I'm worried we'll move to a three at the back when Davies returns. As Tanganga doesn't really deserve to be dropped, Sanchez has been our best player and Alderweireld hasn't really done much to be dropped.

I think Poch is one of these managers wary of young kids having too much too soon and would rather hold them back until they have proved they have the humility and mentality to cope with all the money and fame that comes quickly once they've had a run in the first team
That is probably a factor. Another factor is that the higher up in the table that you are, the more pressure there is on you to deliver, both for players and for managers. So managers high up in the table tend to rely less on youth since playing an inexperienced kid can cost you points. Poch mentioned as much in an interview.
Currently we can afford to bed in Tanganga. Were we fighting up in the top 3 we probably would not have.
I really rate this lad, he's come in and looks like he's played 100 games already.
I'd be planning around Tanganga and Sanchez as our long term CB pairing.
Phase him in, give him plenty of experience alongside the likes of Toby and Jan while they are still with us.

In talks over a new contract. Currently on 1k a week and the club are offering 15k a week rising to 20k with bonuses. Yes yes it's a lot of money but looking at his talent and players with less ability at other clubs earning more it does seem a low offer from the club. We shall see. Sign it Japh!!!
Spurs starlet Tanganga in talks over staggering 1500 PER CENT pay rise
EXCLUSIVE BY SAMI MOKBEL: His recent emergence as a key member of Jose Mourinho's first-team has resulted in Tottenham accelerating talks.www.dailymail.co.uk
he’s taking to it like a duck to water but I don’t think a massive pay rise for 5 games or whatever is going to help him in the long term, this way he knows he has to keep performing and improving and the new contracts and further pay rises will come.
Levy does some things I don’t agree with but I think he’s spot on here.
Jose seems unsure of Dav and although I'm chuffed about Tanganga coming to the fore, I really hope that Sanchez doesn't get ousted all over again to make room at CB for Japhet. If so, we really do risk ruining him and wasting the 40m we have wrapped up in him. We really need to work towards a pairing of Sanchez & Tanganga, but I don't see Jose moving away from Toby any time soon.
But yeh, on the flipside, a full-time switch to 3CBs doesn't sound too appealing.... We need that extra body to take the pressure off further up the pitch.
Someone on here told to me he'd been beaten every time in the FB position yesterday..... M'kay.
This guy has so much potential, really hope he is nurtured in the right way.
Breast milk from Jose?
Needs to be given a go up front.
Hes quick, strong, can dribble.

I reckon we might get a go the way our attackers are dropping .
Having given Toby a ridiculous contract Levy has left himself wide open. That plus basically bending over trying to please Eriksen and a monster contract for the manager.
Tanganga deserves at the very least a clause where whatever he signs gets looked at again in 6 months

"It’s just being ready to go when the manager needs me. It’s a big deal to be playing at this level. I’ve still got to learn a lot to improve but it’s a great experience and I’m enjoying it game by game."
His form could also land him a new bumper pay rise, with Spurs preparing a new £20,000-a-week contract - a stark improvement on his current £2k-a-week wages.
Already an England under-20's regular, Tanganga's parents are always in the stadium to watch him, and he adds that making his dad proud is what keeps him motivated.
“I say this a lot, my dad he’s sacrificed a lot for me and done all he could to make sure that I get to this level, so just seeing him smile makes me really happy and tells me what this means to him."
“Then my friends I have been with since I was eleven at secondary school - we all had different dreams but seeing them watching my games and cheering me on and being supportive shows I’m in good hands."
And obviously none of them had the humilty and mentality, cause only Poch possesses this qualities as long as he's perfect.
Proper soul food that. This is what football is about.
