Does this mean Monk sees one of Ki/Shelvey as a defensive midfielder and Caroll as back up to the other CM spot? |  | | |

Josh McEachran Mark II? [Post edited 22 Aug 2014 12:50]

Let's hope not eh.
Loan signings were always the more likely, and he probably fits the profile of a neat and tidy midfielder who could fill in for the likes of Leon or Ki. |  |

He could do that for Spurs.
Hopefully this is not an alternative to Stambouli as that would be disappointing. |
Doesn't sound like a defensive midfielder. |  | | |

Don't know much about him, but not being 'rated' by QPR fans is surely a positive not a negative ;-) ? The only thing I have seen about him is one of those 'who will play for England in 2018 world cup' type articles, where his name was mentioned. A lot of Spurs fans up here assumed he'd be part of their plans this season, I do know that.
Monk said 2 or 3 - this is one of them, don't think it rules out Stambouli (although it does seem he is off to Fiorentina possibly) or similar. This is another option in midfield I imagine to Ki / Shelvey / Fulton etc. Given the way we play, another 'all round' type midfielder was definitely needed.
I still think we'll get a defensive midfielder (interesting that both Stambouli & Cork can also play right back) and a left back. | | | |

Maybe he is a second choice for the AM role? Or if gylfi gets injured move one of Ki/Shelvey to AM and have him as cm sub. That would mean emnes could be the 4th winger instead of AM 2nd choice. Means we would only need a 3rd choice striker, and a RB/LB (depending on what monk feels Tiendallis position would be)
Tbh I would've liked to see Sheehan because of the good pre season instead of a youngster from another PL club. Maybe it's with a view to buy? | | | |

Maybe he's learned from one of the best DM's, Scott Parker at Spurs. |  | | |

I agree that another Josh McEachran springs to mind
Not sure why we have signed him to be honest as I thought we wanted to sign players who were able to slot straight into the first team ???
I hope this is not a last minute move because all our potential targets have gone elsewhere so its just a matter of getting some bodies in to fill the squad
I hope I am proved wrong |  | | |

I don't understand the negativity towards this signing on here, I can only assume a lot of you haven't seen him play.
For what we need, some extra cover in midfield capable of playing in our passing system the guy is perfect. He's rated similarly to Jake Livermore before he got his move to Hull on loan, and if he can do something similar then it'll be a great signing. | |

Can't please some of you no matter what!!! He's a cracking little player who fits our style perfectly. He's probably not gonna be first choice, but to go and buy a midfielder who's better than Britton and Shelvey is gonna cost £7million+. He's impressed me every time I've seen him play and hopefully we've agreed a future fee. Give him a chance ffs | | | |

Nice to see as a group of fans us giving him a chance. I'm sure he'd be delighted when the players read this particular thread |  | | |

Damn. I agree.
Seems a Swansea type of player. Might turn out really well. | |

Exactly, I have watched him a number of timse in Europa League & has impressed me. Everyone is commenting & writing him off and they haven't even seen him play! Baffling to say the least. I think he will thrive with us, just a shame to me that it's not a permanent deal.
I think the last 2 signings will be Timothee Kolodziejczak & Madou Barrow. That's just my opinion though :) | | | |

Don't get me wrong that is my first impression having read the QPR report on him
I am looking for some good reports as we speak | | | |
| Tom Caroll signed on loan on 13:19 - Aug 22 with 2346 views | Rancid |
If there's one club who I wouldn't value an opinion from it's QPR.Maybe his 40 yard passes over the top weren't up to scratch.
As long as he can read a game and keep it simple then he'll be worth trying out.We don't expect much more from our DM's. | | | |

What negativity? were you expecting a huge swell of people rushing to the Liberty for the grand show off? |  |

I agree. I haven't seen him play so I'm not giving an opinion, will wait to see him play. Also hoping it's with a view to buy but it's whatever.
I think it will be those 2 aswell. | | | |

The QPR report as in their forum comments?
Hell, lucky you aren't a Napoli fan having just signed Chico or Michu, you'd be suicidal! | | | |

Well I wasn't expecting him to be written off as somebody who might be able to come on for ten minutes when we were winning games. | |

Im baffled how anyone who has seen the kid play can think its a bad signing, unless its the possibility that we may now miss out on Stambouli.
Carrolls a quality player, a lot of Spurs fans are disappointed he has not been given a chance to shine there.
I still think we will sign a DM anyway as Carroll is more of a CM |  | | |

Looks like he's cover for Leon at the moment, and relief for cup fixtures. He could probably do alright in the AM slot as well. Nothing negative about that. | |

Given that we currently have 2 first team central midfielders out injured, surely signing this huy on loan from a top 6 club is a no brainer? |  |

Agreed! Lots of Spurs fans thought he'd break into their team or thereabouts this year.
By the way - I also don't know anything about Stambouli and I'm sure that most on here don't either other than a you tube clip.
For those saying it's another Josh Mceachran - it's just as likely of course to be another Caulker. | | | |

QPR aren't Swansea. We all know how they like to play football. Their opinion is invalid!
Welcome to Swansea!!! :D [Post edited 22 Aug 2014 13:32]

He'll certainly be more comfortable in our style of play. | | | |
