Deserves a bump today. Played his part in the run in, stepping in when required and closing out the season without a drop in quality at the back .
He's been good most of the season when Dier plays in the middle and him on the right.Deserves a bump today. Played his part in the run in, stepping in when required and closing out the season without a drop in quality at the back .
Agreed. I think defensively Sanchez is perfect to play that RCB role. He's a really good defender when he can push up, be really aggressive, and play higher up the pitch. The issue with Dav is that his passing is poor. Romero and Davies are both expected to push into the attack and contribute through incisive passing and underlapping runs. That is where he struggles and it puts a lot more pressure on the midfielders and the other cbs to create. I seem to remember a few games (Soton maybe?) where it seemed like the opponents worked a targeted press to force the ball out to Dav/Emerson and we just kept coughing up possession.He's been good most of the season when Dier plays in the middle and him on the right.
Will be really interested to see what happens with him this Summer. I'd be happy to keep him but if we get a ~30mil offer, I think that would be hard to turn down.
Yeah him and Tanganga got pressed all game and we could barely get the ball out. Then they were at fault for the 2 goals Saints scored.Agreed.

That said, if we don't have big money offers I wouldn't be opposed to keeping him. I guess we'll see what Conte thinks of him (and similarly Tanganga).
I can attest to this. While other players scurried indoors after the lap of appreciation at the Burnley match Davinson was at the South Stand in the rain with his partner and their young son, signing everything thrust at him, including my phone case. I was very happy to shake his hand and thank him for his contribution to our season.Also just a lovely bloke and a top pro.
Ali Gold has said on Football London's Q&A that Monaco really like Davinson Sanchez and because of that it could mean Spurs could look at Benoit Badiashile as a LCB option
That'd be very good business for us. We'd need another CB that could cover Romero though. Bremer would be the dream there.
