I'm 90% sure he is but will happily defer to Rudi Garcia on the issue. He seems like he would know for certain.

(haha sorry wrong thread, I get confused by all this "... are still a big club" business.
― Tim, Friday, 22 August 2014 10:42 (nine years ago) link
I'm pretty sure Vlad is a better player than either Dawson or Kaboul (now) but Poch doesn't want any of them. Kaboul is basically unsellable and Dawson doesn't seem to want to go to the sort of club that would sign him and this point.
Given QPR's recent signings at the back that looks like another dream has just died.

Paulinho is completely inessential and maybe now psychologically scarred but I bet you we still get decent money when we inevitably ship him off to some Serie A leper colony.
Mostly I find myself idly wondering if Lewis Holtby can be converted from a number ten into a deeper lying playmaker. He seems to have all the attributes but I'm not sure what his long passing is like.
― Matt DC, Friday, 22 August 2014 10:56 (nine years ago) link
iirc holtby has said he's v happy to play the 6/8 box to box linebreaker but he's not really had the run of games to see either way
he can spot a quick pass but idk about sitting there spraying it around, be more of a direct high-intensity dembele riff, would suit poch better you'd think
― r|t|c, Friday, 22 August 2014 11:28 (nine years ago) link
yeah if he starts its as an eriksen mirror in a high central two behind a lone striker I'd imagine, not as a carrier

My thinking is that he's energetic, runs tirelessly and can tackle, his decision-making with the ball is fast and usually good but I usually see him making quick shortish passes in and around the area, dunno if I can see him spraying it out to the flanks.
― Matt DC, Friday, 22 August 2014 16:51 (nine years ago) link
this is fucking good stuff
paulinho Kane dembele Andros Sandro all looking more like players worth having in an xi than has been the case in a long time
― nakh is the wintour of our diss content (darraghmac), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:00 (nine years ago) link
agree except Townsend still doing his terrible head down run to the corner flag thing
― anonanon, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:04 (nine years ago) link
yeah but the odd surge into centre is promising
Kane with some very nice touches around half time
― nakh is the wintour of our diss content (darraghmac), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:07 (nine years ago) link
Kane's finishing is still terrible, gifted goal aside.
― Wristy Hurlington (ShariVari), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:09 (nine years ago) link
His passing is getting better though.

can't help but feel that one oughtn't look so relieved after taking a meaningless penalty tbh
― nakh is the wintour of our diss content (darraghmac), Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:16 (nine years ago) link
Southampton supposedly are willing to pay 10-12m for Townsend, wouldn't miss him at that price
― anonanon, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:22 (nine years ago) link
Kinda think we should forget about fourth and go all-out for this tournament tbh.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 28 August 2014 20:25 (nine years ago) link
idk pace and willingness to run could be harnessed into a v decent wide option but its def true to say that as it is we won't get that much value out of him keeping him around
