Soldado Lamela Cazorla Ozil

Spurs

I rate all of the Spurs 4 quite highly.

I rate 2 of the Arsenal 4 very highly, the other 2 are meh.

It's close tbh.

Soldado!

Honestly, I'd take 2 from each: (Lamela, Soldado, Cazorla and Ozil) but the Arsenal 2 I'd be taking are better than anyone else on that list.

all those players are better than Utd's Midfielders in Giggs,Cleverly,Carrick and Anderson thats for sure.

Giroud-Podolski-Cazorla-Ozil

When you look at that team, the average Joe fan will say:

1) Giroud? but he has no pace, how can he be good
2) Podolski? I saw him fall over one time, useless player
3) Cazorla? Typical overrated crap, why do the media love him, nowhere near as good as true playmakers like Gerrard LAA
4) Ozil? If he was any good, why would Real Madrid sell him?

Then the 'average fan' looks at the Spurs team:

Soldado-Lamela-Paulinho-Dembele

1) Soldado? Top player, clinical finisher as we saw in the opening two prem games, his goals were outstanding

2) Lamela? He was amazing for me on Football Manager, shrewd signing by AVB.

3) Paulinho? He's brazillian, obviously a good player, I saw him score a goal in the Confeds cup, top player

4) Dembele? He's pretty fast for me on FIFA, top player

I'd MAYBE take Lamela ahead of Podolski in a year or so once he's adapted to the league but that's about it, the three others are Arsenal. You all know how much I rate Giroud and after his scoring record this season other people are too. Cazorla and Ozil there's no fúcking doubt, both miles better than their spurs counterparts.

Penguin has got it spot on there.

Right now I'd take the Arsenal players. Especially Cazorla and Ozil.

Giroud has also impressed me, his goal against Spurs wasn't just a tap in, he has the movement and the finishing ability.

They aren't like-for-like at all though are they?

You have a striker, and three forwards.

We have a striker, one forward and two CMs.

The lists should either be......




Arsenal
Giroud-Podolski-Cazorla-Ozil

Tottenham
Soldado-Lamela-Chadli-Eriksen



or...



Arsenal
Giroud-Podolski-Arteta-Flamini

Tottenham
Soldado-Lamela-Paulinho-Dembele

Pengiun. I suspect it is because the media hate Arsenal in all seriousness though if you are saying Lamela needs time to settle in then the same has to be said of Ozil

Yes, Ozil will need settling in time, but he is on another level to Lamela so Ozil's 'settling in' period will be world class anyway

He may be an absolute flop, he may end up better than Fabregas, you never know.

Lamela may be the next Bale, or the next Dos Santos.
