The daily hotspur guy is not a bullshitter. He just posts rumours and news articles as and when they pop up. Rarely makes any claim of his own.Milenkovic 6ft5 Fiorentinas best defender left on the bench today.
But imo he’s just put 2 and 2 together and made 5.
alaba !!! go go zahavi
Trump will bite their hand off for that offer right now.Pay them in pence
depending on the price I'm definitely interested. Like you said, him and Rodon can now be groomed as the Sancez/Toby successors, and hopefully at least one of the two will step up as a starter.If there's any truth to that rumour Milenkovic seems the most likely.
I've watched a good bit of him lately and think he probably has the makings of a top PL centre back. It's always hard to know if a guy used to playing in a back three can transition seamlessly, but apparently he played in the middle of a back four a good bit over the past few years. Quick, strong, MASSIVE, above average goal threat, loves a yellow card/fouls more than you'd like(!!), can play RB though never seen him there, good on the ball with very good forward/line break passing.
On balance I'd be very happy for us to sign a player of his age and attributes. Also plays on the right, with us being well stocked with Dier/Rodon on the left.

If he's any good at 1v1 defending and passing, he should replace Toby.
For our style he is an issue cos we can't defend set pieces.Toby is not the CB we should be looking to replace.

You're doing Dier a big diservice there. He's not world class, or even close but he's a fairly dependable header of the ball. More so than Toby, who is just too short, and can't jump.There are is another starting CB that can't defend at all, set pieces, open play, practice drills, nothing. Just complete garbage player.

That Daily Hotspur rumours is interesting but probably fake and gay.
Don't hold your breath.
He's done that a few times, but Toby's done it a lot more, and often when he does get there he just gets dominated in the air by some fucking huge players.Being a good header of the ball means nothing when you are too dumb to read the flight of the ball and watch it go over your head to the wide open opponent that you left all alone in front of our net.
I don't think we have the resources to have Rondon, Milenkovic and another CB while still having Toby and Dier in the squad, player who signed recent bumper contracts.Between now and the summer I can see us going for 2 new centre backs. We’ve been linked with Milenkovic since circa October and now. He fits the bill in terms of contract running down, age, height, strength, pace, versatility, highly rated, all very good reasons to sign him but if we do then I would expect one more as AG and our other mouth pieces have all said JM wants a left sided centre back of which Milenkovic isn’t.
