I think that could be a genuine possibility so long as he was willing to make the positional change. Either that, or Hysaj/ Atal will happen.
Always the way, then the club trot out the usual “we tried but it was too complex to complete in time”
Massively respect this: I’ve always said I have no issue with players that want to leave Spurs for bigger and better things so long as a) they show respect to the club and b) don’t join a fellow top six side. If Eriksen does indeed keep this promise, then I’ll wish him the absolute best with whomever he signs for. Complete contrast to that snake, Walker.
It really is a complex deal though and we haven’t had much time to sort it what with Juve’s stance suddenly shifting towards getting rid of the player. It’d be amazing if we manage it but I certainly won’t hold a grudge against the club if we don’t.
The Aurier to PSG rumours might carry some weight as many have pointed out that the fee Betis ended up accepting for Lo Celso is only £2m more than the one they rejected back in May. Of course, payment structure has certainly changed but there is also a chance that the 20% sell-on fee to PSG vanished overnight and now resembles a slightly mad Ivory Coast international with a penchant for foul throws and giving away penalties. Ornstein's comments about Sessegnon are interesting especially as we brace ourselves to lose out on Dybala. If he doesn't sign we have no real back up for Kane beyond Son and maybe Lucas...but if they shift centrally we lose pace on the flanks...cue Sessegnon to plug that gap. It also means that should Toby leave after the window closes, we'll be able to utilise Davies at CB when needed (Jan shouldn't be playing as many games as he does at his age) and use Sess as cover for Rose. The fact that he is quite versatile is useful and despite saying we should delay signing him until January or even next summer, I can see the wisdom in bringing him in now. As for Dybala, the image rights supposedly add another £12m to the overall cost, which is bonkers. Can we just have a wiparound of all spurs fans globally? If we each give £2 I reckon we'll have it covered.
It’s not suddenly though...they’ve been wanting to shift him before the initial rumours started over 2 weeks ago
