Sweeper

Counter that high back line! I like it but our defence iis so bad he would pick up so many reds stopping goal scoring chances

lamela has shown about as much this season as holtby though hengy…. i.e. holtby has shown us faaack all bar one screamer at fulham

Pauliniho is a luxury player we cannot afford to be carrying tbh.

Last season when Verts was happy and teaming up with Bale from a LB position he was amazing!

He is in a sulk and has been all season just about and thats why he has been below par in all positions

Paulinho seems the type of player that needs the team built around him.

He's not good enough for that though. I'd rather go 4231 without him in it. Sandro and Dembele provide the protection for the attacking 4.

Sandro would be a risky sweeper

hengy, holtby was at spurs over a year, and in that time he showed marginally more than lamela showed in the 5 games that lamela played or whatever it was.

i quite like holtby, but its about time you admitted that for spurs he was pretty ropey 95% of the time. offered virtually nothing.

i have faith he will eventually do well at spurs though.

Lamela is going to be class.

Better footballer than Eriksen imo (who is class himself)

Let's hope the club give the lad the time to show his quality

Holtby assisted pretty much all of Defoe's goals and had a understanding with Defoe that Ade could only dream of having this season with anyone

defoe doesn't play for us any more, so what good does holtbys "amazing" understanding with defoe do us?

Lloris is an excellent sweeper but a rubbish kicker!

Exactly! All the better to have two!

Sandro makes a fair point about Holtby, although I can see him going for a quick profit.

Scribe ^^

It means that he has the capability to grow understandings with other players quickly which no other attacking midfielder seems capable of at our club!

When your sub striker is in your top 3 assists you really have to question the quality at our disposal

not sure how holtbys relationship with defoe is relevant at all going forward tbh…

he needs to get himself a relationship with a player who actually plays for spurs.

Chronic - Lamela has shown nothing in a spurs shirt. Don't want to hear about his good half hour in Europa.

I always maintained Lamela was a next season buy so will look forward to seeing him play.

I'd rather have fast thinking players like holtby Eriksen than slow players like paulinho

please can you tell me what you are basing this amazing relationship with defoe on? i know it cant be a couple of assists against aston villa youth in the carling cup? or nobody fc in the europa league?

what has holtby actually shown at the highest level in a spurs shirt that warrant him being in the first eleven?

i suggest nothing, which is why he was loaned out, and not even missed really.

shame, and i hope he will come good, but thus far he has been way below what we saw of him for shalke in the CL.

Holtby actually showing any type of link up play with a striker is 10 x better than what we are getting from our AM at the moment! Soldado is our second best assist and we only play 1 up front ffs!

Think scribe is saying if he picked up a good understanding with Defoe in the cup matches they played together then he can do it with others given the chance.

One thing for sure we have a very good squad and with a decent manager we might get to see it

please can you point out all the premier league assists that holtby as provided….

Holtby is good, but nothing special. He's not exactly shone at Fulham as I hoped he would.

Good squad player, but I'd rather Bentaleb than him to be honest.

Btw, what is Holtby's best position. He certainly doesn't score or create enough to be a nunber 10. I'd have him in the squad as a cm challenging Dembele and Bentaleb.
