Player Watch Player Watch: Radu Dragusin

[wreckemspurs]

Let's sign up the dude that dribbled past him while we are still cooking

 

[purplemonkey]

I almost hate myself for making the comparison as he’s Eastern European…but I’m dreaming of a Vidic/Ferdinand style partnership with VdV. There, I said it. They look like they’d work so well together.

 

[Nayim60yards]

Imagine all three of Dragusin, Romero and VDV on the pitch together to close out a tough match. Lovely stuff.

 

[Wick3d]

Still a young man and bags of potential, fingers crossed he hits the ground running, but no shame if he doesn't. Luckily, we have good depth at CB now

It's funny, this topic came up a while ago and while a lot of us threw in John Terry/Wayne Bridge for a laugh, I don't think there's a partnership so natural and effective as Vidic and Ferdinand. They were fantastic.

 

[mil1lion]

We should mention no further than Alderweireld and Vertonghen as the benchmark goes. Fuck other teams partnerships.

 

[Trix]

Kin'ell some of you lot can't keep a level head regardless of whether it's positive or negative news can you. The melt downs at the first sign of any negative social media, to turning this guy into the second coming of Beckenbauer(RIP) before he's put the shirt on. He's still young and learning so lets see how he does before we elevate him to the point where we are disappointed if he doesn't have a 10 out of 10 performance.

Be excited by all means(I am) but at the same time don't wonder why everyone you know hates Spurs if you are spouting some of the stuff I'm reading in here to them.

Having been crying out for cover at CB since the summer, why are some of you trying to shoehorn all three of VDV, Cuti and Dragusin into the starting XI? The amount of sprinting our CBs do is a reason why they will be more susceptible to hamstring pulls than other CBs. I suspect we’ll see plenty more muscle injuries in that area under Ange so each will get plenty of starts, but when all 3 are fit, we’ll have the luxury of rotating one if they need a rest.

We’re still 1 CB short in my opinion (hence the Lloyd Kelly links).

Scenes on his debut when Dragonsteaks inadvertently trips over his unraveled man bun (whilst being the last man in defence) and admits in the post match interview that he’s modelled his game on Davinson Sanchez since he was 10!

Agreed. The goal would be to have 3/4 be able to make it through a season, europe, and cup fixtures while not losing much/any quality.

I look at City. If you check out their recent matches you'll see rotation of Stones, Akanji, Dias, and Ake. Each player has sat on the bench at least one time... yes they haven't been as good this season but they always seem to rotate when everyone is healthy.

 

[we_all_loved_freund]

No way Bayern bid so late, unless they had been assured he would pick them.

This aged so well.
I never doubted it for a second

 

[tubbygold]

I’m confused what do we call levy now

The Bald Jesus. He sacrificed his hair for our team.

Edit: actually scratch that - give him a wig and we can call him Khaleesi

 

[Col_M]

Gio too? Hamstrung FC

You sound surprised. He's played what, 3 games on the trot? That must be a record for him. I think him a Sessegnon have the hots for the masseuse.

[Danny1]

What a guy, honestly we have struck pure gold with Ange.

 

[tommyt]

Happy Ange, happy life!!

he was probably someone with the shooting skills of Darwin Nunez and Drags just said, Go one mate, have a free go on me.

 

[mil1lion]

Have to say though it's a bit weird not to see Munn mentioned in all of this.

 

[HildoSpur]

Have to say though it's a bit weird not to see Munn mentioned in all of this.

Not really as Munn is (or will be) our technical director and we now know that Paratici is the one directing the transfer negotiations.

 

[Guernman]

If Bayern were offering 50% more on wages, then this 21 year old has just given up millions of additional pounds over the length of this contract, along with guaranteed silverware including a decent shot at the champions league this season, all so that he can come to Spurs and join the Ange revolution.

Postecoglou is a very special manager, I just hope we can keep hold of him for years to come. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have finally found a long term manager like Wenger at Arsenal or Klopp at Liverpool. We are so lucky to have secured this man's services

Werner pushed for a move out of Chelsea and left plenty of money on the table to do so, Dragusin has shown similar integrity and priorities here. Both really good characters, and both already under the Ange spell. I'm buzzing
