Davinson Sanchez

[eddiev14]

Would've liked De ligt too, just loaned straight back to them.
Vertongen reincarnated

Think he'll end up at Real Madrid. His reading of the game is absolutely unreal, and only 17.

 

[Bigjim6464]

So all the links for veltman earlier in the window were a smokescreen for this guy then in the end?

Great shout. No idea if that was the case or if in the course of scouting veltman we changed targets, but either way, the appearance may suggest a bit of under cover scouting.

And our links to Veltman feel like ages ago.

Overmars says not done; don't get excited yet

That quote was from quite a few hours ago now.

 

[Lilbaz]

I somehow doubt we will get confirmation tonight. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[thinktank]

we should break his leg at the medical, then he'll fail his Chelsea one!

 

[inclineyid]

Said it before. Those who remember Paul McGrath. He is very similar.

Knees like Ledley and loves a pint of Guinness or 20?

To slow our roll a little bit just in case Di Marzio is claiming Spurs have not officially received a response from Ajax for our latest bid.

http://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/davi...ok-definitivo-dellajax-allofferta-degli-spurs

Seems to imply their acceptance is likely and could come tomorrow.

(Note both an agreed fee and not a formally acceptesd bid can be true at once but I don't want us all to wake expecting an announcement first thing when that might not happen until later or the next day)

More click bait. Nothing suggests that an agreement hasn't been reached, just that our formal bid has not been formally accepted yet. We don't know when it was sent over but a non-response now means nothing. It's almost midnight in London. They will respond formally tomorrow morning.

Well, I'd say he has pretty similar attributes to Vertonghen, who can also play LB (although he doesn't really want to).

I believe Toby may have also been used at RB in his career. Dier too, obviously.

There seems to be a pattern of us going for these type of guys, and I think it's a sensible pattern.

Imagine a tough away game, and we have:

Sanchez Alder Dier Verts

As our back four. That's pretty dam impressive and feckin powerful!

Thats true! Toby plays rb for belgium

 

[Bobbins]

Hope we don't regret doing a double deal for Davinson and Klassen.

Klaassen wouldn't get anywhere near our first team.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

The main journo in Holland covering the story has confirmed we've reached an agreement. About €45m - €35m + €10m in bonuses:

Nice article here too

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

Despite all the positivity, which is great by the way, I won't pretend to know anything about this fella before we were linked. I literally never heard of him, and I play shit loads of Fifa, Football Manager and keep track of other leagues.

I'm excited because other people are, but I simply cannot be confident until he plays in Lilly White and he plays well.

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Oh, And Ajax lose again tonight against Rosenberg at Home ......

 

[Kaboul'sForehead]

For all of who are wondering this is why he did that ridiculous jig

And I say fair play to that if he can consistently score goals like that he can celebrate anyway he wants to

I like players who celebrate with their team. I hate the likes of Sturridge that cannot wait to dance on their own and don't instinctively run to their team mates.

All the more convinced Sanchez will be incredible for us.
