How tall is he? I saw some highlights of him versus CR7 and he seemed to handle the crosses rather well. I think height is a little overrated for defenders to be honest. Leap is more important. Loon at VDV hes 6,4 but pretty rubbish in the air.

6’4
Not sure how people think he is short
Edited @Bishop to reflect what the club have put on the press release
And your right about VDv… jumps like a brick
Luckily he moves like cat

Is this a Bergvall / Gray type signing straight in to the first team squad, or more of a Veliz / Yang level who’ll need a couple of loans?

Feel like that's a lack of aggression like Crouch.

Probably depends on a few things.
How he looks in pre -season.
Squad numbers, squad places.
CH numbers.
How he matches up against our other CHs.
TFs gut feeling.

When @tw12yid said "bit short at centre back" he was implying ironically that we have a lot of centre backs, not that Takai is short

I think we can now ask that same question of Phillips, Vuskovic and Takai but probably less so Dorrington.

I'm just not sure how you keep the first 3 happy in the same squad with 4 or 5 other senior centre halves in play.

It's definitely gonna be interesting sitting back and watching what evolves though. Nice problem to have right?
