Foyth is 1.87m and kim is 1.9m ... Almost every match foyth played for us, I thought he got bullied by opposition players
You don't get nicknamed The Monster for being a lightweight pussy. Unless they're being amusingly ironic, but having seen pics of the lad unfortunately that's not the case

Replacing Foyth with him makes sense, in my opinion. Probably would be about a wash in terms of spend.

Kim is really a big lad ... He reminds me of Per Mertesacker of Arsenal ... But Mertesacker was really slow player whereas surprisingly, Kim is much more faster and have enormous speed as well .... Normally, players with this size don't have much speed

Think the more apt comparison is a Harry Maguire but with better mobility. Similar stout/thick builds, Kim Min-Jae appears to look really comfortable with the ball and he has what appears to be an enormous dome.

Kim is 1/2 inch taller than Foyth. We've barely seen Foyth play but he didn't look weak to me - a bit rash sure, but although he's not a lump like Harry Maguire he didn't look like he got bullied to me.
This guy is 6ft3. Considering that Foyth looks short next to Son and Lamela, I’d be shocked if he was more than 5ft11, maybe 6ft.

Not sure what to think tbh. Foyth's biggest problem is his concentration levels. He makes mistakes, silly mistakes that have lead to goals conceded. It wouldn't matter if he was a big lump or not, it's these mistakes that have put him on the outgoing pile.

This guy looks like a mixed bag; there are mistakes in the highlight reels, so he's not the finished article. With that said he attacks the ball better than any player at Spurs aside from perhaps Dier in the Everton game.

Loan out Foyth to Leeds who will be losing Ben White back to brighton and bring this guy in. We'll then get to see how Foyth develops and we get to see if this guy can offer anything.

SORRRRTED

Thoughts on this Turkish reporter saying we're in talks for Kabak from Schalke?

Seems like overkill at the CB position unless the plan is to loan/sell Foyth, Vertonghen leaves and move Tanganga to the "shielding" RB role along with a more attacking RB option. Would still leave 6 CBs (counting Tanganga) on the roster when I highly doubt we will move to a 3 CB formation. Obviously could be the case that Kim Min-Jae and/or this guy is just total BS.

That's the second Schalke player we've been linked with in 24 hours after the midfielder Weston McKennie. Transfer rumours silly season is getting into full flow.

Don't know how much truth there is in any of it, but hopefully a good sign that we are having some discussions and weighing up options

If we really buy these two CBS, I think we will sell one of Dier or Sanchez ... Unless, the plan is to give Tanganga more game time as a RB and have dier, toby, sanchez , ozan and kim for the two cb spots ... Doesn't seem logical we are going for both of these two CB

Interesting part: We are not linked with any left footed CB or with any Left back ... So far for defense, we are strongly linked with KIM, OZAN, AARONS and Castagne ... All are right footed

I think if we bring him in it means either Dier or Sanchez is off - No way are we parting with Tanganga and Toby has not long signed a contract - It makes sense and Trix has told us José wants CBs. CBs options next season could be:

Toby - Dier - Kabak - Min Jae - Tanganga

Or swap Dier for Sanchez but I think one of them will go out on loan.

Jose has shown a lot of trust in Dier so far - I highly doubt he would be sanctioning to move him on at this stage

I think we're bringing in one CB. Tangana will be a floater between fullback & CB, Dier, Toby, Sanchez and one new one be it Kim, Kabak, Silva, etc.

it will be Dier as he’s yet to sign a new contract and his demands are ridiculous

We probably have a list of a few we'd like and will go for one of them. Kabak, Kim, and Zouma among a couple others probably
