chicken when you quoted me, the part you quoted was part of a longer sentence at the context was somewhat lost by your shortening.
if i re read what you shortened my thing to then it makes it seem like i am stupid.
i think AVB has some really tough decisions to make tbh.
thus if you take my last comment in full, then it surely voids your comment about making spurs simply a lab for footballers.
Don,
my views that we work around vertonghen as i personally think he's our best defender whilst kabs is out
================
On what basis?

don i have to agree with chicken on this.
vertonghen has shown nothing so far to suggest he is our best prem league defender.
hopefully in 5 games time he will be, once he has settled down.

he hasnt made mistakes which have cost us goals, but he hasnt filled me with confidence at all.
infact the whole back 4 have been shoddy so far.
bae and walker have been very poor
I'm not going to lie and say i know about the dutch league chicken but what i will say is we been linked to vertonghen since last summer, so over a year now. I paid attention to him when the rumours started gathering pace and in all the matches i saw ( international, dutch league and champions league) i felt he looked composed,strong and excellent on the ball. I also went on the ajax message boards when we signed him and they all confirmed exactly what i knew, that he was a brilliant defender and would be a success for us
I hope you're right Don, i hope you're right.
I will be and i said the same to chronic to
Don,
If you're wrong, do i have permission to call you an imbecile?
Yes and if you're wrong about AVB, i do the same?

With any luck vert will be given a chance at LB
-----
if he seems slow at cb then i am not sure about him at lb tbh.
as cover its fair enough though i guess
Maybe he can learn to run too
With any luck vert will be given a chance at LB
================
Again, on what basis? Is it the fact you have seen him play there twice for Belgium? He is nowhere near the level of LB that BAE is, even on an off day.
And Don, dont worry - if i'm wrong about AVB i will be posting an article about myself & asking the Admins to multi-board it.
Always happy to admit i'm wrong.
Don't start on me chicken it was a tongue on cheek comment knowing he's played there a few times.
Don't start on me chicken
===================
Que?
I dont think its too much to ask, on what basis you think we should play a new CB signing in his less familiar role of LB, over our already well established LB.
When all fit :
Kaboul +
X (who has to justify their place on form, AVB squad rotation etc) .
I'm sure Verty will settle in soon.
Don't want Caulker bench-warming too much either.
Roll on the Europa for some decent match time for all the squad.
