I think one of the factors here is that OG has worked with him before and it sounds like he feels that he fits the work ethic, has the ability (in areas we are lacking) he wants for the squad. Yes the big problem is his injury record but so in the past was Clyne. I agree with Furgeson he was in retrospect a bad buy but this was also mitigated to an extent by his price. Also players such as Olise have had alot of short term injuries and he hasn't worked out too bad.

I think at the end of the day it will come down to what RS wants in terms of salary signing on fee and if he fits the attitude of club he joins. I think he has the ability and work ethic and if the rest of these are reasonable then he is certainly worth a punt

I have a Spurs friend who thinks he's rubbish, but who knows whose right?

OG wasn't at Hoffenheim?
