That;s a bit worrying, so basically he was absolute shit 18 months ago and now he's not so shit. Bet they're fucking pissing themselves. No wonder this deal has moved quickly, they probably couldn't believe someone wanted to pay 8 mil.

I've spoken to my mate who watches La liga. He said Dawson is actually a better player. I asked how does he compare to Kaboul, he said "he doesn't"

Your mate watches la liga? Why the f' haven't you connected him with Baldini and Poch yet so he can help them find some good CB's to buy in Spain? Surely if he watches la liga he is qualified to be a Tottenham scout.

I trust his judgement, but obviously I'll make my own mind up when I see him in a Spurs shirt.

The only clown on this site is you, fucking tool

Well you're wrong there. Because Fazio is a member on this site. So if I can keep up with the current headcount, as far as you're concerned we have 2 clowns on SC. One of whom is also a tool.

I think Fazio is a good option just for his Arial dominance as there a number of clubs in the league that we have been vulnerable to in the air. He also seems quite a weapon from free kicks and corners..

Can we please stop the mud slinging?

If we sell Vlad for this clown I'll be pissed off.

This window is getting worse and worse, it has to be said.

Nothing has chnaged from a few weeks ago, I still think we'll finish 6th but I thought we'd be close to 5th and 4th. Now it looks like we're going to be at least 15 or so points behind.

Hmmmm

You spoke to one person- ONE PERSON- and you're calling Fazio a clown.

You're the clown, mate.

Sory @THFCSPURS19 - he's got you here.

It's the direct quotes from their manager, isn't it.
Who's actually reported it though? 1 "Journalist" on twitter? He's posting in spanish, nobody knows who he is or who he works for and everyone is taking it as gospel. Quite easy to buy followers and be fraudulant on twitter.

Why don't you go back to calling people out for neg reps or something. It's what you're good at

You're the one getting neg repped mate, not me :whistle:

Well I seem to remember Lovren wasn't held in that high regard when he left Lyon and Poch transformed him. Let's see what he can do with this fella.
More to the point, if Poch wants him, and his teams have been very good defensively, then we should all be happy. Seville are on tv about twice a year so cant imagine many people on here have a clue what they are talking about with him

Happy if he does indeed sign, I have faith in Pochettino. He's not quick but how many quick centre backs are there really? Mertesacker at Arsenal has showed that you don't need speed if you've got the brains.

This. Some of the best centre-halves of recent history did not necessarily have pace in common, but they were very intelligent. Hummels, Mertersacker (2014), Puyol (2010), Matterazi, Cannavaro (2006), Lucio, Roque Junior (2002), Desailly, Lebeouf (1998), all world cup winners. Pique/Puyol aside from the above (and maybe Desailly), none of these partnerships were renound for their blistering pace, more so for ability to read the danger and act early. I'd be delighted to have some smarts added to our backline (if indeed this guy does have some vision). Jan is sometimes too focused on getting the ball back up the pitch before he's even intercepted it (E.g: Chelsea last season) and IMO Kaboul reads the game as well as I read mandarin after 6 pints and a greasy kebab :whistle:

Whilst watching the Europa league final I thought we should go for him. Thought he was absolutely fantastic in that game.
Love how people are writing him off after never seeing him play. He's no Walker but he ain't particularly slow. He is extremely good in the air, something we lack, and seems to read the game well.
What CBs would win a foot race with say Sterling? If the team are doing their job that shouldn't be happening. Also it's why Lloris staying is such a massive thing. Everyone is far too obsessed with pace, didn't realise Mertesacker was fast, or more relevantly Lovren and Fonte.

True, that's true. Faking a press conference is hella difficult though. This has actually happened y'know. Granted, he didn't mention Spurs by name, but it's quite clear that the player is going and it's quite clear that he's going to us.
