Is Vuskovic up to first team level already? If so fair enough.

Regardless; you said we need to add depth at RCB.... We have depth at RCB... His name is Danso.

Regardless, who would we get as a replacement if we sold Romero? We already finished 17th and we’d be making our squad even worse/ cheaper.

I didn't advocate selling him to begin with, but as I already said; unless he's fit AND focused he's not the asset/contribution you're presenting him to be.

......But in your world you want him to stay....... And if he does we don't need more RCB depth(*)........ We have Danso.

(*I don't understand this tangent.)
 
But wouldn't such posts be more useful for discussion if they had more realistic numbers in them? Whatever clickbait / shock media might have to say, do you seriously think we'd get £80m+ for Son? If not then probably more useful to post a sensible number instead. 😉
I honestly don't know, except to say when the Suadi's are (supposedly) involved who knows? But I agree it would be highly unlikely, so forgive me for posting such tosh!
 
Pretty certain Frank's number 1 formation will be a 4231/433 mix. Three at the back will be saved for the big European nights mainly away games.
Fullbacks will provide the width, we will have 2 holding players and wingers tucked in as forwards largely playing at the width of the penalty box. I think the balance will be key in the frontline. You would ideally want a runner who gets in behind and latches onto things in the box (brennan is ideal here) and a creator on the other side with someone like eze or simons fitting the bill perfectly (eze moreso) then we have a number 10 infront of the 3 sitting cm's this would be maddison.
 
Waaay too much internet for you today mate......

Sonny might get a 100m payday for moving to Saudi IF he chooses to go, but we certainly won't.

He's 33 in a couple of weeks... If we get 40/50m we ought to be extremely pleased cos no other clubs in Europe will pay that kind of money for him at this late stage.

Couldn’t find any info on fee offered for Son other than claimed 50M from Korean press.


At 33 with declining skills, Son’s only worth a small fraction of 50M as a player - but his value is not just in his playing skills. He’s a god in Asia and the Saudis have more money than sense so maybe they will pay up for his marketability …

Levy won’t sell cheap and the Saudis desperately want TV deals for their league from anywhere in the world - and Son will help them sell broadcast rights for their league in Asia … can’t sportswash if no one is watching.

… and then we use the money to WIN nay DOMINATE the transfer window! It’s nice to dream …
 
Dragusin isn’t good enough with the ball at his feet for PL level. Danso is okay.
Dragusin struggled in a high line and in a team that suicidally insisted on playing out from the back at all times (which attracted an intense press). In the right system I think Dragusin (at 21) will become a very decent CB. Easily worthy of being 3rd choice RCB next season. We just need better back up for VdV on the left.

Romero / Danso / Dragusin / Gray
VdV / *** / Davies / Vuskovic

This is true, but Dragusin is probably the best aerial defender we have. Danso right behind him. We've struggled on set pieces.

We're not getting perfect players at Spurs. Especially as backups.

You'd have to trust Frank hid Dragusin's limited ball playing ability. There are many ways around it.

I think Son might need to be persuaded, but that he should go out on a high after lifting the Europa League. He can earn mega bucks there and if he stays then he will become a bit part player, and thus no longer captain.

Dragusin might be sold; but it doesn't change the fact that as stands we have 2 good RCBs on the books......... + a future gem to who we need blood so he can gain CT-status.

Son had a poor season but still had the most goal contributions of our entire squad. Selling him is acceptable only if a top class established player replaces him.

We lost a lot of experience last summer and replaced it with kids, we mustn’t do that again. It’s one of the major reasons we lost so many games. We need an Eze/Mbuemo to replace him not another Odobert.

If Frank is coming in we need to throw the bag at this guy.
