At least his name doesn't end in an 'o' or an 'I'!Oh good. Another addition to the squad.
How class was Naybet? I loved him from day one.Not exactly the Naybet type signing our inexperienced squad is crying out for.
meh, another inexperienced defender to go with the 8 we have already
The 22-year-old has enjoyed a breakthrough season at the German club, starting in 24 of their 25 Bundesliga matches, and he has impressed Tottenham with his composure, physicality and aerial ability.
vertonghen replacement?
Not exactly the Naybet type signing our inexperienced squad is crying out for.
In fairness Eddie Levy has done spending on mid to late twenties Carlos-Kick-A-Balls, and alleged Diamonds that fail to sparkle in a Spurs shirt. Soldado and the Golden Child are mistakes that Levy will never make again.
I think that's unfair on Dier. As I see it, he was bought as "one for the future" and it was only the disappointing performance of our first-choice CBs that's forced Poch to use him regularly in the first team so early.This is the right sort of defender to sign by the sound of it though. Poch's system won't work otherwise. I know people are saying that this Wimmer is a replacement for kaboul or Chiriches, but in first 11 terms, he might actually be a replacement for Dier.
