What does Tony's algorithm have against quick defenders?

There seem to be a few whispers linking us with the Leeds centre-back, along with Spurs and Wolves.

Maybe we're trying to build a side entirely made up of Dutch players (he's Dutch-ish).

This will undoubtedly please those who want us to strengthen at the back. Unless he's shit of course - I really have no idea.

Can he play 6th choice right back though?

Leeds pushing for automatic promotion, why would they sell?

He might have a release clause.

He is definitely not slow. He's comfortably quicker than Dunk, Igor or Van Hecke.

I'm aware this is not very difficult.

Interesting. My Leeds supporting manager messaged back to say 'Not sure he is fast enough for the Premier League'

Can anyone think of a chant for him? Racking my brains here.

A slug would beat him for speed over 100 yards. Other than that I'm all in.

Nope, that's not it. There's got to be... something...?

Good player, would be happy with this.

Think too much is being made of the pace thing, he's not that fast but not especially slow either. The fact that Spurs are interested should reassure that pace isn't an issue for him with the way they defend and that he'd essentially be a back up/replacement for Van De Ven who might be the fastest player in the PL but is also more injury prone than Lallana.

 

[maffew]

Can we call him Turbo Pascal?

Hmmm, we'll C about that...

Mah. Meh. Mooo.

He is good, just like a bunch of our current defenders. But he isn't great, would cost a fair bit of money I guess?, and already in England so would want a good contract and probably become one of our better paid players.

I wouldn't be completely against it but don't think its a big upgrade. I'd rather see we went big on a GREAT defender or someone who will be GREAT in 1-2 years. This guy is good but I don't think he'll get much better.

Interesting though that we're once against looking for a ~25-year-old defender (chasing Boscagli in the summer). Its a sign that the club has great faith in its current academy defenders. But they're 16-17 years old and not realistically PL starters for another five years. Dunk isn't a starter in two. Perhaps we're looking for a player we want to keep around for fiveish years rather than one to be sold to Chelsea for £100m in two.

Is anyone interested at all, though ? A lot of this is lazy journalism before the 17.00 deadline.

Oh absolutely, could quite easily be total nonsense but if you didn’t play along with these reports, these threads would die off pretty quickly and football forums would have a bit less traction which wouldn’t do Bozza any good!
