I doubt we will sell Danso. Think his commitment in the heat of battle will be in RDZ's mind. He is a great back-up
Until the deal is done I won't be getting too excited re-Van Hecke.
Rumours are Saliba needs surgery and will either miss the world cup or have the surgery after the world cup. I think Woolwich might move for a centre back and they love to hijack us. This could very easily end in tears again.

I think the one thing they are short on are CBs who can also play FB.
Danso stays and Vuskovic gets loaned again is my guess but world cup performances could play a big part. If Vuskovic is starting for Croatia and has some stand out performances then we could change our mind and decide that he's ready.
My thinking is vuskovic goes on loan this season then comes back next season to compete with van hecke when were hopefully in europe and have more games.
Given our injury history I am all for having dept in as many positions as possible.
As for Vuskovic he is obviously getting loaned out again for his development.
Van Heck, Senesi and Robertson this early is quite good.
But I still worry about Savinho and the lack of goals.
Its the strikers and forwards that are the problem. Until we throw bags at people like Osimhen or Ramos. I dont know where we gonna score our next goal from.

Liverpool have signed Jaquet and may want bigger names.
Senesi is coming to us mate
Vuskovic said himself that he won't be at Hamburg next season. I'd accept loaning him out only to Hamburg since it holds a sentimental value to him, but I don't get why we would loan him to another Premier League club. If he keeps playing well, he'll earn points that could've served us instead. If he doesn't, his value drops massively. It's a lose-lose.
My initial thinking was Romero + Dragusin sold, probably around £60m, that money goes into the midfield and Vuskovic comes into the squad
With the van Hecke I assume itll be more like Romero + Dragusin sold, the money covers van Hecke - And £20-30m goes into the midfield
Still not bad work, to be fair
Although the focus on defence over midfield/attack is unexpected to me
Either way, Robertson, Senesi, van Hecke in - Romero/Dragusin out = leaves us with a much better defence, with better balance
Seems to be this outrage that we are known as a "big 6" club and everyone is desperate for us to lose that status. Then they realise that basically any player playing for a non-big 6 club wants to join us and it just fuels their outrage even more!
Is Senesi not done yet?
It's possible we could have 4 transfers wrapped up before the WC (Robertson, Senesi, Van Hecke, Savinho)
And you could make a case for all of them starting the first match of the season.
If it happens, that's impressive tbf

No, I don't think so. But have in mind that Romero and Dragusin is probably leaving, and having three class CBs (VdV, van Hecke, Senesi) aren't enough if we want to challenge for CL spots or if we get injuries - which with our history is not unlikely.
If Senesi doesn't join, I could very well see Danso stay as he's proved himself to be a reliable PL player. Vuskovic hasn't proved that yet and his first Spurs season will probably be focused on settling in and then trying to challenge for a spot in the starting XI. And thats good management: We don't have time for him not performing from the get go if we want to compete this season.
My guess is we're selling Romero, Dragusin and Phillips, IF we're buying van Hecke. And probably Danso too if Senesi joins.

And not a big net spend at all. Good business especially with more needing done elsewhere. I’m liking where this is going.
