Lenglet would be a better option for us imo

Cheaper and knows the club now
Liking this link not that I’ve ever heard of him or seen him play but it’s because we can use the Rafa van de vaart chant again
And part of the club’s worst defence for 50 years.
Both Tapsoba and Mickey in one summer is unlikely to me but that would be a MASSIVE upgrade going forward, that’s a group that can stay together for a whole cycle.
City - a group bang in their prime : stones, Dias, Akanji/ Ake (Laporte on the outs)
Woolwich wanderers- a group that will be great barring injury for at least 3-4 years: Saliba (injuries?), Gabriel, White, Kiwior, Tomiyasu (sicknote, likely getting replaced by Timbor)
LFC- a group exiting their prime just a bit too long in the tooth: Konate, Virgil(injury), Gomez(injury) Matip (ageing)
Romero, Tapsoba & Van de Ven is an awesome foundation to build upon. Can’t have good attacking football without building from the back in terms of style and acquiring the right personnel.
By the way we'd have to find something else to call him - hopefully we all agree there's only one VDV connected with this club, oh to have player like him right now... So we'd have to call this new chap something else.
EDIT: For those old enough to remember, I suggest we'd call him Mickey and use the old Toni Basil song whenver he did anything particularly good.
But cheap
And he knows the club ,I thought it was established on here that "knowing the Club" is the most important thing
Thing to consider with Van de Ven and Tapsoba:
Tapsoba, 24 years old with a 4 year contract = 28/29
Van de Ven 22 years old with a 4 year contract = 26/27
If we are back on the model of selling players, we would be getting more of Tapsoba's peak years, Van de Ven would be hitting his peak.

without a doubt they cant, they need to get 2 CB's in thats going to upgrade the team and squad
Get it done levy
Something about the way this has been reported just feels like we are being set up.
Who is everyone?
I don’t think so tbh…
Ange you are rocking my world! Wow.
Spurs really need to get both. No matter how expensive. Regardless, finally a bit of proper scouting!
Not sure we are at the stage yet that it's likely we get either.
Looks like a Dutch Dan Burn....Dan de Burn?
As a former defender, that sort of play makes me jizz my pants
I don’t see it as “selling” . It’s recognising when a player is about to exit his peak and taking advantage of his established reputation to get a great fee that you can reinvest at a higher level. Otherwise you are left writing off a lot of waste that you could have got something for. Also you need to freshen up the group from time-to-time. Familiarity breeds contempt.
Are Madrid, City and Chelsea also selling clubs? Because they have also raked in lots from letting players go over the past decade.
We haven’t “sold” anyone we didn’t want to since Bale. Poch was happy to let Walker go for example.
Thinking that you are Cosplaying a big club by not selling normally results in just having waste and deadwood cluttering your squad.
