Isn't a window consisting of Dav, Aurier & Llorente an example of such a blueprint?

Southampton have been trying to get him to extend his contract, but no progress so far.
Southampton have just sold their other contract rebel, Cedric Soares to Woolwich, up the position for KWP
So I think this might have legs. Decent midfield player and only 24 still.
We bought Vic off Soton.
20m of sale price goes directly back to the agent too.
We need someone who can run around and win the ball back. Hojberg can do that reasonably well, although he's nothing special.
But he is not a DM so what exactly is the point?
Can play as a 6.
Really good player. Think he'd work well in a 3 alongside Ndombele and GLC.
Southampton would never sell though.
You said the same thing two different ways. Like, there are other reasons why players may not be coming in is my point.
He has played as a DM and certainly defending is the stronger part of his midfield game ... agents always do the deal first, maybe Southampton don't want him running down his contract ... they always need money so who knows ...
Step 1 is agents talking...
If we are going to go for a defensive type midfielder, then I want Spurs to aim a lot higher than fucking Holberg or wherever his name is. Much rather wait until the summer and spend big money on a top class holding midfielder. A striker is a much bigger priority right now with Kane out the whole season. It will be a complete shambles if we don’t sign a striker.
My only issue with this chap, and I say it as someone who has never seen him play, is whether or not he's good enough.
I don't want any more players that 'can do a job'. We've had them for fucking decades. I only want us to sign genuinely excellent players that we would want, regardless of our injury situation.
I do get the Llorente comparison, and I liked that tall handsome bastard, but that sort of signing still speak to us just waiting for Harry to come back and then flogging him like a dead horse again. We need an excellent second striker that we might even choose to play, when Harry is fit.
Hojbjerg is too random not to have legs.
Also, bizarrely, this could actually fit a cryptic ITK that SC posted yesterday (?)
Something something Hamlet something something.
That would indicate a Danish player...
