If he does go, who will then be our best header of a ball in defence?

Must say I agree about his aerial dominance. I am not sold on the alderweireld/ vertonghen Central defensive partnership yet. Felt that Fazio and verts complemented each other nicely. Did we not go on a run of not losing last season when they were paired together?He's the best defensive header at the club
Would Stoke have terrorised us in the air if he was playing?
Then again, it could be asked, would we have been even more terrorised on the ground if he was playing?
Still, silver lining could be Berahino deal is closer

If thats true then Berahino should be on his way .We weren't desperate to sell him but if it helped get Berahino then we 100% would sell.

Yeah, i'd actually consider selling Verts and playing Toby and Faz...

We want to play a high line, most weeks we are going to play teams who we will have more possession against, and whose tactic will be to play it into the channels and hit us on the counter, and/or play it over the top as we press onto them.
Dawson was shown the door for being too immobile and slow
We purchase a player who is slower and doesnt know the league
Strange signing in first place,

He doesn't have to go if he doesn't want to!I'm kind of feeling sorry for him if he ends up there...
Was only yesterday he were helping Sevilla win the EL and now if it happens, he's playing for Pullis
Completely agree with this. Alderweireld has that slight aggressive edge/alertness that Vertonghen completely lacks.

i didnt see this against Stoke, plus Vertonghen and Alderweireld are not that quick

agree with this, i thought Verts and Fazio together were excellent and i still cant work out why Poch abandoned that partnership.

wouldnt it be funny if we sell Fazio to West Brom but dont end up signing Berahino
Have never understood why people on he rated Fazio so highly given how Dawson got slaughtered on here and them being so similar. I think we should take the money and run as Fazio isn't first choice and no point having a mediocre back-up who is at a peak age (28) sitting in the stands. Prefer to develop Dier in his proper position, and if that helps gets us Berahino, so much the better

I think its just a left foot. He has not put in a really good display in a long time. And he keeps letting players get in front of him and behind the RCB. ITs not an easy run to track but he is never anywhere near them.
The united game? the entire back line was fine?
There is no way Fazio is better than Jan, and as AdamB said, much prefer Dier given a run if we had to than Fazio brought out for a small run of games.
He was good in the air most day, but even him I remember losing a bunch of brick in the air late last season. The assumption for the money has to be he is a bit part in a SB deal.
