Clearly?

Lloris
Vertonghen
Adebayor
Adam Johnson
Johnson can cover either wing which is what we really need as a back-up for Lennon and Bale. We need another striker to cover for Adebayor ideally, though.
you know what.....alot of people keep talking about vertonghen but i swear that most of them havent seen enough to make a detailed and inform view of the guy
i think its just whispers that keep growing as to how good he is.
we heard the same about so many people that come from dutch football about how they would be the next great thing. i think there is a very good chance that this guy might turn out to be average or even take ages to adjust to the premiership
maybe if i said he's fudging crap someone would be kind of enough to educate me on this guys quailities
cause fact is that against united he was PANTS!!!
The amount of people that want us to spunk 30m on a winger when we already have Lennon and Bale is ridiculous. We need at least 2 new strikers in the summer and they're gonna be hard to come by. Also everyone seems to be accepting of Vertonghen without even seeing him play. I can imagine the board collectively agreeing on a Richard Dunne transfer. So what is it about Vertonghen?
What was it about Modric? What was it about Berbatov? What was it about Sandro?
I've seen Vertonghen a couple of times, both times he's looked good. You read things, you hear things, he wins Eredivisie player of the season, he's linked with other big clubs, he's a regular for his national side, it's not a stretch to think he'd be a good signing even if you haven't actually watched him yourself. But whatever, buy Richard Dunne because you know he's "proven".
Wrong thread. sorry.

This signing reminds me of Sandro - basically not a Redknapp signing, but a Broomfield one. We've clearly been watching him for a long time (buttering Ajax up, knowing his contract is running down etc.). We obviously passed up on the likes of Samba and Cahill because this was the guy we really wanted. I also think Rafa has been instrumental in the decision-making and wooing. That all gives me a lot of confidence that he is a genuine King replacement.
In terms of style - I've heard from several knowledgeable sources that he's cultured, intelligent, quick and left-sided - basically the perfect spec for a partner for Kaboul or Dawson.
