People thinking a big club will swoop for him in the summer forget Daniel Levy is the chairman. He won’t be sold for less than a record fee or once he has year left on his contract(‘28). Levy has many faults, but selling world class players isn’t one of them.
 
Wtf!!!
Selling world class players is one of his BIGGEST faults. It's because of him and his failure / unwillingness to invest in a team around them they all end up wanting out to further their careers.
Utter cock. You’re untethered from the truth.

Three world class players sold in the last decade or so.

None domestically.

Two to the biggest team in football and the other to one of the top four teams in world football.

All players want to go to the top clubs if they can. Liverpool didn’t sell Suarez or Coutinho because they’re unambitious.

Don't even bother mate - he isn't willing to ever accept that he is wrong about anything.
 


This is OTT. He's almost certainly the most exciting CB in the world but I don't think he's the best CB in the world, yet. If I'm honest, IMO Romero is still ahead of him for us but they are so different in the way they play it's pointless to compare them.

VDV is also the most unique CB in the world without question. He reminds me of Jonah Lomu when he gets going but he has much better feet to go with all that athleticism.

I think in all honesty he's ahead of Romero, precisely because of that uniqueness you mention (recency bias with Romero's consistency for us also playing a part here). I'd say he's our most valuable player (for us and the market), even if he might not be our best. Yet
 
Need to give him an extension & insert an 100M buyout clause ( maybe 200M just to be safe)

Remind me. What did those 3 world class players win with Levy / ENIC's Spurs before they wanted out?
What am I missing?
And surely you must realise how pathetic you're comparison to Liverpool is?
They win multiple trophies. Levy doesn’t win any. Despite the comparable wealth of the two clubs.

I think there’s no question he’d be the most expensive to buy in our squad.

He’s younger than Romero and despite how unique and exciting he is, he’s still learning his trade as a CB. It’s pretty scary to think about how high that ceiling is.
