Problem in the summer was he had only eyes for Monaco despite us offering a bigger fee to Fulham and a decent wage........ but likely 3rd CB place.

We'd want him to positively want to come to Spurs to sign him - otherwise it won't work.

Tosin never seemed keen on Spurs and if he can't get games at Fulham I am sure if I'd want him even as 3rd choice.
I rather have Lloyd Kelly, though, who can play both LCB & LB, and he's on a free next summer. And he was keen on joining Spurs - something Tosin apparently wasn't.

Spurs were heavily linked with Lloyd Kelly when he was at Bristol City 4 years ago, but for whatever reason he went to Bournemouth - made sense as he's played over 100 games for them in both PL and Championship - but I suspect our prior link will stand us in good stead in terms of him being happy to come to us.
 
Vlahovic suddenly on fire - 4 goals and an assist in first 4 Juve Serie A games and 3 goals in 4 euro qualifier games for Serbia.

Not sure how badly Juve need the money but … someone we should take a serious look at - if Juve willing to sell.

Romero is probably not 6 foot either but he's much better in the air than vdv.

Btw, hope Ange has VDV on extra heading drills, cos he was losing headers against players who are a solid 5 inches shorter than him.

Wasn't there something about heading drills being cut back in football training in general because they can lead to brain injuries over time?

I think once Romero has shown him a few techniques of the dark arts such as showing him how to header the ball and simultaneously nut someone in the bollocks at the same time, he'll be even more top draw that he currently is

Wiki has him at 6'1" but he is not that good in the air.
We suffered in pre-season from far post crosses and this could potentially be our Achilles heel.

But none of those headers really hurt us.

Maybe aerial duals are something that analytics are identifying as being less valuable.

I Liverpool hardly cross high for headers bc analytics are bad. Other than corners and FKs of course.
