Shouldn't deter us from trying.That type of player is as rare as rocking horse shit nowadays though
If we always have a liability of a defence we'll either play defensive football to balance it or leak terrible goals. Or both.

This is promising
This is just what we need players who are able to win anything that goes into the box.
Agreed, but technical skills are also vital. Otherwise you can't execute the tactical plan either. Look a Sissoko, what good is Mourinho's vast tactical knowledge if he shits himself near the goal.As long as he doesn't run around as a headless chicken. We need smart players that can read a game. We have to many stupid ones (Lucas, Sanchez, Winks?, Dier?, Aurier, Sissoko, Lo Celso?). For me it's a really important aspect when buying players. It doesnt matter how good they are technically if they can't read the game and know where they should be.

Wonder what the raw numbers were. Skriniar is definitely one of the few gettable CBs and see Madrid going after him if Ramos leaves.![]()
Milan Skriniar, Kim Min-jae and chances of Spurs signing a defender this month
With just under two weeks left of the January transfer window Tottenham Hotspur fans are calling for a new defender but will they get one?www.football.london
Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.
Tottenham held talks with the Serie A club over the Slovakian international in the summer transfer window, but could not bridge a gap of more than £10million between the two side's valuations of the player.
He has been starting every single Serie A match since returning from isolation in October and his value will have only gone up, with two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. The player also shut down talk of a move during this window.
eriksen in and dele out![]()
The Tea Lady is now saying that we are are close to signing someone but we will lose a player as well!
