I'd swap him for VDV on the basis his hamstrings work.
However, if we change manager I'm keeping VDV as he should be less injured then theoretically.
At the time lots of us who had seen him play for Blackburn knew it was worth going for him.
I’ll get ripped for saying this but I think his potential is much greater than Romero or VDV. He will be at top club soon, no way he is Everton long term. Other than experience his skillset is so all round, great on the ball, great off the ball.
Yep - just as many have said it was worth going for lots of other players who have turned out to be nothing special. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. So with respect, your comment adds nothing to what was being discussed - fans want lots of 'next big thing' players, a few of them will be great, most of them won't.
Yeah I think he is quality. Plus you only need to see the absolute change in Everton since he came back in the team this season.
Tottenham want to get something else done before signing Eberechi Eze
Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Eberechi Eze but there are other priorities to sort first in the summer transfer window.
Tottenham want to get something else done before signing Eberechi Eze

Tottenham’s former scout, Mick Brown, has confirmed that Eberechi Eze features prominently on Spurs’ summer wishlist but suggested that the North London club may not make a move for the player until they address other areas of the squad.
Eberechi Eze has been mooted as a target for Tottenham for a long time and the speculation linking the Crystal Palace man with a move to N17 has once again intensified ahead of the summer window.
Tottenham want defensive players before Eberechi Eze
Mick Brown, who remains well connected with those who work at Spurs, confirms that the former QPR man is a player that the North London club have had their eye on for a long time.However, he suggested that an attacking midfielder will not be a priority for Tottenham this summer, backing the club to sign a number six before they push ahead with a move for the Palace man.
When asked about the speculation over Eze’s future, Brown told Football Insider: “I know he’s one Tottenham have been looking at for a while. Eberechi Eze is very talented and he’d be a good fit for Tottenham under Postecoglou. Crystal Palace don’t want to lose him, though, he’s still a very important part of their side.
“For Spurs, they’ve got players like James Maddison and Kulusevski who play in his position and are prepared to run with the ball going forward. So they can cope without Eze in the meantime. They’ve always got some good technical players, but it’s not what they need right now.
“But when it comes to holding the fort, that’s where they’re lacking in numbers. I think they’re going to prioritise strengthening defensively with players at the back and in midfield before they focus on attacking talents. Then, when they’ve addressed those issues, I expect Eze will be a player they make a move for.”

I wanted Eze bad in the summer. I’m happy we didn’t pay the rumored £70 mill for him. He’s not a consistent difference maker.
Outside of his blistering pace, is there anything tremendously exceptional about VDV? He’s ok on the ball, not a great box defender though.
Hid ability to play the high line defence is his USP really.
sorry where in that quote does it indicate anyone else came in for him??
Same reason Bergvall chose us over Barca. And, chances are Berg will be better than Wart.

In a couple of years both will probably want to move up the ladder.
I watched Betis vs Real Madrid. Johnny Cardoso is a very good player. You have an option to sign him for 25m euros. A bargain.
£110m for WhartonHe certainly is not worth more than half of that fee right now. And there is no way Spurs are going to spend that amount of money on any player anyway.

Embarrassing we were too cheap and shortsighted to go for him. Levy seems to have learned from that one at least, and thank god we’re doing better now.
If Levy picks the right candidate for our next coach, we can challenge for the title as soon as next season.
Can’t do deals for more than one player at a time…..Tottenham want to get something else done before signing Eberechi Eze

dondo You think I'm being funny, but prime Poch with this squad would have been more than a match for Slot and current Liverpool. In fact Poch would have been the very kind of manager to coach actual wins against him. Our team is very close raw talent wise, but the tactics are way too high risk and backfiring greatly against quality that Ange has never had to coach against before.
Can’t do deals for more than one player at a time…..
I'd be surprised if we do any deals with Palace anytime soon- they put too much of a premium on their prices to be palatable to Daniel.
Depends if he stays fit. It’s very rare that a player becomes special when they’re constantly injured. Think of all the great centre backs over the past 30 years. Not many of them had a career riddled with injuries..
