Danny Rose (late of this parish) was at one point, part of the best backline in the Premier League. With Kyle Walker at right-wing-back to counterbalance the defensive line, Spurs were not just effective defensively, but frequently unplayable when attacking as both players flew down their respective wings.
That said, one massive niggle was that absence of that final ball, neither men had the ability to consistently deliver after covering so much ground.
Timothy Castagne’s show reel here 👆 is cause for distinct optimism. The 24-year-old would make a cracker jack Spurs player.
A passing accuracy of 83% for wing-back. Should he be at Tottenham or at Barcelona?
Belgium seems to be churning out technically adept players like The Netherlands once did.
He’s Belgian. We are Spurs. What is not to like! Toby, Jan, Dembele and Nico Claesen (how quick was he?). If he was French I’d be worried.
Yeah that’s probably true but at a time when we’re supposedly short on cash flow I would have thought a free transfer would appeal.
Perhaps we’re not as hard up as is made out? I hope that’s the case.
He might have been free,but had no real sell on value so Levy would probably not have considered it.
Looks good from the showreel. A note of caution- his rating is less than a 7 on his stat page. These can be meaningless but it’s surprising nonetheless. Serge performs better in most stats, but I can’t imagine Castagne to be anything other than a big improvement on him.
My question: is he that much better than Meunier who we turned down a free transfer for?
Him or yousef atal please. Both would be perfect🌚
