I guess my underlying point is that if peeps are so eager to see us 'go big' at CM, are calling for better FBs and still hanker for a quality ST to cover for Kane (not to mention the general game-wide fan-fetish for AMs that some share) something's got to give....
Meanwhile...
We have arguably the best collection of CBs in the league (and beyond).
Vetonghen
Alderwiereld
Sanchez
Foyth
Dier
If Toby doesn't renew, i think expecting anything more than a 'modest' replacement to occupy 4th berth is bordering on greedy.
I hear what you andReidy are saying.... In an ideal world, of course i want the best in every position (inc. bench).... But there's a balance dictated by internal and external factors.... i.e. Size of our budget, other more urgent requirements in other positions + competition for his signature (likely from richer and more glamorous options... As noted by
Also... "Better than VVD" = Price-tag will presumably reflect that.
Yes, I see your point as well. He (or any CB really) is not top priority in some sense, but I would not play totally down player like him. It reminds me a lot of Suarez situation - he was pulling the trees from ground in Netherlands, was really brilliant but many of the big boys still snubbed him. And Liverpool (who was smaller in statue during that era) could make a brilliant-brilliant piece of business regarding him.
And I agree that this here is rather theoretical discussion, as we would have to battle with very big boys on the market for his signature (though I have little doubt that we could outbid Juve for him with ease if we'd want to..)
I can imagine palace fans thinking "ohhh that's the kid that gave away those pens for them the week before...our strikers can finally bag a few goals" when the line up was announced.
You've been Foyth'd.

But... but... how can this be...?
he conceded two penalties 10 days ago... I thought the nation had already decided he was shit!

Shouldn't that be tres amigos?
Santiago Ascacibar, who currently plays for Stuttgart and was called up to the Argie NT looks very good to my eye. He and Foyth used to play for Estudiantes, so they go back. A cheeky bid for him wouldn't be a bad idea
Doesn’t that mean he hasn’t decided between Juan and Gabriel Mercado? The only doubt in the selection.
Now why isn't that a surprise! !! Doesn't sound too serious and he doesn't need his face to play football!
Is this national elevation too quick for him ? just wondering
I don't think Argentina has had anything resembling a sturdy defense lately.
I'm sure they can't wait to get a properly Poch-trained Spurs defender in there to help shore up the situation.
Hah, the guy is following older mentor's example very accurately aint he?
Gazzaniga needs to be wrapped in cotton wool.
Disfigure THAT face? God no!!!!!!!
