Should have got him before VDV tbh. He's no idiot, knows he'll ride the bench for us majority of this season barring injury to one of VDV, Romero or Udogie, already 25, probably sees himself going to Monaco to start regularly and play his way to a big move back to England in a starting role.

Concerned now, We cannot let Sanchez go to Forest unless we have a replacement lined up, under no circumstances do I want Tanganga or Dier 1 injury away from the first XI, would be a fucking nightmare.

People insisted such a scenario wasn't an issue as players will always back themselves.

Only 7 over 21 loans allowed this season. Rodon to Leeds leaves us with 6.
could be the Doherty syndrome again …A) .paying off someones contract.
Or B) bite the bullet and just shift some .

What's the difference between A & B?

Tosin is reported to want 'guarantees' that he is a starter and clearly Spurs will not give him that assurance. So his transfer depends on whether his mind can be changed.

It clearly would not have worked to sign him before VDV with documentation saying he would be a regular starter ...... and I'm firmly of the view VDV is a better CB.

"Guarantees" aside......

One can only respect his position... Now VDV has hit the ground running; it's perfectly clear that in a season without Europe his opportunitues will be limited.

- A player that doesn't want to be here.
- A player who's happy to be on the bench and just train for a fee.

In all honesty do we want either of those things?


Shame; cos he seems like an ideal player.
