Wins have always gotta be worth a catch-up, no?
Seriously, people harp on about de Ligt but it's pointless going out and splashing £50,000,000 on him when we have Foyth. Not saying he is on the same level but he has a very high ceiling himself and he is ours!
Delighted for him getting his first goal for the club.
Had a terrific game all in all.

That was the first vid I watched of his following the links. I follow a few Argie journos and there was one excellent right up that used that game too, I think I posted it in here at the time.
I don't see how we have a £50m hole at CB, that's for sure....
At that kind of price (likely rising if he's continues to perform this year) we would need to be hell-bent on 3CBs and pretty much resign ourselves to waving goodby to Jan (as well as Toby) in the same window.... "A bird in the hand" as they say .... We are beautifully set to transition on from the Belgian lads whether they decide to leave or simply wind down here as vets.
I agree about your other point of loving these kinds of signings though... Many of us hanker for the BVB/Monaco/etc. kind of success with mining young players, but what often get's missed is that we have a slightly different tact where we're striving to keep X player rather than indulging more of a 'production line' mentality where they're as good as sold by the time they blossom.
As per the rumblings of discontent from Foyth's camp... It's obviously a very tough balancing act for both Poch (man management) & Levy (competitively pacifying, yet not oily, wages). Yet it's so gratifying when players like Foyth & Dav put faith in us and we prove them right and as we've learned previously, buying names 'off the peg' is no more a surefire hit anyway (coming with inevitable expensive busts).

makes a fair point above... I'm guilty of doubting our scouting protocol at times, but when you look at Dele, Dier, Foyth + Moura (of a different profile granted) they represent ridiculous value.Scouting + Academy + Proper Coaching > Oil money/national backing/royal backing.
On the whole this shit works for us, I dunno why so many crave an alternative...

I agree with people saying they could see him sliding into DM and I wander if Poch didn't also see him as a long term replacement for Dier should he choose I leave.
With a real lack of options in midfield perhaps letting Foyth continue even in the big games for a while and switching to a back 3 might be the best for his devolpment as well as our short term problems.
I love most of our players but for whatever injuries and fatigues they're just not in point. Would it be that bad to drop a , returning from injury, dier or wanyama with this option.
Meh anyway will do as another 3 points after what looked like a horribly cold night at selhurst.
I Do love that stadium I grew up messing about with a joint programme with Leyton Orient and Wimbledon and we regularly got free or cheap tickets to the home games. Have to admit I was a kinda two person team at the time when I was younger I bought a Wimbledon shirt with Ekoku" on the back him and Chris Perry night have been my favourite players. Bunny jones was a proper gentleman always talked to the people when he had time haha
Anyway hope everyone got home safe and managed in the cold

That's sounds brutally schizophrenic....
Looks happy and humble.... But I think he'll be a double-hard bastard when the cause arises.
(Think's back to his admirable handling of Andy Carrol's thuggy tactics and few other brave interceptions he's made.)
I agree.
Must be a bit surreal for him. Literally a month ago he wasn't getting any game time and suddenly he's being called up to the Argentina national team, starting in the Premier League and even scoring in the competition on just his 2nd start.
Definitely think he's got a nasty streak in him.
Aw, Fotyh doesn't have a blue tick on his Twitter yet.
This lad has a massive future. Mark my words. He was fantastic tonight. Second only to Sissoko imo. And if there was ever a career ending comment, second only to Sissoko is right up there
