Wow.

I've just seen a shitload of reported posts about stuff in this thread.

One would hope that a polite request for it to stop does the trick.

Let us talk about Rodon and his imminent transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.

To put back on topic :sorry: I have to say I agree with the posts saying that his physical presence will add something. I wonder if it is one-or-the-other with him and Skriniar (January) given Foyth/Vertonghen out and Toby moving into twilight years.

West Ham was the most interested other club for Rodon but are closing Dawson according to ExWHUemployee

I'm not convinced by our central defence options atm relative to the rest of our squad. I'm not saying they're bad players but if you look at our other positions, we have pretty elite options everywhere else on the pitch so I wouldn't be surprised if we're looking for one we hope to develop into an elite option (alongside Sanchez and Dier who will probably have the most stability they've ever had in a season to show they can develop into that option themselves) and also a ready made one in Skriniar.

Agree, could do with 2 new CB's.

Spurs mailbag: How soon will Bale start? Will Rodon sign? What next for Rose?

The Athletic's Tottenham Hotspur correspondent Charlie Eccleshare answers your questions about the club...
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Latest on Joe Rodon deal? Will it happen? And if it does, loan back for the season? Thanks. (Matthew S)
Rodon was another topic that piqued many of your interests, and our expectation at The Athletic is that a deal will be done. The clubs are a long way apart in their valuation but there is a belief that a deal can be agreed, with Rodon himself naturally very interested in stepping up to a club of Spurs’ standing.

Should the transfer be completed, it will be for a few million more than the £7 million that Spurs initially had in mind, with add-ons potentially thrown in to help bridge the gap in the two club’s valuations. Plus, as you suggest Matthew, a loan back for the season is also a possibility to help find a compromise. A loan would especially be worthwhile if Spurs were worried about another club gazumping the deal and so they wanted to get a deal done even if there wasn’t an immediate need for the player (especially as he won’t be eligible for the Europa League group stages).

Of their possible rivals, however, West Ham have been put off by Swansea’s asking price and it’s unclear if Leicester will make a move so soon after spending more than £30 million on another young centre-back, Wesley Fofana. Swansea meanwhile want to bring in an additional two centre-backs before selling Rodon, which is partly why any deal for the defender is expected to drag on this week towards Friday’s domestic transfer deadline.

With Dier being injured now hopefully we push this through

Eh. Dont care on this one either way. We need a CB for the now. We could worry about a few years from now another time. Rather save the money, add it to whatever money we have available for January and make do the next few months with Sanchez, Dier, Toby, Tanganga & Davies.

Well who says Rodon is for two years away? Not sure where that narrative has come from. If Dier is injured and Tanganga is hurt too then we have Toby and Sanchez (Davies is a plug in at best). We’ve historically done a way better job of finding Premier league ready talent from lower divisions than we have from Europe.
