I think N'Jie's primary role will be playing backup CF to Harry.

Son should start immediately, if he is fit.

Our depth at the CF position isn't the best it could be, but it isn't the train wreck people are acting like it is. I still think we personally need another CM, but I'm starting to come around on the ole Dier train. Toot toot everyone.

Dier's game against Everton made me think he can really play DM. This highlight clip is really solid. Does things that you would expect of Schneiderlin and the likes. The backpasses to Hugo under pressure are particularly impressive.

I might be crazy, but I'm more on board with Dier than I am either Bentaleb or Mason. I'd like to have him running around blowing stuff up and target a real playmaking center mid. I think we did a pretty solid job overall in the window though, Toby and Son should both be legit upgrades at positions of need, and while it looks like we still lack striker depth, it's possible we've got guys who can fill that role. I do think we're going to continue to struggle to score if either Erikson or Kane are off the field, though.

Yeah absolutely.

Eriksen is our best player up front. His creativity is unmatched in our final 3rd.

We could always put Lamela at striker behind Kane. Couldn't be any shittier there than he is at RM now.

That is such a good video, the music fits very well.

Dier looked great in that game. It's weird how much bigger he looks in the midfield than he ever did played centreback.

Son with the hat trick against Laos today.

Should be great for his form and character in SK. Levy licking his chops.

And, FYI, apparently he's listed as a forward by Spurs. So, I guess we got one.

Him and N'Jie have both been listed as forwards.

It feels weird to me that going into Europa games our formation will basically be a 4-6-0.

Team website has N'Jie as a mid.

Will be extremely pissed if Son doesn't start on our wing immediately.

I agree. He's fit. We need some damn goals. No need for Poch to go slow.

So, wait, we did NOT sell Fazio? I thought we had....but he's still listed on the squad on the fantasy site, he's not listed in the transfers and is included in the official EPL roster LINK

We were shopping him to West Brom mostly. Peace decided to be a complete douche about our Saido transfer, so we backed off selling them Fazio.

Yo Sticky, I'm waiting until the next FIFA comes out to pick up the sticks for that. If you get it you can wreck me that day, but it's going to be Tottenham vs. Tottenham.

For some reason, I thought it had been announced.

It seems like anyone can just send an email to a european sports news magazine claiming to be ITK and they will publish what you say, no matter how crazy.
