Piero Hincapie

[Nick-TopSpursMan]

A lot can happen in 6 months though. Bastoni could change his mind and stay on.

Conte could go and we no longer want to go down that avenue.

The problem we have is if we go back 4 too.

I'm not sure Hincapie can play CB in a back 4.

I wouldn't fancy having him and Romero as a partnership for example. Way too aggressive and Hincapie has terrible aerial stats.

Nope this is regarding this one

His tweet literally says a lad in Germany…. I mean it could be Hincapie but every news outlet as reported a price of around 40 million euros.

Seems like leverkusen are trying to sign a defender but he’s a left back sadly

 

[Trix]

POK saying we been quoted 80m for him…

Ignore that, we wouldn't be talking if that were the case.

From what I remember Hincapie often plays LB too so could be related.

Hasn't Hincapie been playing LB for them?

Well that’s what position hincapie mostly plays for them, so that would actually be a really good sign that there’s at least a 0.00001% chance still here.

Interesting…. How likely would you say with 10 hours left ?

I know there is a lot of shouts for a top level CB, which is completely correct, but you have to take into account, a strong offense helps the defense. That Is where the likes of Porro, a fit Deki, a fit Richarlison, all help us move the ball forward. So much of the pressure that leads to goals, often has to do with an inability by our attackers (including wing backs) cant hold on to the ball. Deki is highly underrated in this area. Especially when Son and Kane start as both have games where they easily lose second balls or get marked out of the game when the opponent floods our midfield.

In short: the less pressure our defense is under, the less likely they are to make mistakes.

I personally don’t see it but fingers crossed we get it done.

A million, billion, trillion%





















No idea I'm not sat in on the negotiation.

Can we get them to sign Sess?

 

[cider spurs]

As i said the other day, with 2 out of our 3 preferred CBs needing upgrading, i'd much prefer if we could get one this window if a suitable option becomes available.

It'd help with the bedding in process of pretty much what could be a whole new defence (Romero aside)

 

[Montalbano]

Hincapie walks into our first XI but what we really need is a CCB now. Lenglet and Davies should be enough to plug until end of season but Dier has been catastrophic

 

[Russ1201]

Trying

I favourite phrase trying....we tried.
It will be the same scenario as most Windows no more signings.
But thanks for passing on. I just feeling negative that we only signed 2 when we needed atleast 1 more.

If this is true it actually could mean Leverkusen are prepping to sell Hincapie.

Hincapie plays LB quite a lot for them, or LCB in a back 3.

so it’s not happening then…. I’m with POK on this one unfortunately

Toilet break, is it?

 

[SpartanSpur]

I'd have thought Sanchez or Japh would be of interest to them on a loan - dry or otherwise.

Not sure why such a seemingly well run club would want to lose a top player on deadline day though.

Hopefully Levy/Paratici can work some magic.

Hasn't Hincapie been playing LB for them?

Yes - 14 matches at CB and 8 at LB this season according to WhoScored
