Indeed. EPL proven doesn't simply mean one has played in said league; it's means proving to be capable of playing and contributing well at said level.
Not better than Rose/Davies or Son/Lucas/Lamela currently so at least lets see things for what they are.... He's a punt.... An expensive GKN if you will.
....Otherwise next thing you know he'll be considered a bust based on his pricetag rather than his development (just ask Davison!) ...
Only based on age and how we dealt with Alderweireld out of the team in 2017/2018.
I don't think Eriksen is as important as people say in the sense that I think we'll get by fine without him with smart signings and a chance in formation.
Very well put, sir.Sessegnon got as many or more assists than any of our players bar Eriksen this season.
For a 19yo kid played in a multitude of positions, in a newly promoted side who made a pigs ear of the league, he's proved he has a lot of potential. And he was more impressive than any 17/18yo has been in recent years in the championship - 15 goals and 6 assists, again playing a number of positions - I'm not sure where the line is crossed from unproven potential to proven exactly, but it's a line we have to try and walk smart with some signings because, we aren't going to buy many that are proven beyond doubt (just look at the price tag for players like Zaha, who's still not exactly proven he's top 6 quality after numerous years).
We aren't going to buy the finished product, most of the best signings we make need be purchased before they peak. I can't think of too many 19yo's out there who fit the "buy before they are too expensive to buy" remit than him, who have achieved more, and are also HG as a nice bonus.
I don’t think that’s the case he’s been amazing for a while now. The pairing with Jan has been one of the best for multiple seasons. Honestly we’ve been spoiled which is why it seems like it’s not a big deal but asvthecsaying goes “you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone”.Don't think It will be difficult to find a substitute to Toby,
This bloke would be quite handy in our midfield.
90% pass accuracy
1 assist
2 interceptions
8.3 rating for the match (WhoScored)
7.3 avg rating in UCL and last 5 matches all comps

You just know if Bale moves to the EPL not to us, he will pull up trees.
He is an amazing player and if the deal can be worked out in which it’s not silly money we must take him.
^Imagine Winks and Ndombele in the midfield, that would be unbeatable.
That’s just bench warming.....I’d be happier with the Rabiot and Bale types.Would very much like to see Tielemans and Sessegnon come to Spurs in the summer.
Oh deary meI don't think Eriksen is as important as people say.
How fucken good has McGinn been this season?!
If our budget is 30m then we might as well not botherSo if we sign Ryan Sess for 30 million what is that? 50% of our transfer budget for the window?
