redmancr: Moyesy: redmancr: Cleverbeck.: redmancr: What makes him any better than Smalling and Jones who are his age and 2 years older (Smalling)?
Hes got a fancy name.
Hardly fancy. We got rid of the Pole with the too many Zs. I say let's concentrate on players with a pronounceable and spellable names. Imagine trying to get a chant with the name Papadopoulos in it haha.
To be fair, he looks a decent talent. Schalke rate him very highly. Was a little surprised to see him only on the bench for Greece's 1st game, but kept his place since.
A little naive maybe, but a strong powerful lad, decent on the ball. He'd make a good signing for a Premier League club. Spurs maybe, him and Caulker could make a very good long term partnership. With Walker RB...
Why Spurs, aren't they signing Vertonghen? Arsenal would be a better choice, much different than their usual ladies at the back. I know he's a talented kid, but unless Jones is converted to CM/RB we don't need him.
Yeah, probably agree that we dont need him. WIth Jones, Evans and Smalling were looking OK for the long term, obviously with Rio and Vida in the short term.
My 1st instinct was Spurs. With or without Vertongen i still think he would be a good signing for them. Papa****, Caulker, Vertonghen and Dawson, think that would give them a few good options there. Also with Vertonghen's ability to cover at LB, and my doubts in Kaboul's ability.
But yes, cant argue with your Arsenal alternative either. Vermaelen, Koscielny and Mertesacker being their only real options. With the later a liability i feel.
