Good player Dani Ceballos.
Knows his onions (sorry).
Not in Zidane's plans
But any deal that results
in CE leaving is a no deal for me.

If we can get Ndombele and LoCelso there really isn't a space for Ceballos anyway.

Isn't there?

Dembele, Wanyama, Eriksen out
Ndombele, Lo Celso, Ceballos in

Would leave us in a stronger position tbh

IMO LoCelso is a CM more than a number 10 and we would have Ndombele, LoCelso, Winks, Dier and Ceballos after those 2 spots. We might change formation but I still think we'd come out weaker by losing Eriksen. I'd also assume that Wanyama won't pass a medical and so will remain on our books. What the rumour might do though is give Aulas a nudge in the right direction.

If those three came in, I would expect Dier to probably leave

Dier has had a poor season but he is quite unique in the way he allows us to change formation during any match. I'm pretty sure Poch rates him highly for his character as well and I'm sure he'll improve a lot when his fitness/health issues are behind him.

Especially when you take injuries and age into account.
CE would be a 'keeper' but ONLY if is heads right.

I suspect Dier will opt to move to CB this summer if Alderwerield leaves and our CM will be made of NDombele, LoCelso, Winks, Sissoko and Skipp as back up.

Personally, I don't mind signing Ceballos but CE swap plus 40m puts him at about 60-70m bracket which is hugely over-priced in my view

Dier's main focus this summer is recapturing some of that mobility that first saw him break onto the scene at RB and his first season at DMC. Since then he has regressed in that he isnt so much a Defensive midfielder than an anchor in midfield (and i do mean an actual anchor)

45 millions. Do they just want him on loan?

Every single summer there is a story about a player swap with Real, and not once have we actually done that.

On the button! I do not know how some believe Dier is the answer if Toby leaves

Christ, just googled "Spurs Real Madrid swap deal [insert year]" and it's a minefield of explosive horse shit.

Apparently for the past 3 years we've been on the verge of some kind of Kane, Alli, Bale, Modric, Isco uber swap.

Player swaps in general are touted often in the media but how often do they happen?
