Looks like he could be decent player. He's definitely more Verts than Daws, just looks 'comfortable' on the ball - although he's not the cultured beast that Jan is, at 23 though he's got time. Can't believe he's only 23, looks so much older, think it's his haircut!
Surprised me how short he looked compared to Dawson and Vertonghen, he's listed at 6'2" but he's a couple of inches shy of that. Had a good game, he'll need a run of games to get fully into the swing of things but I can't forsee that happening sadly.
FFS! :avblol:

he's "Vertonghen of Romania" looking alike (style of playing),but much younger than "original",Vlad have 23 years old ,making 24 years old (on 14 november this year),in this game vs.Aston Villa,he played chill,being first game of his in PL ,was more careful to not mistake badly,but i know that he could play much more than this ,simple passes,for Steaua ,last year (obviously,he played more offensive,yes,probable,low quality of many teams from here,allowed to him to attack more,and he liked to score),probable in a rightfull moment ,in a game he will advance much more and focus to score ,or to give an assist....

I'm going to be a bit negative here and say that if he'd had that performance against a genuinely threatening team we'd have struggled yesterday. 85% completion isn't bad, but when he did give it away it was in pretty bad situations.
Hopefully he'll be able to adjust his decision making to the pressuring game quickly.

LLB Part Deux
i'm sure that when he start to settle ,adjusting comfortable at the lifestyle in London ,and knowing much more his team mates (compatibility with them speaking) he will start to play more ,and more better...also,he don't know much well rival teams,being newcomer in the squad,after this season,when will see all the teams (rivals) from PL,in the next year ,other will be the situation for him,anyway like defender,in this moment,he must play careful ,simple passes,and maybe in Europa League games,will be more implicated in Tottenham actions during the game,advancing more in the opponent area...

as much as you always want to see the best players at their peak play in world cups, the looks on Blatter and Platini's faces if darling Ronaldo doesn't make it there would be priceless.
Not a bad draw for you.
Not to mention Bale. He would probably break down completely.
You lot are going to hate me but I don't think I like him already. He's one of those players that make me nervous when he has the ball. Reminds me of Bassong, lots of pace but that doesn't make you a good centre back. And let's not kid ourselves he was marking a lone striker of Kozak and he had a beast helping the defense out in Sandro!
Hope I'm wrong about him but I can't see him being great for us.
