It seems like the only outs we’re going to complete are loans

I wonder if we’re going to get stung by exceeding the maximum amount again 😂

I suspect that’s why we don’t want to loan out Dier. We’ll probably let him go on a free with lloris. It doesn’t look like either of them will be named in the PL squad list so won’t be able to play until January. Unless they go on a free and tip upon Saudi.
 
He was a good bit younger than the other players mentioned though, lots of reason to project growth from him, it just didn't happen.

It was him looking totally out of his depth in the PL that was the warning sign. That dropped his price to what Spurs, undeterred, were willing to pay.

Meh. I feel like if he had looked raw but talented you could say that, but my view of him was always that he was a player who matured early but never looked like he had some high ceiling. And then yes, he looked really limited in the Premier League but could see that coming a mile off.

The warning signs were there pre-PL though, imo. The signs of an early developer rather than someone who was going to explode.

That's fine and the distinction you mention is real, but Sess being Champo Team of the Season at 16 and Player of the Season at 17 are pretty unique accomplishments, it's not like many comparisons are available.
