What a player. What a player.
Me too mate. Furious.Would be so spurs to go the younger, cheaper and far more raw option, and then bring in Lenglet as well. I'm happy with this signing if it's in addition to tapsoba or another far more complete defender; but if he's the main CB signing then I'm going to be disappointed; it's not enough
Last summer? More like since Son.Our best signing last summer. With Vic, Maddison and (technically) Porro, that's a very high bar.
They would be now but they weren't last summer when he was just a kid playing in an average Bundesliga side, by all accounts he was even our second choice.We did so well to get him.
Alot of top teams would've been after him
Because this place only does negativity..How is this thread not on the front page?
Anazing performance today, bossed their big CF and still mopped up every stray ball.
Scary thing is he's still developing while he's putting in world class performances in his debut season. Although his pace is a cheat code, he's also an excellent all-round footballer, which just elevates his game to another level.Because this place only does negativity..
He was my MOTM. Absolute monster of a player.
So we have a world cup winner and the imperious VDV at the heart of our defence and we still keep conceding goals. Ok, yesterday was a worldie free kick, the other week it was counter attacks, next week it will be something else, the point is with the keeper and defenders we have, we should be shutting teams out more regularly, this has the added benefits of putting more pressure on our opponents and easing the pressure on our forwards. Only 6 teams have fewer clean sheets than us this season and IMHO the likes of Vic, Romero and VDV are the types of players who truly value a clean sheet. Woolwich have twice as many clean sheets as us, and they still score goals, do we think their defenders are twice as good as ours?
Carragher (paraphrasing) said Liverpool scouted him but weren't fully convinced.Immense. How the fuck did we get a clear run at signing him?
Arteta would be extremely happy to have our first-choice back line. He'd be looking elsewhere on the field to improve the whole setup of the team, which would also improve team defence. It would take him years to do it, just as it has at Arsenal.So we have a world cup winner and the imperious VDV at the heart of our defence and we still keep conceding goals.
