I used to play passes with the outside of my right foot. It wasn't to be flash, it was just because my left foot was barely good enough for standing on. I see the same thing with Premier League players - Merson was one. You would think a professional would be at least competent with their weaker foot.
See ally cissoko who has no right foot

He runs quite well considering.

I'm not sure I could cope with a lazy bastard like Berbatov who occasionally does a pass with the outside of his foot to make everyone think he's brilliant. We might as well put a dummy up front.

What sort of dummy? Lord Charles or Charles N'Zogbia?
ha, ha    **clappy thing**

I don't think we necessarily need to buy a striker to directly compete with Benteke. A Julian Joachim/Marlon Harewood/Giles De Bilde type addition to the squad would be acceptable at this stage, and should be available for £5m or less. For example, someone like Frazer Campbell would add something different to the squad and probably offer more goals than either Gabby or Weimann.

We could give Robinson a try, though it might be a bit too early for him.  If Gil and Sinclair are going to play wide though, we probably need the type of striker who is comfortable dropping a bit deeper at times (ie. Robbie Keane).

Aston Villa and West Brom target unsettled Tottenham midfielder Etienne Capoue

Aston Villa and West Brom are interested in signing Etienne Capoue
They are considering a potential loan deal for the midfielder
26-year-old Capoue arrived at Spurs in 2013 for a reported £9m
But he has struggled to nail down regular first-team football
Capoue was left out of Spurs' last match-day squad 

By ROHAN BANERJEE

West Bromwich Albion and Aston Villa have made enquiries about signing Tottenham midfielder Etienne Capoue on loan. 
The 26-year-old France international has also been the subject of interest from Sevilla and Real Sociedad this week and is thought to be considering his options in a quest to secure more regular first-team football.
 
Capoue's omission from Spurs' last match-day squad against West Brom at The Hawthorns on Saturday will have no doubt compounded the player's frustrations.

How can we loan Capoue if we've got Cleverley and Sinclair already? I thought we could only have two loans from the Premier League.

Dislike, we can't have another loan so it's clearly made up bullshit.

No not like Weimann at all.  He's definitely not the type who can drop deep and link things up.

Would love us to get Capoue but it would mean either bye bye Cleverley, signing Cleverley, or signing Capoue on a permanent deal. None of which I can see happening.

Good player, but poor reporting.

He's with us on loan until the end of the season unless we, or somebody else decides that he is worth spending money on before the end of Monday.
