If we could sign him for £12Million, that could work out to be smart business. But foe 25, they can take a run and jump.

Round our parts he's called Winkiesta and for good reason.
Highly recommend you sign him.

Winkiesta? Because he drives a budget family hatchback?
I've got no issue with us signing Winks for any fee that is £15m or smaller. Anywhere near £20m or higher, no thank you.
I heard it was Captain Crab
Can’t believe people would call him that. Bloody blasphemy.
He's from my local team's academy. He's a very good passer, very athletic, but also prone to stupid mistakes. He probably wouldn't be good enough to start at this point but he does have a lot of potential.
Potential at CB is not exactly what we need right now but as long we sign someone dominant and experienced as well I won't mind.
It's good to see that part of the new assistant manager's remit is the defensive set up of the team.
My guess is that Ralph missed Vesty's passing this past year and (assuming this rumor is actually true) sees Richards as a defender that could bring that dynamic back while also being able to move faster than a drunk snail. The problem is that Richards isn't the best at the defending part of being a defender and was mostly hidden on the right side of a back 3 at his current club. I worry that being in a back 4 would expose him a bit.
We need someone that is ready and will improve the first team defensively from the off and have a positive influence on the mentality of the XI.

A defender who can't defend would fit in well here with our strikers that don't score.
Not that I've seen but I did tag the club into a retweet of the video so he's definately on their radar
I've not seen many 18 year olds with that directness and brute force together with great feet. Attractive combo.
Spoke to a Spurs mate about this who confirmed my thoughts. He's a nothing player, not awful at anything but not great at anything. Passes sideways and backwards too much, never seems to do a lot and most of the time you can't remember that he played. In my book definately not a replacement for JWP unless its money ball and we are looking to just replace the sideways/backwards passing and someone else will be doing the running/tackling/setpieces/goal scoring.
According to chatter on SulkWeb the Swedish midfielder who we have been linked to (Svannberg) is similar in that he doesn't excel in a particular area. But I expect he would be substantially cheaper and want substantially lower wages
