Jan Vertonghen is a man who’s not only been around the footballing block.
He’s a man who has stopped on several occasions, leaned back against that block and looked a bit wistful.
We’ve a Belgian on our books whom upon a whim, can lapse into the role of a young woman in a 1980’s sanitary towel advert.
Anyway.

For me he is the main man for them. I find him one of the best strikers in the Premier League. He is very mobile, very direct, and he has a good head.
Super Jan was speaking about Shane Long, ladies and gentlemen.
I still believe that Long could do a job a Tottenham, in a similar way that Clint Dempsey did.
Oh dear, rather a lot of you had an irrational contempt of him too…
Hey ho…
