He’s got everything you want in a defender. He’s quick,aggressive,reads danger,puts his head in where it hurts,decent on the ball and a big threat at set pieces. Having Romero,VDV and him and we’d be in a great place when all fit.

He reminds me a bit of Bremer when he was at Torino, the one who won defender of the year.

Clearly levels above he's playing at. Just very dominant. Very impressed tonight.

whether we are in for him remains to be seen but he fits the profile we are looking for and he’d be cheaper than Todibo.

Absolutely. Seems to be a lot of talk about it so I am hoping he's definitely one we're heavily interested in.

Todibo is also apparently a freak athlete and ultra aggressive so it’s clear we have a profile of defender we want.

Dier has been a good servant of the club but he is now slow and passive, hence why he doesn’t play and Ange would rather play full backs at CB.

I've just got a good feeling about Dragusin. I think he's alot more realistic than Todibo.

Fingers crossed because we won't survive with the four amigos
 
Saw the second half and was impressed tbh. Has a real presence about him, looks proactive in both boxes. Someone who wants to go and actually attack the ball instead of just a token effort, Looks a real leader type. Only a small sample obviously but sometimes you can just tell straight away

Players with bad attitudes are a cancer in dressing rooms. I’m pretty sure Ange won’t go for someone who might mess with the harmony of his dressing room. And Dragusin is a better defender. We need guys who defend for their lives. Watch this guy and you’ll see what I mean. I’ve only seen Todibo a couple of times and he’s very mobile and good on the ball.

I tell you who that Dragusin reminds me of...bloody Nemanja Vidic. If we signed the kid and he turned out to be half the player Vidic was for the red shites, we'd have ourselves a beast of a CB.

That Vidic-Rio double act was so effective cause they complemented each other perfectly. Vidic was the pure defender, absolutely loved getting physical with opposing forwards. He was Baresi after Baresi. Whereas Rio was the more cultured one, who could use his feet, move into midfield...

We've already got our own Ferdies in Cuti & VdV, but we sure don't have a Vidic.

That Dragu kid plays for us last night at the Amex, we don't concede the first or third.
 
Watched Dragusin again tonight and he pretty much owned the Inter front line, scored a goal, kicked their keeper in the nuts (got a yellow) controlled his backline and very vocal. Also has good pace and strong on the tackle.

Cleared his lines well, very good all around game against one of the best sides in Serie A

No doubt would suit us, strengthen the rotation and be competition for the CB positions.

That bald cunt just needs to flash the cash.

My concern about him is his attitude problems (something he confessed about his time in Barca). Ndombele also had a fantastic season before he signed for Spurs - only to become "himself" again once his financial future was secured.

From what I read previously (and it maybe bullshit) his attitude problem was arrogance in that he believed he was the best. That is very different to Ndombele whose issue appears to be he hates playing football and working hard and doesn’t care if he lets everyone down.

That's fair

Honestly have no idea but Todibo moves like he could be amongst the very best CBs out there.

There was a time when a guy named Tanguy Ndombele also looked like the next big thing...heck he'd totally bossed Lyon's midfield vs Barca, City. Worth brushing all those red flags & reports about his attitude under the carpet...60 mil you say, Mr Aulas? No problem.

Obviously doesn't mean Todibo gonna follow in Fatty's footsteps, but I'd rather we don't take the risk, especially for the 40 odd mil Todibo is likely to cost.
