Hi Ed - the article seems a bit light; one personal view and only touches on a few players.

I can definitely see a point regarding Lamela and Soldado and suitability to the Prem. Not saying that this is definitely true, and I often think this is a bit of arrogance from us English fans, but I can see a good argument there. But why are they ill suited? The article provides no insight or evidence. Why ill suited to the Prem as opposed to ill suited to Spurs?

Then there are players like Paulinho, who started really well and then got worse and worse. What insight does that offer to the goings on?

Finally we have Dembele. Hard to argue that he is not suited to the Prem when he did so well for Fulham, so it feels more like us than him or the league.

Not trying to crap on the article; I appreciate people who take the time and effort to create content. It was a solid start, but it would be great to see it researched further and expanded.

{Ed001's Note - it was meant to be just the start of one, but time has meant it just didn't get any further. Sorry mate. It will be revisited as it was meant to be about why Kane has developed so well in comparison as well. Just things have been a little hectic over the last few days.}

Ah perfect - really look forward to the continuation, and interesting to hear your insight on Kane; we seem to take promising players and ruin them so interesting to see why Kane has gone the other way!

So it looks like the Vlad Chiriches and Adebeyor deals are finalised

With Soldado also due to go its time we started signing some players,

We are very weak in my eyes at the moment in 3 key areas

Central Midfield - I see Bentaleb as a starter and Mason to continue to develop but we need a solid central midfielder and James McCarthy is the ideal target for me

Winger - I hope we see erikson in the number 10 role behind kane as that is where he is best. That leaves Townshend, Chadli, Lamela, Pritchard as first choice wingers. For me only Chadli has warranted his place and Pritchard is untested at this level. we need a quality winger. Bolasie is too overpriced and cannot see it happening - were linked with lots but not sure who we will end up with - just hope its not mireilles as for me he isn't the answer.

Striker - I hope the berahino rumours are true but time will tell.

Eds - can you update where we are with Mccarthy and Berahino? And if there are any other signings likely.

We seem to get linked with everyone - apparently were in germany at the moment
