Not many good ones out there unfortunately. The top ones are already at huge clubs. The one that sticks out is Mario Hermoso at Espanyol. I read somewhere that Real Madrid have a 7mil buy back clause on him or something. Would be nice if they did us a solid should we sell them Eriksen.I'd prefer us to sign a left-footed CB as a long term replacement for Vertonghen should Toby leave, with Sanchez/Foyth taking up that RCB role.
Ok cheers mate. I find Tweet threads pretty hard to read at times. Thanks for clarifying.
FWIW I think Joachim Andersen will be Toby’s replacement.

Frankfurt’s teenage, 6’3 defender, Evan N’Dicka, has been an ever-present for the German side this season.
The more highlights of matches and compilations I watch of Pablo Fornals the more I think he would be perfect for us. He also has a €25-30mill release clause apparently.
Decent pace, hard working, silky with the ball like Dembele, very good vision and passing. Pair him up with a destroyer like Diawara and we could have a new midfield to be proud of.
If we cant get Ndombele or Rabiot then I would go all out for Fornals.
Ah, I don't have a Twitter account either, so that probably doesn't help.That's because JJ's profile is private, you can only see his tweets if he's allowed you to follow him.
Luckily I started following him a long time ago and got a follow back so I'm fully in the club
Ah, the old chestnut about not having CL affecting sighings. Does anyone really believe that?
We’ve had it three years and barely attracted any coups in the transfer market, whilst Arsenal and Chelsea having attracted - Aubameyang, Lacazette, Pulisic, Kovacic, Higuain without CL.
Players obviously want to play in the CL but in the end money talks and is what gets deals done.
I don't understand why you are saying that the club are arrogant over Eriksen. We have had great offers on the table for 2 years for him and he hasn't signed (yes he's lost money)them as he wants to fulfill his football ambition and try to play for Real Madrid. How is that arrogant?“Eriksen can be replaced” is fair to say, but also utterly delusional and definitely reflective of the club’s arrogant, mislead belief.
Thinking like that has led to us going through an injury crisis this year, with no adequate stand-ins. We’ve had no plan B for when Eriksen isn’t firing, or when Son can’t miraculously bag us an undeserved goal. We have been shit for a few months, Dortmund aside, and we’ve thrown away a massive gap on those outside the top 4. If we don’t get champions league this year, it’s because we’re run by arrogant twats whose transfer ideology holds no bearing on reality.
New stadium looks cool though. Shame our first European game there next year will probably be a Europa League qualifier
It's like how we thought we could just replace Walker. Now Toby and Eriksen. Those are some of the best players in the world at their positions and are so hard to replace. Look at replacing Bale... Eriksen was basically all we got out of that. And with the clubs recent transfer activity it's hard to be optimistic on how it will turn out. I think most would agree we haven't had a great summer window since 15/16.i don't understand why you are saying that the club are arogant over Eriksen. we have had great offers on the table for 2 years for him and he hasn't signed (yes he's lost money)them as he wants to fulfil his football ambition and try to play for Real Madrid. How is that arrogant.
Is he world class on his day - yes
Does he hit those high standards nearly every game- no
Can that be replaced - yes

It feels like we're starting over a bit after not adding the right pieces for the final push with what felt like a "golden generation" for Spurs.
Eriksen is world class on his day, there is no denying that. But we do not have to replace him in our squad, that would be nigh on impossible anyway. What we need to do is adapt to playing without him. Let's hope Poch and Levy have been working on a plan.

This is key.
Liverpool managed when Suarez and then Coutinho Left, two players that were key to the way they were playing.
They are arguably in a better position now than they were before these sales. Obviously our position financially and in the market is different, but they signed players that we arguably could've attained too. I know we missed a few too them, but that besides the point. The point is we do not have to run out and spend vast sums of money to make up for Eriksen's loss.
It's very optimistic, but I hope with losing Eriksen we can have the same shift and be better off in the long run. No disrespect to Eriksen or what he has done for our club, but its our only way forward without him.
And there lies our problem in a nutshellYou are able to attract better players if you have guaranteed champions league is what i meant.
Whether or not we decide to pay the sufficient is a different conversation.
