With Bentancur out that means starting with Sarr as our number 8 who's expected to attack the box and chip in with goals.

I think it's too early to rely on Sarr for that yet. No evidence he is ready.
If he isn't good enough to step in for few games he might aswell go on loan or we switch it up to maybe a 3 of

Maddison. Bissouma.
Skipp
Or maybe.

Maddison. Ndombele.
Bissouma
I think the only way our younger players are going to improve is if they get exposure and ample game time.

I don't expect much more incomings after we get a couple of centre backs but if PEH leaves and Skipp or Sarr go on loan I would imagine we bring someone in like Maxence Caqueret

I would be very surprised if Ange didn't see Kulusevski as one of his 8s.
 
It seems so strange to go so far to negotiate in such detail for both "apparently" knowing well we fully won't pull the trigger on one of them.

I'm sure it's the truth, it's just bizarre behavior.
Not really. Put yourself in the situation of both of the selling clubs. They obviously want to sell, their eyes are lit up that it's a PL Club that's after their player (the player will also be keen because it means they massively improve their personal salary - maybe it flushes out a player really keen on joining us, isn't it better to want a player that has the enthusiasm to make a difference here, or would we prefer a Perisic picking up the last big paycheck of his career who doesn't appear be want to be here at all?) so they know they can obtain the PL tax and that the money is there. BUT both the selling clubs know that the buying club (Spurs) can and are willing to pull the trigger on one of two players, they know that it's not bullshit either as both players are similarly profiled. Therefore they only have a 50% chance of cashing in on their player. Whilst it might not affect the valuation it lends itself to no fucking around by Club and agent with silly terms and small print guff, but most importantly it motivates the seller.

Should we opt to sign both it doesn't change that either as we appear to be advancing both deals close to a point of accord making that move possible. Should this be about signing just one then it won't change anything either.
