I can't see us spending 70 or 80 million on two defenders, one of which won't even startWhy?

I’m 73. I have no chance.As a gentleman in his mid-30s this communication by hieroglyphics is a challenge
For sure. Definitely the defensive blocks of opponents are gonna be a lot higher and more aggressive than 90% of opponents he faced with Celtic though. More pressure on the ball, less time to think for defenders. It’s where I feel Tapsoba’s calm under pressure would be a great asset, and a difference maker for me. Tbf though none of us know how Ange will set up, even if most of us have a broad idea. I’m 100% trusting all the moves we make because on the surface they make sense for an Ange team, van de Ven included.Great and very informative post mate
But just on the bolded part, Ange definitely has progressive carries out of defence as part of his philosophy as Carter-Vickers used to carry the ball and drive through the first line of defence constantly
If we're going to miss out on one of them, I'd rather we got Tapsoba nailed down. I'll be very surprised if we get both, and I think we'd certainly have to sell a few (from Dier, Sanchez, Rodon, Tanganga, maybe Davies)before the second one came in.We need both though dont we really?
I'm not sure this guy is experienced enough to come straight in and do a job in the PL. It is a big ask for him.
I know what you are saying though. With all the ones at the club bar Romero probably up for sale. Some need to go ASAP. Maybe being left behind of tour will help them focus the minds to fuck off!?!?
But also that we would sign oneThats the same as what the Dutch journalist said. He didn’t say a fee was agreed. And Romano said similar that he and Tapsoba were options.
I think I prefer Van de Ven we dont have a lot of pace in the back line and we would def get that with himI’ve become pessimistic and am going straight the the conclusion that we will end up with MvdV and Lenglet because Tapsoba was deemed too pricey.
Am i wrong to be worried by this one? He's young and only has a couple of seasons at this level.
