No I mean his replacment from this season when he has hardly played could be him next year. He will be pushing 33 then though so like you say not for much longer.

Older than Hibbert, mate.
I'd say Aaron Lennon is the maximum age we should be signing, late twenties.
Sorry, I understand now.

Lewis Holtby looks a natural successor to Pienaar and Osman, he'd be relatively cheap and seeing as he's been out on loan for the last 18 months you'd imagine he'd be available. He also comes with the added bonus of being young but having plenty of experience in the league.
Between him and Cleverley and patched up Pienaar and Osman combo we'd have the link player sorted that Martinez likes and we could then go for a dynamic winger for the opposite flank.

Any idea what style of play Holtby likes mate?

He's a hard working skilfull player with a good progressive passing range who can play in a number of midfield postions and likes to play on the front foot, like I said a good replacement for Pienaar an Osman.
Have you never seen him play?

Did I miss something?
He's a blue but likes Arsenals style of play.
Holtby has really struggled in the premier league with spurs and Fulham.

I'm not totally sure what this means, but I'm going to start throwing it into footie conversations from now on.
Cheers mate

He did well at Fulham but didnt get much of a lookin at Spurs because they were going for fast wingers on either flank and big powerful central players in midfield under AVB. I was surpised Pochettino let him go out on loan actually as he's the sort of player he favoured at Southampton, but really Spurs have been the death of many a promising career in the last 5-10 years so I wouldn't hold it against him.
I agree with you about spurs ruining players.
But from what I have seen of holtby I don't really rate

I think we missed a trick with Kagawa to be honest. I think for next season we will go with Osman and Peinaar again as unless we sell we won't be able to afford such a player.
Although not like for like I think Deulufeu is a player that can unlock defences and would be a great addition.
