We need to stop being afraid of selling our players. We have a model now that's identifying good talent, so getting rid of existing players to bring in new ones shouldn't worry us. Especially when said players are only bench options, ffs.

LOL.... Fabulously convincing counter-argument you're wielding!
50m PR stunt?
Yeh. OK bruv.......
proper bit of depth imo. i feel like bournemouth he was maybe trying a little too hard, trying to play the ball first time a little too much. hell improve a lot when he relaxes a little. hopefully he starts tonight
You are describing the same fear that caused us to miss out on Kvara and Kim Min Jae.
You are basically saying we aren’t signing him in case he’s a dud.
Richarlison is a different player that was signed to be ready now for 60m
These are the offers you get when clubs know you have to sell.
Do you just take the best offer or lose him for nothing in the summer ?
The simple fact is this:
Sanchez and Dier are still going to be our CB options at one point this season.
It’s fucking scandalous negligence.
Maybe Sanchez only as our 4th choice could be understandable but Dier as well???
For the 3rd maybe 4th summer in a row we have gone in needing x2 CBs and again only bought 1.
Conceding less would be massive.
I mean, picking only positive outcomes is only telling part of the story. There’s also countless examples of “raw” players that never amount to anything.
All day.
Same recency bias and lack of vision for the squad will see Sanchez surviving as our 3rd choice Cb.
Club is a joke.

That's a little under £8m. For that kind of money I'd rather lose him for free next season.
Avoiding a massive amount of other questions and counter debate.....
So long as it's in that order then, stop and think for a second......... Who the fuck cares???
....You're always harping on about PR. It's not that deep.
Im sorry you didn’t get everything you wanted. If you thought the club will fix all its roster issues in one window, that’s naive on your part.
probs spammers. they love our cast-offs
Depends on whether you want to see the club really push to win or if you are cool with the status quo of how they have always behaved.
That the manager knows a little more about how he wants to play his system than we do, perhaps?
Player who has been mostly solid to good for us in defensive systems over 3 years, fans and journalists decide by themselves that he's for some reason not a fit for a progressive team, people for some reason decide he only passes the ball backwards. He's a great squad option for midfield depth, we'll finish higher this season with him than without him, unless we have a good replacement lined up. If a legit £30m plus bid is made then fair enough, but there's probably 10 players I'd be actively trying to move on before Hojbjerg.
Well no I'm not actually, I just literally explained the context of my argument and you've just re-shaped it into something else.
I'm saying that it's a complete risk if we go into the season with 2 players who aren't firing, if Rich was banging in goals left right and centre then I think I'd be okay with it because we wouldn't need to rely on him so much and the pressure on him wouldn't be so great.
At the moment though we need someone to hit the ground running, how can you be so sure that will be the case with Orban?
Not every player we miss out on will be a cast iron hit.
This was sarcasm?
Surely every single Spurs fan went into this window thinking the CB situation was the bare minimum after conceding a stupid amount of goals last year.
There have been great signing s and the coach has made a great start.
But step back and look objectively at what the club has actually done and always done.
They sold Harry Kane this summer.
Let the Chavs over-pay for him and let us just reap 35% of the fee we're owed.
