I don't think he looks very good if you base it in viewing that YouTube video.
Lots of tricks but very little end product and poor decision making.

Yes, but if we'd got Willian, we wouldn't have got Erikson for one third of the Willian fee.

The player I most want now Isco is staying put.

That's a good thing, because usually the better they look on you tube the more crap they are when we sign them!
I can't say I've followed his career, but all I know is that he's got pace, skill and the ability to beat a man. Something we could very much do with.

I enjoy watching him . He's hugely exciting, rapid, good balance, full of tricks and holds the width very well. If we want to stretch the play with wingers he really is a perfect fit. Makes the pitch big, isolate the opposition full back and with the intelligence and movement of Kane, Alli, Son, Eriksen we can run riot. I mean we already do but the sheer individualism of Costa or that ilk of a player makes the difference in tight games and big games.

It's heartening to see us being linked with players of his calibre. Lemar, Isco etc. He's the sort of player that without seeing much of him, I expected Lamela to be. He was hailed as this mazy dribbler but can't say that beating his man is the thing that comes to mind when I think of Lamela. It's being a snidey (in a good way for us 
) bastard and injuries.
Dele has the skill to beat a man but not that searing pace that will make a defence shit themselves.
Glad we've moved on from Zaha, we have as a club in our stature and this summer we need to be smart but also kick on. I hope this sort of signing isn't left until the last minute

First few yards are in youre head re dele. Not lightning but will still get 20 plus goals and 10 plus assists for the next 10 years. Prob more tbh. Costa looks an exciting player, just seems like a bobby big balls attitude wise, not sure that works with us

Prefer we bought Lemar, younger, better end product and seems to have a better attitude.

Amazing player with a deadly left foot! A sort of RW player we need.
Then we don't have to play Eriksen out of position either.

Eriksen has thrived with that little extra room.

He has - i'm not saying that. Just that his position seems to be on the right.

In the 3-4-2-1 we don't really play with a central #10, and in the 4-2-3-1 the attacking 3 is so fluid, it's hard to tell who's playing where.

Lemar is younger and may have a better attitude, but Douglas Costa is on a whole different level

Maybe so, but I suspect that Lemar is more likely to buy into the Pochettino philosophy.
