Spurs made over £100m from academy players Poch decided he didn't want - Bentaleb, Townsend, Mason, Carroll, Veljkovic and others. Problem he wasn't very good at buying, so over spent on the likes of Sissoko, Sanchez, N'Jie, Nkoudou et al so not sure we gained much in quality players.

He's a great footballer for any age.
And his Panini sticker is quite valuable on eBay. Win win.
>get a top CB

No we will just sit back like cowards and not do shit.
And a right back.
Yea he is so great that he didnt even make the squad for Chelsea's last game, talk less of competing with kovacic and Giorginho (and both are not top quality)
Are you per chance American?
American??? Orange idiots don't get to be leaders where I am from
Sabitzer looks a leader on the pitch, that’s what we need, players who aren’t afraid to call out team mates, I like him and think he would be good signing. The centre back situation is getting critical - I still think Toby is our best CB and he doesn’t get a kick (bar cup games) these days
Despite the Werner hype he was also the biggest pain in the arse against us in the CL last season (a metric I rather like for scouting players) and positionally would replace Sissoko directly which would be a smart move.
I made the effort to watch that Skriniar character a couple of times, the least the club could do is buy him.
How do you know Sabitzer will even get in the side? Where would he play? No way is Jose playing PEH, Tanguy and Sabitzer in a 3. Unless he's turning Sabitzer into a more defensive midfielder..
Sabitzer wouldn't start over winks anyway
He’s currently in and out of the inter team as well, so I think it’s fair to say he’s available for the right price. But yes, he’s the sort of Calibre and type I think most of us would be happy to see at the Lane.
I think it could work. Sabitzer can play on the wing at times if needed and there have been a couple of games where Ndombele is pushed further forward towards the number 10 spot.
I reckon that's a pretty well balanced midfield 3.
He's been playing CM for Leipzig all season. Doesn't necessarily have to be a pure defensive midfielder for it to work. He still puts a shift in and has the right personality and mentality that this club needs in midfield. He'd almost effectively be Sissoko's replacement, but would put up better defensive numbers.
I like Sabitzer a lot but i just wonder how he fits into a Jose team. Basically he's a creative player and Jose usually has room for 1 of those. 2 in the same side is pushing it.
PEH/Sabitzer/Ndombele would be a better version of Thiago/Fabinho/Wijnaldum.
