Jan the man

[offside_ruel_fox]

What a strike!

Let's hope he starts banging them in for us too!

Jan Vertonghen (Belgium) commits a foul on Gareth Bale resulting on a free kick for Wales

Spurs on Spurs crime.

Anyone that can push Kaboul a little further away from Freekicks is fine by me...

 

[chinaman]

He surely will score some goals for us, and I'm saying 5.

 

[whitelightwhiteheat]

I was there. Obviously I'm Welsh, so wasn't exactly thrilled to see it hit the back of the net. But secretly I was thinking "FUCKING HELL! Let's have a bit of that for Spurs!!!! Great strike"

Stunner.. Umm is it just me or would he look comfy in the midfield, in front of the back 4?

Left sided Centre Half is fine with me

 

[parklane1]

He is going to be a top player for us.

 

[DIEHARD]

BAE seems to have improved his free kicks. His practising is certainly paying off.

 

[teok]

Beautiful strike.

I think as with Dempsey we have bought versatility, he will be able to play in that midfield holding role as well as in defence. Seems very composed on the ball and happy to play his way out of defence rather than hit and hope. He could prove to be one of the best signings we made in that window

That will be great for away games but with Lennon instead of Dempsey.

Still yet to be totally convinced by Jan. He is still a little soft currently to be a central defender in the premier league. Looks very versatile, good on the ball, looks good when attacking.

but his primary job is where I think there room for big improvement. Remmber the mighty Kaboul in the early days?
Its early day for Jan.

PS Time to let Caulker have some games - in Europy league most probably.

He played there for Ajax I believe before Jol put him in the back line....or?

Pretty sure I saw stats the other day saying that Vertonghen is yet to lose an aerial duel, and has a ridiculously high ground duels percentage too. He doesn't look shaky. Nothing like Kaboul's first stint.
