Sorry if I’m being a bit thick, but I don’t understand where you’re coming from.
Are you saying that there’s no players (in the same situation as VDV was back then) that are currently struggling at huge clubs across Europe, wouldn’t improve our squad?

I would like a Van der Vaart any day, his sublime skills would still sit well with us I think PS He could also score a goal out of nowhere.
I do agree it's much much harder to strengthen this team than the 2008 version

He would certainly improve our squad, which is just as important. You seem to be of the idea that football is only about 11 players.

EDIT: And to add, if we signed the van der Vaart of 10 years ago, he'd make this XI, with Eriksen or Alli dropping into CM.

Vidal at Barca. Ceballos at Real. Rabiot at PSG. All three players who are struggling to make the XI of those clubs yet would instantly improve ours. The notion that Spurs are too good for certain players just because they're not in the XI at Europe's elite is baffling in my eyes.

Now it's being reported that Schalke are keen on loaning in Janssen

Given they're six points off Europa League qualification, let alone twelve points off the Champions League spots, are they sure that's wise?

We can be a graveyard for strikers Redrov. Postiga, to name two who have done much better when NOT playing for us.

Pavlyuchenko is another.
