Not a fan of munai , reckon he is one we regret if we do it.
Luiz I could live with after Bents injury tonight, but if we are negotiating with psg then go get Fabian Ruiz.
As for Ch, skrinnar was a Conte signing, will he work in an Ange system?

I wonder what the scouts saw in Dragusin really? He doesn't have the speed nor the passing ability to play in Angelos' system.
I am not saying he's a bad player at all but he not a good fit in Angelos' system. If Spurs could recoup the €25 million they bought him for (which I think they would), they could have used to money on Khusanov (who would cost more or less the same). Yes, Khusanov is young and relatively unproven (but he's got (1 & 1/2 season in Ligue 1 where he been one of the best CB), and he's fast, strong tackler, good in the air and a better passer than Dragusin.
Kinsky and Bervall were also unproven in the EPL before this season. And Gray was unproven at CB in the EPL.

They saw a beast in the air and a hard cunt, we don't have too many of them

All we need now is for Ange to continue this tactical shift, not for every game, but we all want him to learn from his mistakes

I agree that there is a good player there - but, as I pointed out before, he's not a good fit for Spurs the way they play now. True, this is only his first season in the EPL, so he should be given time of course.
But he lack the necessary passing abilities and speed for Angelos' style. I am sure he would do very well for a team the play lower than Spurs though.

Or a team with tactical flexibility like Ange did tonight, long may it continue

I think we wanted more aerial power as we suffered a bit at times last season against the Dyches and more robust sides. I think he’s quick enough for a big defender. It’s the passing that’s the real problem.

His passing is better than that of Dragusin and Khusanov is one of the top CB's when it comes to progressive passes.

City want him so it’s all moot .

Maybe he wasn't bought to be like for like for the system. Maybe they bought him to be different because his best games have been against City and Liverpool when we can't get the ball and dominate as much as we'd like.

Butyou don't recruit a player to play a handful of games a season. I reckon this was a Paratici signing that we made in a hurry last January because we were desperate for a body.

RKM can also play as a winger, which we desperately need. He is very versatile.

A graph comparing a few recently mentioned names against some of our Spurs players (also threw Rodri in for good measure). This looks at chance creativity vs how often possession is turned over (so top left is good):

Some players (Rodri, RKM, Douglas Luiz) are last season's stats because they haven't played enough minutes this season.
 
We need quality wide players. I'd go all out for lookman personally but we need productive wide men that can actually beat a player.

Interesting perspective.
I have been pretty pleased with him so far.
