Re: Vertonghen - thought u lot said he was good?
when the midfield make themselves available, I'm sure you'll see better.

Agree with that, not sure about 4-2-3-1 at times it looked like 5-0-5 today

I thought he was actually pretty decent today. Confident, didn't get done too many times, the whole team sucked and I don't think Jan deserves stand out criticism today.

The defence wasn't actually that bad. It was the lack of ball usage when we had it.

Still a bit vulnerable over the top. Metalgear out of interest why do you think they are so knackered - i.e. I am asking do you think this is specific to us and any worse than usual?

Well I do not seeing AVB playing Dawson anytime soon. Just bad timing with Kaboul's knee injury unfortunately otherwise I am sure we would look more solid.

I agree about Kaboul as he and Jan would be my choice of CB's, however i would rather see Caulker or Dawson start rather then Gallas.

Re: Jan Vertonghen official
I really hope Caulker can get enough 1st team time (cups/europe especially) to give him the chance to make the step up. Gallas is struggling particularly towards the end of games, so will be interesting to see if AVB is forced to make a change? If so then the fact Dawson was not even on the bench must say something about his prospects right now.

"But I never had an idol so I will receive it from my mother. She's always been there for me, in my career and in a personal way.
"My mother gives me this award on behalf of my family; my brother and my father. I want to thank my family, my girlfriend, Frank de Boer, the people at Ajax and the parents of my girlfriend."
Dutch legend De Boer took to Twitter to congratulate Vertonghen, stating on his official account: "That's why football is so beautiful. Jan Vertonghen is a top guy. Good luck in London."

Re: Jan Vertonghen official
just for the first three games this season, I believe its mostly because we weren't able to impose our football efficiently.
with more playing time I expect the new team will get much better.
its tough losing players like modric and vdv. you can make up for it with industry, but its a gaping hole to fill.

Premier League new boy Jan Vertonghen displayed his aerial prowess, winning 11 out of 12 battles when competing for headers to top the European stats. It’s an impressive feat, particularly as he came up against Grant Holt and Steve Morison in Norwich’s attack, both of whom carry a considerable aerial threat. It was not enough to give Spurs all three points against the Canaries but it’s an encouraging statistic for Tottenham fans.

Re: Jan Vertonghen official
He's only played 2 games in the prem. It will take him a while to adjust just like it would any other signing. You get exceptions like Hazard, Torres and Kompany who flourish straight and don't seem to take any time to bed in, but most players who come from another country initially don't set the world alight, Ramires at Chelsea is a good example. I'm confident he will be a quality player for us.
