I think he once called himself a cunt
Golden seal of approval that

I doubt we'll be buying 3 players from Brighton in one window
I still dont really understand the fuss about Baleba
No real feelings about Verbruggen, aside from Id like a HG keeper
Obviously its all BS
He walked off is not a very good excuse really. Think again.
The thing is though, that defenders tend to reach their peak later than the more advanced players because there's so much to learn about the art of defending.
Jus being a physical specimen doesn't translate to being able to defend in a team, against top quality opposition every week.
He wants to be playing and learning every week so if we can't offer him that, and the signs are that RDZ doesn't feel that we can, then loaning him is the best option.
And yes, while maybe he will get his head turned by the mainly German media and their propaganda but he's currently on a long contract and has been so since he was 16 iirc.
The lad used to wear Spurs shinpads during his first loan.
The most important thing that we can do is give him the opportunity to fulfill his potential, now worry about things that may never happen.

tldr: Thinks we need more of a passer, thats not Scott, who is more like what we already have
A transfer depending on price, truly groundbreaking stuff
Himothy was the guy who called that Bergvall was injured before anyone else picked up on it, right?
So he gets info from somewhere but not necessarily about transfers. Is that right?

Claimed to be Daniel Levy’s nephew or some shit
Pleat first scouted Son at Hamburg and wanted Spurs to buy him, but Son went to Leverkeusen instead.
Perhaps our scouts need to pay more attention to players playing well for Hamburg ?!
Scott aint the one, people want him cause he's a Spurs fan, Bergvall can be him in a couple of years.
Bet he ends up at Liverpool with Iraola
You're reaching a bit with the RCB list, especially adding Rowswell to it.
Cuti will most likely be off, along with Dragusin and Dorrington too. Phillips may stick around but Takai and Vusko will probably be loaned again.
Shock horror what I've been saying for months.
Hard to tell imo. Ive watched alot of RDZ analysis and tactical videos and whilst his cm's can pass and break lines there not really expansive passers.
His ideal CM is probably very similar to bentancur but just abit better all round. He will often pair up with a physical dm but who can also pass but as I said neither are expansive passers with huge passing ranges.
His CM's are crucial in baiting the press and then being able to use the cb's to help navigate the situation, draw in the opposition and then break free and play to forwards but typically even this is a crisp ball to feet rather than anything exotic.
Edit. And those attributes are held by both Scott who is very good in those tight situations and also baleba who is more a dm but can play.

zero chance we big that for a cb with 1 year left.
You guys need to unquit smoking or something. The twist on those knickers is obvs unbearable.
I watched Ecuador vs Guatemala last night, Ordonez played right back during the 2nd half.
Extremely noticeable. Real class, kept his line, passed and moved with clear quality. I'd love to see us get him in, especially if he offers depth at RB as well.
Been thinking similarly, the movement makes the passes a lot of the time, rather than some great vision
Busy players, good technical level, able to pass quickly, move, ride a challenge... I think they would do well under him
On which basis I could understand interest in Scott, but as Shady says - Bergvall (and Gray) can do that job too
I wonder how much of the "we need a deep passer" talk is a hangover from older set ups
Obviously if we can have someone in there who can really pick a pass, thats not bad thing at all - but those players always seem to come with a compromise dont they? (less defensive ability/mobility/something that needs compensating for)
EDIT: Its partly why I think Hackney could be preferred to Scott, slightly better balance
