Yeah that would make Sissoko's role redundant and we can't have that for the GOAT.

Dele Alli could be leaving for the rest of the season only - but would we miss him?
Hojbjerg - NDombele
Winks - Sissoko
Bergwijn - Lo Celso - Son
Bale - Lamela - Moura
Kane
Vinicius
The talk around Christian Eriksen seems to be a loan until the end of the season (to replace Dele?) so for me, the question should be whether Bale, Lamela or Moura would offer more than himWinks - Sissoko
Bergwijn - Lo Celso - Son
Bale - Lamela - Moura
Kane
Vinicius
98 goal contributions in 201 games in one of, if not the toughest league the world is an amazing stat.
There's no telling what kind of Eriksen we would be getting back but imo it's less of a punt than the Bale one we took.
You could see how much Jose rated him in the documentary and he made some important contributions despite wanting away.
I could see this being a bit of a Levy deadline day move, no loan fee we just cover wages.
It would be nice if we start to see more of Hojberg and Ndombele deeper as Jose starts to trust the latter more. That frees up the number 10 spot where we only really have the crocked GLC. Eriksen could be a decent option there.

Sissoko is limited, we all know that, but he gives it away less than Eriksen did towards the end.
This game really always stands out for me as to how bad he got
How many times did Christian Eriksen give the ball away against Olympiacos? - The Spurs Web - Tottenham Hotspur Football News
Tottenham Hotspur took to the Champions League scene for the first time since the loss to Liverpool in the final yesterday evening when they faced...
Gave the ball away against Olympiacos TWENTY TWO times. That is appalling.
And it just kept happening. And what he did well dwindled down to nothing.
If he comes back, it'll be a disaster.
If he comes back and it doesn't, I'll ban myself from this forum as a forfeit.
But it's the lowest contribution per game of all the players listed.
He’s coming back isn’t he ? Has Hercules confirmed yet? Won’t believe it until he does
Especially when you consider he was managed hy AVB and Sherwood for atleast 30 of those games.
Sorry don't agree the first 2 seasons with spurs he's was magnificent!! But now he wouldn't get into the squad let alone the team
He was hit and miss at best in his early days.
Mostly because we were hideously coached. I'm not surprised.
Still had a hand in 22 goals in 2,595 minutes which is about 28 starts in a debut season littered with shit like Soldado, Paulinho and Tim Sherwood.
Yeah, guess we can't say for sure why, but his best days were after his early days and before his latter days.
He wasn't really bad early on, just went from hit to miss quite often.
I vaguely recall we had Siggurdson at the same time and they seemed quite similar.
I’ve seen him play a lot and like you, didn’t just concentrate on him, so whilst he didn’t have the ball, he maybe just just stand there. Just find that tough to believe.
The players listed are arguably three of the 10 best attacking players in the PL the last 10 years, so that is alright.
You know the stuff I quoted was for the entire league and not just for Spurs? There’s many things to be debated about the effectiveness of Eriksen, but there’s no doubt at all he was a productive player.
We can say for sure.
And I've said it plenty of times. Mousa Dembeles rise to being an important player.
Theres a reason plenty of players hadn't looked the same since his demise and subsequent sale
If we have Tanguy and Pierre at the base of midfield I think there will be more chances for our attacking players to prosper. Ndombele is still a bit of the level of Dembele, but he has aspect of the game that are better - forward passing, an eye for a defence-splitting pass and scoring goals.
I think Ndombele is a better overall footballer than Dembele and certainly alot more talented.
But he's far off showing the same consistency across a few years that Dembele had.
But with Dembele, alot of our defenders could get away from playing out of the back because they all knew if they passed to Dembele, he'd be able to beat a press and keep the ball. Vertonghen alluded to as much.
I don't think Ndombele has the same security because he's not over 6 ft and built like Dembele was for strength. He's more of a slippery eel in that he'll beat a press and get away from you through skill and not strength.
Thisd continuously open up space for Eriksen, Dele etc. Which they never got infront if Sissoko and Winks.
I don't think Eriksen would be back to his best infront of Ndombele and Hojbjerg.
What?
I didn't say he stood there. I said he racked up the majoroty oif his 10k by jogging around for 90 minutes.
Wheras other players rack there's up by properly sprinting to chase balls, tackles etc and then THEY stop, he just trots around, slowly and casually and then people rave about his distance stats.
I really can't explain it any more simplistically if I tried.
