For me I would like to see us look to bring in quality, potentially a young star (Sakho or Mancienne) or someone already proven (Richards, Mertesacker or Hangeland)
      Sakho would be the signing of the year without a doubt, but it's unlikely he'd want to move to Spurs and it's unfortunately just as unlikely we'd be willing or able to pony up the cash needed to bring him in. He's a game-changing back and only 19, but the only way he's moving is to a giant club for a large fee.

      Redknapp clearly believes Kyle Walker has great potential and I'm willing to let him develop. I think any CB that's brought in is going to be a relatively cheap, established guy who won't have a problem riding pine when Woodgate and Dawson are back at full strength. Better not to shake things up too much in the backfield.

      Sakho won't leave PSG anyway. Arsenal wanted him & he said he ain't leaving.
      Jan Vertonghen!
      Vertonghen is his name!
      Spurs will never ever-ever,!

      Too bad about sakho as he is the best young center half in the world imo. Big strong athletic good in the air, great leader and he is left footed. Oh well we can dream anyway.

      Back go reality i think we should just give dervite a run out. He is left footed as well. At 6'4 he is good in the air and is highly rated so give him a go. He onl needs to play a couple of games nyway until our others get back.

      A back four of

      BAE-Dervite-Ćorluka-Hutton/Naughton Is still prty good imo and can getthe job done.

      On a side note, if Dervite proves his worth in real life then they might actually make him worth while having in FM (football manager) ......... I'm sorry but there really isn't much else to do in the off season .......

      Harry said Daws is out for 4 weeks & the Prem starts in 4 weeks, so we're only talking about 1 or 2 games, & Woody might even be OK, we just don't know right now as the results of his surgery aren't back yet. Fingers crossed

      Harry says that we weren't looking for a CB solution but the King/Woodgate situation is nothing new. Woody went for his Op as soon as the season finished. It wasn't succesful so he's had to go back but we must've known that for ages. King too we knew would have difficulties, so it is only Dawson's injury that is anything new, so I don't see how it can change things too much

Corluka was impressive at CB last season when needed and again, if itz just for the first couple of games so be it.

      We would be wasting valubale money on a ne CB which could b put towards Huntelaar a far better proposition.
      I agree, if Dervite plays well tonight against Barcelona then he can cover while Dawson, Woody & King are out. If he doesn't then buy Distin or Bassong. As Spurs4life93 said we shouldn't waste money when the Huntelaar deal is still alive.

      I wonder if 'Arry will take anyone on a loan, possibly until January, to save funds so that we can still bring in a good forward, whilst solving our defensive problem as well.

      Edit: Or bring Sol Campbell back on a free transfer!!! Haha I joke.

      Hangeland is class imo,i'd steer well clear of distin and dunne tho. Could be worth a punt on steve taylor from the toon,we gotta replace woody and king sooner or later.I rate upson too.Looking forward to seeing dervitte against barca tonight,i've only ever seen brief clips of the guy.
