Though I wouldn't be averse to him staying on next season, it does feel like selling Aurier is more likely than selling KT and possibly replacing him with some caliber of young RB who could be groomed for that role long-term.

I'd hoped that we could sell both and sign a top-tier right back (Pereira, Atal, AWB, etc) and actually give that principle back-up role to KWP, but that feels pretty unlikely at this point. :(

Foyth is 6'2" or 6'3". Don't trust Wikipedia. He's the same height as Sanchez and Lloris when they stand together

This is from ESPN, also I didn't realise but Foyth is younger than Amos.

Foyth 1.78m 68kg
Amos 1.78m 69kg

Just for comparison I also looked up (all decent right backs)

Noussair Mazraoui 1.83m 63kg
Kyle Walker 1.78m 83kg
Achraf Hakimi 1.81m 69kg
Joshua Kimmich 1.81m 68kg
Aaron Wan-Bissaka 1.83m 73kg

You might have an argument on skill set etc but your supposition that height or weight have a bearing on how well suited an individual is to playing at RB maybe flawed
 
It's simple physics - if you are a tall and well built CB, you won't be mobile or agile enough to be a top level FB. Any decent defender can job anywhere along the backline, as verts and Davies demonstrate. But they are fundamentally specialist positions requiring different optimum body sizes

The skillset of DMs and FBs are pretty similar - it's about the most interchangeable position of the pitch. You need energy, tenancy, aggression, and to be able to play a decent ball.

Foyth is basically too big to get up and down the pitch for extended periods. He suits a more static position

Maldini, Alonso, Filipe Luís, Juanfran, Trent Alexander Arnold.... I could go on 4ever.
 
Maldini, Cafu, Carlos, zanetti, Cole, Neville, Thuram, Lizarazu (sp), Brehme, Lahm.

All quality full backs of recent times, do they have much in common? I’m not sure, I think if you’re a good player then you’re a good player, whether yo 6”5” or 5”5.

1.87 (6’2) according to Transfermarkt. I think anyone who has seen Foyth with his own eyes can see that that’s about right, and that he certainly isn’t 5’9.
 
Not really worth posting, but I'm bored so...

Who: Ali Z
Where: Coys

Just a small update, not all of the info is recent but posting what I know as out of the country for at least 3 weeks.

Poch wants a minimum of 4 in, 6 if Eriksen and Toby go. Names I know we really keen on are Ndombele who we have tried for before, Sessegnon and Wan Bissaka, my info first 2 looks doable. I don't know of any others we are keen on, don't mean we are not btw.

Toby likely to go this summer has no interest in the deal offered £165k including bonuses pw, may run down his deal. Erkisen will go to Spain if the price we want is agreed if he doesn't every chance a deal can be agreed. Trippier has plenty of suitors, don't be surprised if he is one of Ole's new guard.

We have a list of players we want out and a list that we will sell for the right price told to expect a decent net spend as Levy know this summer he has to deliver. That's all I got.

The problem is those stats get created when players first appear in academies at about 15 or 16, then never get updated as they grow

This is something people forget way too often when speaking about Foyth. He is insanely young for a centre back, and as he irons out those natural mistakes in his game (namely, being better at deciding when to play and when to just get rid of it) and grows into himself more, he is going to be a star. What an immense signing from Poch, Levy, and co. and could be a very big player for us for a long time.

Exactly. One thing that has impressed me is his defensive positioning for such a young player. He reads the game really well (most of the time - he does get caught on the rare occasion). If he can iron out his decision making when with the ball at his feet, he'll be a true star.
 
Can someone just call the club and ask them how fudging tall Juan Foyth is.

I think they are pretty free this week and not tied up with anything else going on.
