Many very tall centrebacks aren't particularly good in aeriel duels, it's more about positioning and timing than height.

Could it be due to his height noone goes up against him?

No, it's because he doesn't engage in aerial duels unless he absolutely have to. Instead he tries to use his strength to knock players off balance and then try to win the ball. That might work, but we've seen it many times with Romero and Sanchez, where they overestimate their own strength and get absolutely roasted. It's one of the main concerns I have about this fella, combined with that he appears to be slow to react. His head does not work as fast as his feet. Tapsoba looks way better in that respect.

John Lacy comes to mind.
Dave Watson and Roy McFarland were very good in the air and both were under 6ft.

His agent has done well to get a BBC article done about him

I was always doubtful about a centre half who went to university, need to be a bit of a thug to play in defence.

Wolfsburg have apparently raised his price by £10m. If so then us messing about might well have significantly cost us.

We're messing about?

£10m closer to just paying for Tapsoba

Or that is the reason why we were delaying it in the first place? you act as if we have already agreed a fee and then they have added an extra £10m, i would walk away, guy doesn't look all that good anyway.
