He’s a CB that played CB and LB. Similar to what Peo did with Ake.

If we signed VDV who is to say we wouldn’t be able to use him at LB as well?

The logic I’m using is to say there is an example to show other clubs have signed 2 CBs and made it work. Where is the example to show we can’t sign VDV and Tapsoba?
There's none, we need 2, and arguably could do with wiping the slate clean entirely there and starting afresh... I've no issue with that logic, just your example amuses me.

VDV could well get minutes at lb for us, but I think that side of signing him would be seen solely as a bonus from the club's PoV rather than an intention, we're looking at him because we desperately need a cb.

It’s hard to know until we see how Ange sees the team shape.

Either way, CB has been neglected so badly, there is no reason not to pick up VDV and Tapsoba imo
 
Jumped out to me as well.

Gallagher would be just OK. Not an exciting signing but a worthwhile project.

Spurs fans would take to an aimless runner, pointy shouty type like Gallagher far more easily than a legit talent like Ndombele. Even if the Gallagher type made more mistakes or missed more trackbacks.
It’s not about what individual players can do, it’s about 11 players gelling, become a machine, a team. Do we really want brilliant individual players like Ndombele again?
 
I think the VDV deal is ready to go and we're using it as a bit of leverage to get Tapsoba. Wouldn't be surprised to see them both in for around €70m.
