He was definitely not our best defender last season.

That may be correct, but he was our best overall defender over the past 10 years.

Love his confidence and the way he handles himself. Similar to King in the way he just gets on with his game quietly and oozes class. Can see him getting a few goals for us this season too from set pieces, something which our defenders don't contribute enough from.

Its true, I just wanted to point it out, Luckily like most fans we can appreciate both past and present players for what they are instead of comparing them.

Comparing them is pretty much the basis for a football forum.. 8-[

King cost us the 3 points against arsenal 2 season running, will always love him and he is up there with mabs as a club legend for me.

Vertonghen Loving Life at Tottenham
Jan Vertonghen says he is loving life at White Hart Lane but admits he will probably need a long holiday once the season is over, as he adapts to the intensity of the Premier League.
The Belgian defender has been impressive since moving from Ajax in the summer, and although Tottenham have made a slow start to life under Andre Villas-Boas, Vertonghen has no regrets about stepping up to the Premier League.
“I think at the end of the season I will need a good vacation! But no, I love it here," he said after helping Spurs beat QPR on Sunday.
"The atmosphere is amazing. There are the best players in the world and we have an amazing team so I am very happy I made this decision."
Tottenham had to come from behind, with Villas-Boas making a successful tactical switch after his players were booed off by their own fans at half-time again.
“It’s frustrating when you can’t play your own game so I understand the supporters. We want to dominate at home and away so the supporters expect that from us,” said Vertonghen.
After Spurs visit Carlisle in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday, they face a tough test away to Manchester United at the weekend.
Vertonghen is relishing it. “I played at Old Trafford with Ajax last year and it’s an amazing atmosphere. I am looking forward to my first game there with Tottenham and I think we are strong enough to do some good things there. Confidence is high now.”

Kaboul is our best defender.
Love Vertonghen though, was delighted when we signed him and happy that he is showing his obvious talent so quickly.

Terrific tackle =D>
On a much more negative note, very much less than impressed with Gallas there, Caulker's doing what's right and placing the ball where you'd expect Gallas to run on to, as opposed to a random clearance which would end up at a QPR player's feet but William's legs just aren't getting him to where he needs to be to function as a partnering CB after 60 minutes or so. Am a bit nervy about him at OT already to be honest, he is a big game player for sure and has tremendous quality but just isn't lasting and will continue to cause shaky moments like above and Verts won't be there everytime to save him.

Class again last night. I actually think he has performed better at LB than he has at CB.

Re: Jan Vertonghen official
Let's not forget we are strong at CB, and whilst BAE has always been good going forward he is a liability nonetheless and Verts is as good going forward as BAE if not more effective and is easily a better defender. When Kaboul is fit could he and Caulker be CBs with Verts LB?

I remember reading some quotes where Verts mentioned he preferred a central role. I don't think he'd take too well to playing as a LB for the rest of the season, despite the fact that he looked damn good there.
