Some version of 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1

We're going to have a few options of wingers/forwards in Suarez, Borini, Downing, Cole, Assaidi, Sterling now. Should be interesting to see how things work.

He'll be used then as a LW, he's not quite the scoring winger, he could spread the play up, take defenders and delivers great passes. I could see him and Suarez and Borini playing in the front three and working very well with Suarez and Borini switching places as the Uruguain loves to drop deep and go wide.

Liverpool will be exciting this year, will definetely try to catch some games. Any confirmation on the Sahin deal ??

We'll know tomorrow. Our managing director is in Madrid. I figure the Modric signing comes first, then Nuri leaves unless of course this is another smokescreen for a completely out of the blue signing.:D

Some interesting bits and pieces in here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/aug/17/andre-villas-boas-luka-modric-spurs

Main bits:

Villas-Boas said that Tottenham have "moved on" from M'Vila after seeing a £12m bid for him turned down by Rennes although he added that, as a more defensive midfielder, the France international was not the answer to the gap that Modric is set to leave. Bologna's Ramírez, he noted, is a more advanced midfielder, and the club have sufficient strength on the flanks and in the No10 position. Tottenham have had a €16m (£12.5m) offer rejected for the Uruguayan.

"M'Vila is an interesting player but I don't think he will join Tottenham. The player is a player of defensive characteristics. On the possible replacements for Luka, we are looking for a more creative player. I can't lie to you. We had initial interest in the player but we have moved on from that one and are now looking for a more creative player because we think that we have certain players already that offer us those defensive characteristics. With Ramírez, he is in a more advanced role and we are covered in that position."

It was curious to hear Villas-Boas talk about why Tottenham do not really need M'Vila or Ramírez. Why the bids, then? The likely explanation is that the chairman, Daniel Levy, was attracted by their youth, talent and potential sell-on value. They could be shrewd additions at the right price.
