I would rather have Fazio right now. I don't really understand the hate towards him. We need a bit of experience and he did form a good relationship with Verts.
Some people put too much emphasis on speed, like it's a game of FIFA.
As a follow up to your point about Fazio - it's interesting to note that he hasn't been playing for Argentina at the Copa America. In fact he's hasn't even made the Argentina squad. Is this the sort of player we want as a significant part of our central defence? He's 28 years-old and should be at the peak of his game. And maybe he is at the peak of his game - but is this good enough for a Club that has Champions League aspirations?
I wonder whether Fazio was brought to Spurs as part of some other 'unseen' deal involving his agents and another player. There's so much money involved these days that a player agent can make a ton of money on domino-effect transfers. For example, Fazio joins Spurs, Michael Dawson leaves Spurs, Sevilla has to replace Fazio, etc.
It would be interesting to know which sports agency represents Fazio - and the names of other players, coaches that are handled by that agency. Can anyone provide a link?
The recent ITK comments saying that we're interested in Alderweireld may indeed herald the impending departure of Federico Fazio.
Time will tell...
