!!
Dempsey and Siggy not only sound like an '80s cop show, they pretty much ARE the 'good cop bad cop' equivalent of eachother.... They will prove to be valued members of the squad, but the thought of either of them leading the line gives me shivers, even IF Sunday worked out, it felt like a one-off, needs-must gamble that somehow worked out!
Ade or Defoe with Holtby or Bale behind them is just about as strong as we've got now!

Maybe I'm getting carried away with siggy as a striker but if I had the choice of playing him or Dempsey it would be siggy everyday. Siggy isn't living up to expectation because he never plays. I'm glad Dempsey finally scored against man u because he had chance after chance and wasted it. I'm not avb but I would have subbed him five minutes after he kicked it right at De gea when dembele put him through. There is quality in siggy and maybe If the squad is fully fit he can't start but when we use a loan striker he should be preferred over Dempsey. If we keep ignoring him he will sign for a Liverpool and he will come back to haunt us. Next time he comes on with 5 mins remaining watch his touches
Defoe is injured otherwise I wouldn't bother asking lol
I agree but if he doesn't come good for 3 games while Defoe is out then something should be tried as we didn't sign a quality striker this window. Siggy would have bee crushed that we signed holtby too. Life I guess
Because Sigurdsson isn't physically strong enough.
You need at least one player in your front two to be capable of at least challenging centre backs for headers or you have no "out ball" whatsoever.
With current personnel Sigurdsson is only ever going to get a run in the team if Adebayor is playing a head of him.
because Defoe is massive? Siggy is the same size as Dempsey so that is a flawed reason
Defoe has only ever played with Adebayor or Dempsey - for the exact reason I stated.
Dempsey is far tougher and more of battler than Sigurdsson.........Dempsey is even pretty renowned for his headed goals
Naughton over Walker? Never in a million years. Lloris, BAE, Caulker, Vertonghen, Walker, Parker(reluctantly), Dembele, Bale, Holtby, Lennon, Adebayor(reluctantly)The same as
I have to admit I agree.
If Spurs manage to improve the squad with players-better-than-our-best-present-all-XI over the summer it will most likely be with a central midfielder (a possession player), a striker and possibly a winger upgrade on Lennon (harsh, I know).
In that scenario, even if we just get a midfielder and a striker for the first XI I don't see anyone of Dempsey nor Siggy anywhere near the first XI.
I can well see both of them be unhappy with just that and leave at latest at next january, unfortunately.
Pick the names out a hat and FRAAB
No
No. Five minutes after the play that saw him kick it at de gea. I think it was the 60-70 min and it was when dembele played the inside ball. Rvp needs 4 chances. Dempsey needs 10. Very frustrating. Give siggy a chance behind ade?
