Did GP manage him at the Swans?

Yes. Gave him his first team debut there and always used him when he was available, as Swansea only had three central defenders in the squad.

Good ball playing defender, pretty consistent and good size though he needs to bulk up a little bit. Has the potential to turn into a top defender.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Decent player. Good attitude.

 

[Swansman]

A little sidenote made by AZ Gull when Rodon has been mentioned earlier:

How many NSC'ers saw the entirety of Joe's uncle's Albion career? - The Goldstone Wrap - CHRIS RODON’S BRIEF ALBION CAREER

Chris appeared for Albion's final 15 minutes of top-flight football (first time round) in 1983 (and yes, he is Joe's uncle).

Sounds useful. 24 so got a good few years in him

That’s promising, do you know if he’s left footed?

He is when he's facing backwards.

 

[Eric the meek]

I googled 'Is joe rodon left footed' and the answer I got back was:

'Though he is stronger with his right foot, he can also pass with his left, and that ability means he can play on either side in central defence.'

He's 1.93m, Potter knows him, he's two footed. Sing him up.

I don’t think there is anything in this. Naylor said we weren’t looking to replace Burn this window.

 

[Swansman]

He is right footed (which makes the potential deal a bit surprising) but usually played to the left of Mike vdH in Swansea.

 

[Guinness Boy]

He's a full Welsh international who was in their Euro squad. How are people asking who he is or if he's decent?

Yes, GP had him at Swansea but it was under Cooper that he earned the transfer to Spurs. Would be a pretty good fit, but I think it sends a "you're done" message to Clarke and Ostigard if we do take him.

Good player already and five years more potential than BDB.

 

[Stumpy Tim]

Seems unlikely in my opinion. We have a string of centre backs coming back in the summer, and we have Roberts, Veltman, Duffy, Dunk and Webster here right now.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

I don’t think there is anything in this. Naylor said we weren’t looking to replace Burn this window.

He played for Potter at Swansea so Potter MUST want to sign him. 2+2 = 22. That's the way the minds of people who make up transfer rumours work. Despite the fact that Potter has not signed any other former Swansea players.

 

[Swansman]

I don’t think there is anything in this. Naylor said we weren’t looking to replace Burn this window.

Which is by far the most likely outcome.

A couple of seasons at USG then we'll see him in 2024
