He could actually be an upgrade on one of Mason/Carroll/Bentaleb.We could have done with this player a few years ago, but not now with the likes of Carroll, Mason and a few others coming through the youth system - Badelj is not better as his £5m price tag indicates.

There is Harry Winks, I suppose. But nobody is suggesting that Badelj isn't better than Harry Winks, I hope.Again, I'm not going to argue against who Spurs may already have from within,
I love Badelj's style. He has his weaknesses, his moments of nonchalance, but he's got such an elegant way of playing that it is a joy to watch. I've written about him on here many times (since his Dinamo Zagreb days, I believe).
I follow many/most Croatian players from most leagues, but Badelj is up there with the players I enjoy watching/following the most. Subtle touches and movements that may go unnoticed when watching the game as a whole, but very clear when paying particular attention to the player himself.
