Seen a few links to this guy in the last few days.

DOn't know much about him, other than I do remember thinking he looked good when we played against Palace.

Apparently offering 50m for him.

Also interested in Jacabo Ramon.

I am a bit leery of French defenders now, as i think we would struggle to make one decent defender out of Gusto, Fofana, Disasi and Badiesh!te combined But i do actually quite like this guy. He looks dependable and solid from what i have seen of him and he is definitely built for our league now.

Yeah but Frank Lebouef, Marcel Desailly, William Gallas and er.....Bernard Lambourde.....

Looking at where we are with centre backs I think he would be a good solid option. Looks to be a big dominant winner of the ball. As long as Crystal Palace don't try and bend us over a barrel I would be happy with this. Some might say he was the better defender of the 2 in the partnership with Guehi.

Heard that Disasi could go the other way which would make it an even better deal.

Think he has a higher ceiling than Lacroix. Can’t remember any Spanish CB that has been awful, with the French we have a few in our team.

Hope we get both and Ramon replaces Tosin.

If we’re talking about who’s the better defender, its really no contest.

Stats and eye test.

Do you understand those graph things? I don't.

I understand enough to see someone rating centre backs for their striker stats is utter nonsense.

They can be very pretty, though, very abstract artsy.

Ah yes of course, because it's all striker stats, there is no "Clearances", "Blocks", "Ball Recoveries", "Tackles + Interceptions", "Aerials Won", on that graph, is there? 🙄

Surely Fofana's defensive duel % isn't 1.6% haha

I think charts like this is why we're in the situation we're in. Our dear sporting directors compiling stats sheets and comparing data without actually watching them play. I mean wheres the stat for how much of an absolute plonker they are? Or whether they regularly fall asleep at set pieces. Fofana would definitely be off the chart on some of them. Driving temperament is an important metric nowadays that's regularly missed.
