He reminds me a bit of Bergvall (no, not because both are blond). 187 cm Viking

Very different type of player though. Victor is a "Marathon Runner". Impressive how unfazed he always seems to be and he just claimed that spot in no time. Already played against City and Chelsea. Also a surprise in the last national team selection
And do you think he could do a "Bergvall" and get EPL ready in 1 season...?

People have been banging that drum for over a decade (conveniently glossing over the fact that all their stars soon get sold... Or even walk to a 'big dog' for free!)........
Dortmund
Brighton (and Lester before them... And Southampton before that.)
The big diff with BVB is that they have a virtually guaranteed path to the CL every season from which to entice young stars looking for a stepping stone to Madrid/Barca/City/Bayern.
Whereas the equivalent in the EPL is opting for a Brighton or a Palace/WHam (i.e. somewhat of a step lower) through fear of being locked into a top 6-3 club for your prime years.
There’s no problem with following the Dortmund/Brighton strategy - but you have to do it better than we are right now.
Surely gets offered wages we won’t compete with?
Has to be up there with the most sought after CMs in the world?
Surely all this depends on us winning the UEC.
If we do, then we can spend decent money, if not then it's bargain basement.

I'd avoid signing any more i8/19 year old midfielders for a year or two as we have Bergvall and Gray who need to develop/mature a bit still, better to probably buy one 'first team ready' upgrade on one of Spurs other first team midfield players.
It would make more sense to integrate into Spurs first team the likes of Alfie Devine and/or Jamie Donley and/or George Abbott over the next year or so, all of whom have showed they can play various types of midfield role both in preseason and on loan, as all of them are at Spurs already (so no more fees) and all of them will count as List B/u21's and then Club Trained players so not taking up squad places which are in short supply.
With obligation to buy if Levy wins hair of the year
Dortmunds wheels are falling off in that respect. They want to go back to the Dortmund method
There's a lot of similarities between us and Dortmund if we are being honest. Both teams got too comfortable as far as their position in the domestic football heirarchy goes and started treading water. Allowing other teams to catch up and do what they do better.
Levy has already set the tone for a penny pinching summer. We could be in for an all-timer here.
I reckon Tel on a permanent and a 30m CB from Italy to replace Romero (Tomori still knocking about?).
Target for new manager will be a top 10 finish and Levy probably thinks the current squad is good enough to do that.

Agree. I just thought it interesting we tried for him last summer. We must be bidding on these young players all the time.
Physically, yes, he's a big kid. Technically he'd probably need some time. Depends what expectations would be. No one wanted a runner like Gallagher when we were linked
Caleb Yirenkyi at Nordsjælland could also be one to watch. Still raw but he's taken some massive steps over the season. Could be Brighton's next Baleba
Think we will get Esteve from Burnley.
