Makes sense.
A Spurs fan couldn't have said it any better.
PS - That would also just leave us with one striker for the season now that Welbeck has gone.
Class post.
He is not our best player, Auba is.
Also, I said sell him and invest the funds. Liverpool dod the same thing with Suarez and Coutinho. How did that panned out? Do you really think the board will give 80m to spend without selling some of the assets?
You are calling me a Sp*rs fan for voicing a contrarian opinion? Give me a f***ing break.
I didn't call you a Spurs fan at all, read the post right at least.
What I said was a Spurs fan would love us to sell Laca which is my point, it hurts us not helps us.
Auba is not our best player, he's joint with Laca, Laca does more beneficial team work than Auba who is just a goal scorer (nothing wrong with that by the way) but Laca contributes hold up play, defense, pressing and is the only striker who plays well enough in the box, Auba tends to swoop into the box, Laca can hang in there as the central man.
Either way we need them both, we have no 3rd striker and please don't give me the "reinvest talk" as I was going to say to Zenith, Liverpool could do it but as far as AFC goes they'd withhold funds and buy shank players.
No way they make up for losing Laca, we bought him for £55m, it'd cost £80m to actually buy a true performing replacement from another team.
No, sign him to a long term contract and build around Laca & Auba, its our best strikers since RVP, we've had to wait 5 years for this, we're lucky we landed them.
Mislinslat's last major gift to us was getting us Auba (....and Leno and Sokratis, poss Torreia as well), trust me, we won't get another with the sh*t scouts we're looking to hire.
Man I miss Mislinslat, every player he got us is a major part of the spine of the team, I'm dreading the new scout system, even Emery isn't going to be able to do better than Sven and neither is Edu.
