LOL any idea who that is?
Onana
Yeah sounds far too sensible to be true
Diers def duels won? 5%?
Def actions at 16%?What a husk of a defender, such a passive retreater
Must be able to tempt them with a more favourable swap deal than that like we pay them £20M and they take Winks and Sanchez
Agree on the former but not the latter. Eze has shown huge potential for years, should have signed him from QPR
He's dreadful but that can't be true , must be a typo
You are talking totally out of your backside. Nobody is comparing Tosin is Maldini, that's just ridiculous hyperbole.It’s okay, this fanbase can convince themselves that Maguire + Tosin are the new Maldini & Baresi in double quick time
Stats are compared to all CBs in the Prem.Thats really not a fair comparison, mywould look World Class compared to DIRE
That’s why I’m saying they are legit
Ahh just seen this, makes sense although still lower down than I would have thought
It’s not a typo, it’s 5.2nd percentile amongst Prem CBs.
Basically he’s in the bottom 5.2% of CBs for duels won
We have to buy a couple of centrebacks as there’s none coming from the academy.
Look at Chelsea, their academy has produced Levi Colwill, Mark Guehi and Tomori all playing well but not at Chelsea. I wonder why we even bother to have an academy, hopefully ,under Ange, we might actually give chances to a few more.Could find some hidden gems.

Wonder if we go to Feyenoord for Hancko?
If we can get rid of Sanchez , Dier and Hjojberg then we are already better without even replacing them! 
England youth international Cirkin joined Sunderland from Spurs in the summer of 2021 for an undisclosed fee, but the Londoners inserted a clause into the deal that meant within a certain period of time they could bring the defender back for a set price.
The fee for that potential move is believed to be £6 million.
Spurs have the clause in place until the end of June in 2024.

fuck me
I would chuck my boots in the bin if that was me
Putting a large traffic cone on the pitch would probably have more successful duels.Wait, is Dier on 5.2% defensive duels won!?
My point is that he's only now looking like he'll realise that potential. Gil has a lot of potential, but we should bin him off because he hasn't realised it at 22? When, for the first time since he arrived at Spurs, he has a manager that actually encourages wing play, and is prepared to give a talented players the minutes he needs to develop properly?
I'm not saying he'll be World Class, but I think it's asinine to write off a young, talented player, just because he hasn't done it yet. Particularly when you consider that, up until now, he's had managers that would have overlooked him completely, as he wasn't suited to the way they wanted to play.
It really wouldn't surprise me if Ange likes him. He's energetic, hard working and skillful to boot. He has all of the attributes that Ange loves in a player. Hence why I think a season under Ange is necessary to at least see if he could become what we all hope he will.
I think he'll get game time, and I think he'll be given every opportunity to either show that he's developing well, or he's not.
At the moment he's being judged on cameos.
