Probably more likely a diamond with sissoko and NDombele either side and Eriksen/dele at the tip
Why do you disagree @Luke van der bale?

Waiting on him now, otherwise all agreed from what i hear
I just don’t see Winks, Sissoko and Ndombele all in the same midfield as our best option. We’d need Liverpool-levels of output from the fullbacks if we played that 3. We’d also be negating one of our biggest strengths currently, which is our talent in attacking midfield. Far more likely to be 2 of them, with Eriksen and Dele both in the side.Why do you disagree @Luke van der bale?
I can't remember the last time Spurs fans were so excited about a signing, I'd suggest a lowering of expectations for a 22 year old moving to a new league and country. Some on here are talking like we're signing a combo of Hoddle and Mackay.
I've never seen him play so can't comment but let's see what happens without all the hype, for his sake mainly.
Id be surprised if theres a medical today but lets see...Most reports yesterday (reliable press & ITK) said that a complete agreement was close, and that a medical was scheduled for today so this info seems to follow suit. Here’s hoping for an announcement today or tomorrow.
Is it just me that assumed we’d have the ‘him’ big sorted and it would be the ‘they’ we were waiting on?!
Pochettino certainly could in certain games where we need more power. Winks/Ndombele where we need more craft and penetration. Dier, Wanyama and Skipp to all rotate through depending on fitness, cup competitions or even a third body in their to crowd out the midfield.I would start both sissoko and ndombele as starting eleven
Thanks for the updates Val, always appreciated.Id be surprised if theres a medical today but lets see...
It's possible that it was sorted out last night and were just waiting for him to come in and sort out any minor details and sign the contract. Wasn't the medical meant to be today anyway?
Edit - just as Val says no medical today.
I am not nervous. You are nervous

For certain periods, say holding onto a lead away from home, we will see that three together certainly. But no way do I see that as our first choice side.
The info i posted this morning was from late last night, id be surprised if there was a medical booked for the following day and that info was omitted....we will see
a done deal can be announced subject to a medical, iirc we announced soldado before his medical
some of them are subject to work permits tooYeah from memory, back when we used to do transfers, we would usually announce them subject to medical?
