Tottenham boss Tim Sherwood reckons 21-year-old Tom Carroll, who has spent the season on loan at QPR, as the player that could have made a difference to Spurs' season. "I just think the blend's not fantastic," Sherwood told the Tottenham Journal as he discussed his side's midfield.
"Sandro and Etienne Capoue are similar, in stature and in the way they break up the game. Paulinho's a little bit different; he likes to break forward into the box.
"But we miss someone who moves that ball and passes it between the lines very quickly, and he assists the assister.
"I think Tom Carroll was that player - he can do that, absolutely. I tried to bring Tom back from QPR, it just wasn't possible."
