Even a broken clock is right twice a dayLamela to Spurs
the thing with a back 3 is that the L & R positions require more pace and mobility than the standard two CBs. They have more ground to cover when they split to beat the press, are often covering runners rather than marking, and are encouraged to move into midfield with the ball. Its why Jan is so fucking good there, but also why Dier probably isn't (bar the last bit). Certainly Wimmer doesn't fit the bill, neither does Keane.Anyone with half a brain cell knows that Keane would almost certainly be a Wimmer replacement, not a Dier replacement.
I hope we are looking at young centre backs if we plan on playing 3 at the back the majority of the time. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the injuries to Toby and Jan sometimes resulted in reverting to 4 at the back when it became clear that Poch doesn't fancy Big Kev.
He didn't break the news, the Belgium jorno, Kristof Terreur did the day before. If there is anything worth knowing about any Belgium player this guy is the only one worth following. He is currently making a mockery of the Inter links, just as he did in December when news was broken from a leaked contract site.

Here's something to be excited about if it's real. Patrik Schick is a very exciting up and coming talent. From Serie A, so a bit skeptical on how good he can be in the premier league, but from what I have seen, tall player who is surprisingly quick for how big he is.

Even more surprised that a website with that domain name isn't a Jermain Defoe fan page.I remember believing the crap on Caughtoffsides.com.

Did not see this before my postAlexis Sanchez it is.
Alexis Sanchez it is.
I'm having a hard time imagining anything funnier than Sanchez running down his contract and pulling a reverse Sol Campbell.Did not see this before my post
Since the club probably needs a backup CB to keep the 3 at the back system going, how about John Brooks?
