This is quite scary, on FIFA, I got him as a free agent for Real Madrid... and then sold him to Tottenham for 6million

It's so left field it's most likely true

Exactly. It's not the "pick a striker out of a hat and say he's linked to spurs". Makes me wonder about AVB's "only 4 CB's on the roster" rule though as it would imply Caulker could be on the way out? Or we immediately loan him after purchase?

Never heard of him, but just read a few articles and it seemed Chelsea were interested in him earlier in the window.

Here's a few scouting reports....

And of course, the obligatory youtube montage...



Jesus. I know it's a youtube compilation but that's really impressive. Unbelievable tekkers with the half volley at 2:30 and then he scores an overhead kick at 2:43!!! Looks like he's got a real turn of pace and some good skills too.

If he doesn't work as a centre half, we should convert him into a striker :D

Like you said, it is a youtube video, but I agree, looks bloody skillful for a defender. Looks versatile too due to his ability on the ball and mobility off it. Could be an interesting option as a utility player, someone who can cover at CB & FB, as well as in midfield.

Wow. Looks very good on the ball-check
Has an eye for a pass-check
Has some pace-check
Long range shot-check
Scores with bicycle kick!-check

Whats not to like about this guy. For the money it seems a no brainer for me!;)

He's a CB..... ;)

So I'd like some checks about his tackling, positioning, ability to mark a man without falling asleep etc

Or it shows concerns over Kaboul's long-term fitness.

Well that is a downside with You Tube clips i guess. Still at 22 looks a prospect for the future. Im sure we would have looked at him. Actually surprised a team like Ajax or one of the German teams haven't picked him up. Looks right up their alley!

Looks and sounds like a right sided Vertonghen, which can't be a bad thing. Still think we need another left footed centre back, but maybe Fryers is being groomed for this? Hope not...

Shock to see his name linked.

Fryers still need time but not so bad tbh.

I dunno, never having heard of this guy before I'll automatically assume he's shit so if we were that concerned about kaboul would we not be looking at bringing someone with a slightly better profile? I dunno, maybe I've just become so accustomed to us being able to scout as well as a walnut and he'll be another BAE. A signing who goes onto become one of the best players in his position in the league.

Could be viewing him more like an insurance policy than a replacement.
