Great debut from Eric.

But let's see him lined up alongside Musacchio, with Verts to the left.
I'd still like to see him in a Spurs shirt but i'm not sure Vertonghen would be happy playing out on the left.

Villarreal own 35%, river 35% and his agent 30%. As far as I can tell, Villarreal are the only party who can accept a fee and the other two get the percentage of the fee, that they are entitled too. Is this right @Ossie85
That's right, although it's not so clear if the 30% is the agent or someone else. It's listed as owned by a company

Don't agree at all, koscielny is the fastest defender in the prem bar none and has matured into a real ball winner who's also good in the air and brilliant at blocks and interceptions, would suit our system down to the ground and I hope this new fella if he signs has all the same attributes.

Another howler again today. Big game player but poor in loads of the other games.

I really wouldn't want us spending £17m on him now. Dier and Vertonghen, with Dawson, Kaboul and Chiriches as backup. Plenty.

Can't agree with that after seeing Kaboul caught out time and again today, buddy. And Dawson is no quicker.

Too early on Dier. Was great today but is very young hasn't been really tested yet. Kaboul was average and made poor decisions. A fully focused Vertongan with the Argie would probably be first choice.

I can't believe after 1 good game people don't want to sign MM because of Dier. Also, only about 30 mins was at CB, the rest was at RB. One thing the West Ham game showed was that we need a new CB, Kaboul was shocking.

Really need some ITK on this. We were so poor at the back today. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, City ect would of torn us apart

lol i got dogs abuse for saying that earlier
Not sure why mate.

I'll be honest, never seen MM play live. All I can go by is reputation, price quoted, clips and opinions of others.

What I do know is that as like the majority of last season, we are a mess at the back. Clinging on to hope that Kaboul will return to his former self of 3 years ago, or that 20 year old Dier in a new league can play week in week out, or even playing Dawson won't help this.

We need a brand new cb to partner Jan, a top quality cb. From what I've read, heard and the small parts I've seen this guy fits the bill. With not long to go in the market I don't see too many other options popping up.

I fear for our defence and I don't want to see us get trounced again! Let's please get this done!

exactly, its not doom mongering its just being cautious when our defence hasn't really improved from season where we shipped 5 or 6 goals on more than one occasion
