Vertonghen on a free?

He was in poor form the whole season. Part of Spurs leaky defence before the stop, but improved recently since he's been out. So, not a good option. Looked slow and doesn't have the energy anymore to play LB. I don't think Spurs will offer him a new improved contract. He's 33 now. Too old.

His legs went very quickly. Can't explain it to be honest. Was still a very good player a year ago.

Imo he needs a move somewhere like Italy where technique is more important than physicality. His days in the prem are done.

Haven't actually seen much of Spurs the last few months, why was he dropped?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not sure to be honest, he might have had injury problems.

No he was absolutely awful for us this season. Can't move at all anymore.

He was excellent last season but has now regressed due to his age. Time for him to move to a slower league.

Was a top player in his pride though.

cheers mate

Any cover for robbo needs to be able to do the attacking side of the game at least half as well.

Ozan Kabak is a name I've seen a few times in last few days, Turkish, 20 and plays for Shalke, that all I know about him though

wasn't he keyser soze's number 2?

I would echo two things.

a) he was indeed a fine player in his day.

b) his day is gone as are his legs.

Theres zero point paying him a lot of money for sitting on our bench with no upside

If say we go to play the league cup and then you'd rest vvd. you'd be going with a guy who's seriously slow so that would be interesting.

theres nothing wrong with it for a year if VVD doesn't get injured but you would say the same about lovren either.
