It's Talkshite

 

[WorthATry]

Got it in one!

Technically it was Bassong

 

[tommo84]

Any media on if he will be loaned back or not?
I'm surprised if not that Tanganga will not be loaded as 5 CB's is too many really. Good signing for sure but would've then made sense to loan out Tanganga if we think Roden is further developed at this point.

5 CBs isn’t too many - we’ve got 3 games a week from now as standard and in some games we may go with a back 3. One injury and suddenly 4 CBs wouldn’t seem enough.

5 is fine with the amount of games we have / current injuries at CB

January is only a couple of months away. We could have 5 CBs till then with little problem. Get them all to fight it out in training.

I'll wait for confirmation from AG

Tanganga's injury problems are a bit worrying, so this guy might end up featuring more than people think. Is CCV registered for the EL as HG if he doesn't end up leaving since Rodon will not be able to play group stage matches?

I think 2 from each position is plenty but to be fair if we stay in all the comps and have 3 games and week then you're right that we are one injury away from saying 4 isn't enough so yea good point.

Issue is more the size of the squad we can register so who drops out?

I'm no expert but i thought 25 players is max that can be registered and we have a lot of good players now:

1. Lloris
2. Hart
3. Gazzaniga

4.Doherty
5.Aurier

6.Sanchez
7.Dier
8.Toby
9.Tanganga
10.Roden* assuming he signs

11.Regullion
12.Davies

13.PEH
14.Sissoko

15.Ndombele
16. Winks
17.G.Fernandes

18.Lo Celso
19.Dele

20.Son
21.Bergwijn

22.Bale
23.Lucas
24.Lamela

25.Kane
26.Vinicus

So does G.Fernandes or Gazzaniga miss out?

Either way squad is looking incredible now, this is the kind of squad depth which can compete on multiple fronts.

Roden signing would be very astute indeed to complete the puzzle especially if Tanganga has some injury concerns.

Agreed and we have the players to play 3 at the back from time to time so 5 CBs is the minimum.

Tottenham agree late deal to sign Wales defender Joe Rodon from Swansea City

A graduate of Swansea’s academy, the centre-half had caught the eye of several Premier League clubs

Tottenham have agreed a late deal with Swansea for Joe Rodon and had a race against time to register the transfer.

The Wales centre-back was Jose Mourinho’s only target during the extension for domestic deals and discussions continued late into Deadline Day 2 for Rodon to join Spurs' squad ahead of the EFL transfer deadline.

Rodon’s club valued him at £18 million but talks on the final day of trading in 2020 were based around a compromise.

The 23-year-old is due to complete the formalities of the move including personal terms for him to move to the Premier League after two eye-catching seasons in the Championship.

Mourinho wanted a centre-back having already added Gareth Bale, Carlos Vinicius and Sergio Reguilón over the summer. Bale and Vinicius will support Harry Kane up front, while Reguilon adds competition at left-back.

Rodon’s arrival comes after the club lost Jan Vertonghen over the summer, with Mourinho using Eric Dier and Davinson Sánchez mainly this season. Toby Alderweireld’s only Premier League start was the defeat to Everton on the opening weekend of the campaign.

Spurs looked at South Korea international Kim Min-jae at Beijing Guoan, who were determined to keep the player in China and wanted their valuation paid in full immediately. The cost of landing Inter’s Milan Skriniar meant that deal was never likely to advance.

Rodon is seen as a player with huge potential having already broken into the Wales team on the back of his performances in the Championship. He will be one of three Wales internationals in Mourinho’s squad, along with Ben Davies and Bale.

On the eve of Deadline Day 2, Swansea boss Steve Cooper had insisted his club must get the best price for Rodon for him to invest in his squad. Joel Latibeaudiere is set to join them from Manchester City to give Cooper options at centre-back.

"If we do lose an asset then our supporters will want to see some re-investment and some good players coming in," Cooper said. "What I would say about Joe or any other of our assets - and Joe is right up there as one of our biggest ones - it's really important that if we do end up having to sell, then we get something to show for it."
