Never seen him play but just watched the youtube vid and he looks very good. Seems to have it all. Of course, youtube doesn't tell us everything because it is a curated video of his best bits.

For the fee quoted it seems a no brainer it really does.

I'd prefer a higher profile LCB however this guy and then say Bremer as CB would on paper be excellent business.
Same! Never seen him play and can only go by his highlights - but tell you what, his reading and positioning seems to be excellent.

Dare I say it....almost Ledley-esque?

Look, whether we get this guy or not, what I'm loving is that we're finally scouting players like this - having real 2nd, 3rd, 4th options. This is how big teams become big!!

Agree, for so long the club never seemed to be in sync with the best talents around Europe and our signings seemed to always be random punts. It does seem this window and last that we are finally going after the right type of players and if we can’t get our first choices we have sensible alternatives rather than scrambling around last minute in desperation.

If it was Benero NDavis people would be going nuts


“Conte wants to drill out of Tottenham the mentality that there is a set starting XI. Big clubs don't think like that, they have squads full of players of equal abilities all pushing each other”

So what if Davies is as good or better? We don’t need just 11 players..

This lad looks like a very good and has massive scope for improvement under conte, and at the price been bandied about 19 to 25 million makes very good business if he’s here 3 or 4 years not gonna lose any money on him so win win . Fab buy him .

Yeah you can look through my recent posts, I’ve said the exact same thing so you’re preaching to the choir, I am just putting that out there for people who don’t think we already have a quality LCB and would get in Bastoni, Ndicka etc to keep Ben firmly glued to the bench.

Was just coming on to say about the ledley comparison. He very rarely goes to ground which is good to see in a defender
Esp when coming from another league as can lead to them being caught out a lot. Like Aurier used to as he always used to go to ground. If conte is on board with him then get it done.

I have not seen him play much - so not going to pretend I know him. I have watched him couple of occasions in their Europa League run.
In those games, he wasn't smooth but he did what he supposed to do - cleared his lines when needed, did the defensive side of the job and helped Kostic to attack.

His Stats - Has played 4 Bundesliga seasons. Aerial duels - best of all LCBs linked to us. Progressive passing - comparatively not so progressive . This may be down to how Frankfurt were set up.

If we go for him, I expect him to be more defensive minded. All for him, as an option.
