I think townsend's fee is the 7th highest we've received - after bale, berbatov, modric, keane, carrick and bent.

Townsend's fee is joint 8th in our history interestingly, alongside Crouch to Stoke.
When you consider Carrick cost us £3m - Bale and Keane £7m - the rest £10-20m+.
You could say Bale aside Townsend is our most profitable bit of business (though his training wasn't free).
The boy's done well for us.

We bought Modric for £16.5 and sold him for £30-34 didn't we. He must be ahead of Townsend too.

#thfc Pochettino says he will promote Cameron Carter-Vickers rather than trying to sign CB cover this month.
"He is still young but he has enough quality & he is training with us from the beginning of the season and playing for the U21s.
"It's a good opportunity to stay with us now more consistently. I don't expect to cover Jan Vertonghen."

Interesting and encouraging. Its easier to integrate young attacking players, real bravery is taking a punt on a centre half or goalkeeper. It does rather confirm the fears that Veljkovic is off though. For what its worth I do really think CCV has excellent potential.
I hope this means he'll be in the team tomorrow. Would love to keep Toby fresh for Tuesday and this is a perfeft opportunity to play CCV. Cup game against a side at the bottom of league 1. Great opportunity to fully rotate the squad and see what we have in other players. I'd really like to see CCV, Winks, and Onomah start tomorrow. And I'd love to see Harrison get some time off the bench.

Love this news, love that we are taking into consideration our bright academy players when looking at ways to fill gaps in our first team, it's exact opposite of what we did when we signed all those players with the bale money. Thou I would like to see ccv go out on loan to give him a fresh challenge to prepare him for the big step up next year.

agree I don't see how toby and wimmer playing against League 1 fodder is suppose to help form their partnership. At this stage in the season it's going too be what it is.
So might as well use this opportunity to give ccv his debut, rest toby and dier, and enjoy another one of our outstanding academy products take his first steps into out first team.

my only concern with ccv is against pace and players with sharp movement, I'm hoping it's something he can work on and improve in the same way kane did. I remember pleat saying the bulk of kane's training was sprint and agility based and I feel ccv would benefit from a similar regime. teams will also target him in the air given his height but he has the strength and leap to cope.

I think the fact that Wimmer is relatively inexperienced will mean we will almost certainly play Toby against Colchester. Wouldn't bother me if we didn't and played a whole academy/second string side, but I think it will be mix and match between young/squad/first team and that is probably sensible.

How tall is CCV ? Every time I've seen him it's concerned me a little. He's not exactly the cerebral, archetypal footballing CB, so if he's going to progress his physicality and dexterity is going to be vital and I'm not totally convinced he's big enough or nimble enough, are you ?

Apparently he is 1.86m or just over 6ft tall.

he's listed as being 6'1 but i'd be surprised if he was even 6ft. i'd say he's a decent footballing cb but more toby than jan. i would be concerned if he was isolated 1v1 against a quick player and that's the most glaring weakness I've seen, otherwise he's very solid in doing defender-type things.

CCV's dad was a pro basketball player. He is 6'5. Can CCV still grow to match his father's height?

possibly, but I doubt by much. here's ccv about six months ago:

i'd say he's 5'11+. he has a very similar build to ashley williams at swansea.

A statement Poch has made twice in recent weeks, once concerning academy strikers and now CCV. I guess we will find out how willing Poch is to back his comments up when he picks his side tomorrow. Anything other than resting Lloris, Alderweireld, Dier, Dembele, Eriksen and Kane is madness considering our match on Tuesday.
Who's the captain there? Looks about 10 years older than the rest!
