Ganso (22), maybe falls into that category of not getting 100k a week but he has a lot of potential. Hazard (21) is a world class player imo and Remy (25) is up there as well.

I'm with you and @nixspur I would stick em all on 90+k a week deals for 3 years and throw caution to the wind.

But Levy won't. It's such a shame.

Time will tell but if you havent seen Hazard or Remy in action try to watch them. They are great players mate.

I know you're joking but lately I've been a fan of the 3-5-2. The 3 man back line is going to be the next big thing. I know it's not new but I think it's the tactical next step for teams that play possession football. Barca and Juve have been employed these tactics very well this season.

I don't think we have the right personnel to do with, which isn't a bad thing. There's just no way you can play Bale, Lennon, Walker and BAE.

He is young and from what i have seen from santos games,he sure can hit and pass the ball. He also have mad technical skills. He knows Sandro.
Great back up to Modric... Big Ganso fan.. would love to have him at spurs

When Glenda was England manager he commonly went 3-5-2, which is fine except when you try to use it for players used to 4-4-2.

I'm intrigued by Bielsa's 3-3-1-3. High tempo, yet can go horribly wrong. A real shit or bust formation perhaps?

Speaking of Bielsa.

Yeah I remember, and England were a little more entertaining but like you said England didn't have the players.

I think when it fails people are quick to point to the 3 at the back but in modern football fullbacks are just extra wingers anyways. I think that's excuses for failings elsewhere on the pitch. Personally I think having a 3 man back-line is essentially saying I'll abandon the fullbacks and add another strong defender. Whereas you typically hear people view that as losing defensive strength. That doesn't always have to be the case especially because these days FB's are average defenders. When the defenders are versatile like Chellini who can play CB, LB and DM I think it makes you more solid then playing with a true FB.

Just for argument sake say if we played with this sometime in the future.



You have cover left to right because both Kaboul and Vertonghen can play FB.

Caulker stays home which he'd do anyways being a stereotypical stopper.

And Sandro can protect the back three sort of like De Rossi.

I wouldn't be for us playing that tactically because good players wouldn't get selected but I don't understand the negativity sometimes with 3 players at the back in modern football. It can work if the players are well drilled and you have the right personnel.
