Walking into the final with 3 goals conceded and 4 clean sheets is a sign of a solid defense for me.

This worries me a bit.
We missed out on Mussachio and we are now down to our 2nd choise .Who is a left footed (same as Verts), big ,slow player . Big injury history and 27 years old, and with a release clause for 8 million .
But then again I have never seen him play, and we have to trust Pochettino I guess

He's captain of a club that's been far more successful than us in recent years, so that's a good sign. As long as we don't play the wretched high line of last season, we don't necessarily need fast CBs. I've never seen him play, bar a bit of You Tube, so can't make any detailed comments. From the little I know, he seems to be worth the money, but hey, could be completely wrong.

I hope you are right
, we really deserve a steal or two in the transfermarket . We have been very unfortunate/bad in the last couple of seasons when it comes to buying players .

Welcome to the real world - that's the reality for any team without a sugar daddy, unwilling to bid over the odds and unable to offer CL and/or mind blowing wages
Says who? From what I read he is happy on either right or left CB. He is big - I grant you; which is exactly why I look forward to signing him; very few CBs succeed in the Premiership if they are not tall and strong and good in the air. Slow? He has played in the La Liga against he likes of Messi, Rossi, Benzema, etc. and was good enough to hold his place and get the captain's arm band. Looks like a leader and a tough SOB - exactly what we need.
Didn't he just have one serious injury? How many players of his age can say that they did not have one? 27 years? Perfect age - if he really excels we don't need to worry about a Real coming in to do a Bale. Release clause? Since when is a release clause a good assessment of a player's capabilities.
Really excited about this link....

Via Spurs55 on COYS:
Stats from the past 3 seasons on transfermarkt, which is pretty reliable
13/14 - 41 appearances, in the squad for 44 of 59 matches
12/13 - 33 appearances (no europe), in the squad for 37 of 46 matches
11/12 - 33 appearances (no europe), in the squad for 37 of 42 matches

Looks pretty steady to me. This is in all comps I think.

Could be our 10th choice for all we know. You can research and grade players as much as you want, but in the end it's still a gamble. From what I can remember, Mertesacker was a panic buy by Wenger late in the window, didn't work out too bad eventually.

The Sevilla fans on the forum i visited say that last season was his only good season. Before that he was apparently rather bad.

most central defenders get better with age. Id say his best years ahead of him. Thats me being positive anyway

He could get better but why take the chance. We need players that we are 90% certain will be good not getting players on the cheap

Because there are no other obvious CBs that look a better shot.
We are talking of upgrading Michael Dawson for 4 million... That's a worthwhile punt IMHO
Not really. They won the Europa League last year, which was obviously a great success, but they have otherwise been at a similar or lower level in La Liga over the past few years compared to us in the Premier League.

3 Europa League and 2 Copa del Rey wins in 8 years is pretty good.
