Our 6 new summer signings are all over 6ft. Will this have an impact on our style of play? Will it help us win physical battles in games? Will it improve our goals return from set plays?
Lloris 25 France 6,2" 38 Caps
Vertonghen 25 Belguim 6,2.5" 39 Caps 3 goals
Dembele 25 Belguim 6,1" 40 Caps 5 goals
Sigurdsson 22 Iceland 6,1" 9 Caps 1 goal
Dempsey 29 USA 6,1" 87 Caps 27 goals
Adebayor 28 Togo 6,3" 51 Caps 23 goals
If we assume that Dembele, Sigurdsson, Dempsey will replace Modric, VDV and Lennon, that is a massive improvement to the physical presence we'll have. Coupled with our two centre backs, Sandro and Adebayor (and perhaps Vertonghen at LB if Benny doesn’t pull his socks up) we could have 7 if not 8 players 6ft plus defending and attacking set plays. Perhaps our achilles heal from last season will be a major strength this season.
