It doesnt matter. If Gala are going to £ up for Sanchez and Lo Celso, we just need fringe overseas players out the door
15 games in 15 weeks, and CBs rarely get injured. Its not really a gamble. Royal at CB would perhaps be an option too

For me its a balance between what the club sees as progress on and off the pitch. We finished 8th with some of the players we are fretting about getting rid of and although Phillips is young and unexposed would the club see it as risk reward to give him a chance which may only be the difference between say 7th or 8th this year IF it means he develops through experience and goes on to develop into a fine option next year? I mean he was purchased for a reason, they must see something in him. I'm not saying it does not come with risks, but you weigh up what those are

Postie was supposed to be about pathways for young players. It better to give say Phillips 5 x 20 minute spells this autumn than a Dier/Sanchez who'll be gone next May no matter what happens.

if the quality is in theory going to drop off, or you think it is, at least you have an end goal with playing Phillips, if and when needed. Also its likely one of the CBs like Davies will be before him in the line, so all in all, I think its much of a muchness with a more positive movement towards future Spurs

Not that people are desperate to see him leave, but :
EDIT : Seems like it's a loan with buy option
So he'll probably be back next summer.

I thought we could have got more for Sanchez, but will be good to move them both on.
I would rather see us give the youngsters a chance than keep playing Dier or Sanchez.

F**king loan again. Jesus Christ, if you loaned something 3 times like we've done with that waster, you'd expect one of the people borrowing it not to give it back.

To one of those players I wishhim the best of luck and thank him for his service.

He is a waster as you say. Probably our worse ever signing when you take in how much he cost.

I had such high hopes for him, he has such talent. I really hope for his own sake that he's okay and that not fulfilling his talent doesn't keep him awake at night when he retires.
Hard to remember a worse signing even though we've had a few high value flops.

No one knows but i do not think it will bother him that much, he will be too busy counting his money for doing nothing.

Loan, Sale, Free, Swap....as long as the squad trimmed to the point we want it, the rest is all just admin
I do think this not fulfilling their talent thing tends not to bother footballers, it's no different in the real world for the masses. I can draw my own comparisons, from school age I was labelled as intelligent but lethargic and that continued right through to working age in the city where I haven't gone quite as high up yet as I could have, had I really knuckled down.
But I've done well enough to earn decent money and have a comfortable living, and I sleep just fine. For the likes of NDombele? They are me x1000 never having to worry about anything financially and all whilst playing the game they love.
It's only the smallest percentage of professional footballers that reach the very top levels of football. And for those that have the ability to but don't get there, most of them I doubt it bothers them in the slightest. If it did, they would have done something about it....
