Another thing I'd wonder is whether Real would allow him to leave without a buy-back clause?
And if he ends up looking really good, they’re going to be able to buy him anyway.I’d sign up even with the buyback. All about the structure. 2 years until they can exercise and in the 40-45M area. Worst case is they exercise and you’ve got the funds right there to buy the next LB.
It’s not going to open Pandora’s box. It’s a young talented player from Real Madrid.
Yeah, but that's a buyback on Tottenham's terms. There's nothing to say Real Madrid would accept that.I’d sign up even with the buyback.

I wouldn’t rule out a back 4 with 2 attacking fullbacks. Liverpool do it, and all indications this preseason are that we’re gonna be pressing high this year. I know we played a league 1 side and two championship sides, but I could see us approaching at least the games against lesser sides with for example Doherty and reguilon. We played the last 25-30 mins today with both aurier and sessegnon high up. Neither TAA and Robertson are great defensively, especially 1v1, and it doesn’t hurt Liverpool, although they have 2 rapid center backs, one of which is the best in the world. Now I’m sort of making your point, but I can definitely see a Liverpool-esque set up this season, going off our preseason.I think SR with MDoc would give us infinitely better balance and attacking threat.
I could see a 5-3-2 which would also help support Kane up top.
Jose loves Dier who would work well with Toby and Davies (DS in rotation where needed)
PEH to anchor the 3 with GLC and Dele would be solid too.
Moura Berg Lamela would give us some genuine options in game and as alternatives also.
A back 4 with SR and MD would be very unlikely
Don’t do it to yourself.I was just getting used to tempering down my expectations once again and now we're linked with this guy and Van De Beek.
Could mean that we would loan Sessegnon out with a view to eventually selling Davies in a year or two.Would surely mean we will only use Sessegnon at left wing because he’d barely get a game at LB. He’s ace but we’re gonna have to shift some non HG players to make this work.
