Tosin Adarabioyo

Sanchez to Monaco
Tosin to Spurs
Dier to Fulham.

Everybody wins

Not convinced tosin is better than Sanchez though?

 

[Chris Flynn]

Except Tosin, who doesn’t really want to come here.

I’m not either but it would replace a non-homegrown with a homegrown.

If we make money off it also, I guess it makes sense but not really an inspiring signing that will push us on

The Athletic reported Fulham’s interest in Dier today but also that he prefers to leave on a free to a permanent transfer. We’ll see if they’d take a loan, but also provides some more context for the full exclusion from the match day squads; perhaps he’s being left out to send the message that if he stays when there’s interest he won’t play this year.

Sanchez is stronger and potentially quicker but Tosin is far better on the ball and still has good speed. He would be a nice option behind Romero, with potential to get much better. Sanchez has hit his ceiling whereas Tosin has a ways to go and their "floors" are probably around the same at this point.

I'd be happy to keep Sanchez in this high line system. Him and Adarabioyo would fix us up at CB for depth imo and we could let Dier and Tanganga go.

Edit; Of course the question still remains whether TA actually wants to come here or not.

Totally agree, I'm fine with keeping Sanchez at this point simply down to fit in the system. He could do well under Ange, as long as he keeps it simple when he's on the ball.

Ange's tactics require him not to play it simple

I think the new tactics demand that several players 'show' for the ball at all times (especially playing out from the back), which imo makes life much easier for a player like Sanchez. His problem, imo, is when he's on the ball,looks up and sees no pass on, and then has opponents closing on him, that's when he panics and makes a mistake - that shouldn't happen under Ange (obviously it's bound to happen on the odd occasion cos we won't be perfect all the time !)

Yup, although our CBs didn't deserve to be defended last year the options for them to pass to when on the ball was atrocious. Thankfully we actually have movement now and willing relievers

Yep.gonna make a huge difference to anyone playing there having 2, 3 or even 4 options as opposed to maybe one as our central midfielders stand behind the attackers

Tosin is 1 year younger than Sanchez can't see that making a big difference in ceiling. We've seen Sanchez at his worst and seen some good stuff from him these year. Cant see how Tosin is a big step up from Sanchez playing to a good level.

Both are much of a muchness. Neither are the quality of someone like a Tapsoba that we were linked to and we should be trying to raise the bar not sign mediocrity.

Tosin was statistically the fastest CB in the league last season at 34.8km/h. Saliba was second and Issa Diop third.

While they might be of similar age profile, the direction of improvement is also important. This is Sanchez 6th season at Spurs and he has failed to make a significant year on year improvement in all of the previous seasons. Saying that Davinson suits this system better than previous ones might well be true, but it's very similar to saying that Dier suited being in the middle of Conte's back three. It might play to their respective strenghts, but it usually doesn't take long until the lack of quality shows.

Well I didn't know this. Great stat and arguably strengthens why we're interested. He would be a clear upgrade on Sanchez in that case.

Would of course be ideal. Personally believe though (opinion) that VDV is our big CB signing, and that any additional CB probably will be more rotation/cover without too much drop in quality (eg Tosin/Schuurrs) rather than displacing Romero or VDV as first choice. Hopefully someone with the required attributes to play in Ange’s highline, and not someone like Lenglet.

 

[HildoSpur]

Makes a lot of sense to bring him in as he is very pacy and is home grown. We have shafted ourselves in that we really need more HG players in the squad but it is what it is.
