We've been linked with Bristol City's Lloyd Kelly today as a potential long term Vertonghen replacement.
20 years old, 6'3, left footed, can slot in at left back too.
My solution is someone totally under the radar.
Lloyd Kelly.
Played for Bristol City last season. Bournemouth bought him but he hasn't played for them this season. Normally plays LB, but he played LCB for England U21s. I would use him as a LCB.



AFC Bournemouth
On 18 May 2019, Kelly signed for Premier League club AFC Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee, reported as £13 million, after eight years at Bristol City. He made his debut for Bournemouth in an EFL Cup tie against Burton Albion on 25 September 2019....

...and hasn't played since. Injured?
 
As someone pointed out the other day when scrutinising big games... We were the form team when going into the semi's vs Chavs & Utd + the LC final. Against Utd we were essentially at home too..... Gutting! ...We should have won it that year.




But we didn’t did we. It’s always should, could or would of won with Spurs. United are a winning machine, despite how average they have been in recent years. Spurs don’t have a winning mentality bone in our body. As per usual, Spurs failed when it truly mattered.

Yeh, we are absolute cunts..... The club really don't deserve such devout supporters as you.

Show 'em who's boss... Walk away. :tobyarm:
 
Form team? Huh? In the semis and final against Chavs on both occasions they were on the verge of winning the league man!
United fair enough, but as I said to Five it was still Manchester United in a Cup semi final and we were still Spurs who’d won fuck all in 20 odd years. The pressure was all on us. No matter who was managing United it was never going to easy.
We didn't do ourselves any favours in the semi final, the decision to play son at left back was fucking ridiculous which resulted in the penalty.
Again though when up against it we do fold up in big games as we have seen many times before.
Still we have so much to look forward to.,..

Yeah he got injured after signing for Bournemouth.

They had Charlie Daniels as LB, then Charlie got injured. Was looking like Kelly would get a chance to take his place. But Bournemouth also signed Rico as LB and they already had Ake as LCB.

I think the kid has potential. I would gamble on him now.
 
We got to the Champions League final. We nearly (and should have) won the league. Our best player Kane came from the academy. Our other star players, Alli cost 5m. Eriksen cost 13m.

Stop obsessing about signing star players. Games are much more fun to watch when we are the underdogs!

I know you're being rational but if I were rational I wouldn't follow Spurs. Transfer season is a lot of fun for me. It gives me hope.

Sweet beautiful false hope.

Before COVID I found it quite satisfying to see my friends who are Liverpool fans all bored; and not actually watching games because it was a given that they would win it.

And City fans, given up cause they could no longer win the league.

The fun is in the hunt! The emotions of winning and losing are all part of what makes football exciting.

Reminds me of the Tennis at Wimbledon. Was so popular as Britain chased a win for so many years. Henman, Roddick etc...and then finally Murray won! The next year, nobody was talking about Wimbledon and the fun of the chase had gone.

In summary, let's never win anything. Its more fun that way!
 
Bertrand only has a year left on his southampton contract. He could be a good option for left back to rotate with Davies. Admittedly I haven’t watched him for a while so don’t know how good he is nowadays. But he’s home grown and experienced. Linked here with Leicester as a Chilwell replacement.

I think he's shite, mate - rather give Sess a chance to develop
