Never mind everyone saying “We have to keep these youngsters” next season.
The number one player to keep is VDH !!
We are a weak enough as it is.
Without him, especially with CCVickers going, leaves a huge physicality, and experience hole, at the heart of our defence.
I know CCV is a youngster himself, but he has built a good understanding with Van, and Joe Rodon, and is going to be a big loss, when he departs.
If we want to kick on next season, it is imperative we offer a decent contract to Van, it’s an absolute must do, deal.
He is one of the best centre backs in the division, and seems like he really wants stay, and Be a part of the Potter revolution.
Reading between the lines, I don’t think he is asking for a fortune.
We have no choice as a club, but to sell Daniel James, because of our financial position.
Hopefully, Mr Birch can then convince the owners, to reinvest some of the windfall, into a contract extension for Van The Man.
And perhaps, a sneaky bid for an extended loan of CCV ?
Let’s face facts, he’s not going to get in the Spurs side, any time soon, but as far as Spurs are concerned, he’s getting a good education, in a tough league, plus, in a team playing it out from the back.
