Think it was on Football Weekly on Monday that someone said we'd signed him in January and loaned him back.
Surely we'd have heard if that was true?

I made an effort to try and watch some Koln games when we were heavily linked in January. I have been impressed.So has anyone actually watched this kid?
Our defence needs sorting, and unless this kid in the second coming of Ledley King, I'm not sure that we're done with business at CB.
He actually puts his body on the line to defend, which I like and is quite rare these days, a defender that defends!So has anyone actually watched this kid?

Wait, why would a defender defend?He actually puts his body on the line to defend, which I like and is quite rare these days, a defender that defends!
Joint 5th best record this season. They've been very well organised and looked impressive this season. Wimmer has been a big part of that. Dedicated, hard working and most importantly, his best attribute is actually defending!! (Something that cannot be said for Verts, Walker, Rose)I made an effort to try and watch some Koln games when we were heavily linked in January. I have been impressed.
Koln defend really well so that may be one of the reasons he looked good. They have one of the best defensive records in the Bundesliga too I believe.
I think for the money being rumoured, he'd be an excellent signing. The sort of gamble we have built our recent success on.
Everyone was getting a lob on over chiriches before he signed. Hate to say it but I have little faith in our scouting/transfer policies so don't have much hope for this one being all that for spurs unfortunately
Wimmer has the physical attributes to be a good CB in the Premier League. Something Chiriches lacks.
He has 13 or 14 clean sheets this season, and knows how to organize a defence. Something Fazio, Vertonghen and Dier aren't capable of. Köln have only conceded 38 goals in 33 games (we had 47 by that time). Give this guy a chance, he isn't going to be next Chiriches.
You could say we're on to a Wimmer....A future back four of Wimmer, Dier, Rose and.... Walker? Might not be too bad at all!
FC Köln media spokesman Frederic Latz has confirmed Tottenham target Kevin Wimmer is leaving this summer.
Latz: "Kevin Wimmer will be sold. We can confirm, but for contractual reasons not say where he's going. The new club do not want that."
Would be nice to get our business done early.Spur's MO. Exciting news.
