Although Spurs have an abundance of players capable of playing in Morgan Schneiderlin's position on the pitch - Mousa Dembele, Paulinho, Etienne Capoue, Nabil Bentaleb - and indeed signed Benjamin Stambouli as an alternative to his fellow Frenchman this summer, there is no doubting that Schneiderlin would add so much to Spurs' squad. Southampton's midfield enforcer would command a guaranteed first team place at White Hart Lane every week and it would allow players like Paulinho and Nabil Bentaleb to potentially move on (as, frankly, both are underwhelming). Schneiderlin also offers something that Spurs' non-attacking players don't - goals. With a formation that involves playing a lone striker, Spurs rely very heavily on the likes of Emmanuel Adebayor for goals and only the likes of Christian Eriksen and, more recently, Nacer Chadli are regular goal threats from other areas of the pitch. Schneiderlin has scored three goals in four Premier League games from a holding midfield position this season and would offer Spurs another goal threat in addition to his obvious qualities in other areas.
