I'd counter that by saying you do realise de bruyne played 28 games at CM last season....You do realise him and De Bruyne play in different positions yeah? Ceballos isn't an Eriksen or a player you'd be grading on how many assists he got, he's a CM.
Not sure if you googled wrong video, he's got the right amount of pace for a CM to carry the ball past players and fantastic technical ability, comparing him to one of the best players in the world at 21 is a bit harsh.
VDV ?

Edit: Scoring 6 and assisting 10
Grealish is not a CMToby, Dembele, Sissoko, Nkoudou, Janssen & Llorente should all be up for sale IMO and the club should make a CM (Ceballos I'd snap your hand off for), WF (Zaha or Martial), another understudy CM (ideally Grealish, possibly Cook) and a central defender (Pavard or De Ligt) to replace them.
I do think replacing Dembele is a bigger urgency than replacing Alderweireld, I make Toby's replacement 4th on our list of priorities should we make any moves at all over the next week or so.
I still can't get my head around no deals being struck for any of our out players. They play for a top 3 team in the Prem surely there's clubs out there they'd be huge for this season

he's dutch and he wasnt young when he came to us.
He was neither Spanish, or particularly young...
VdV was 27 and is dutch
Grealish is not a CM
He could easily play in a 4-3-3. In a double pivot I would totally agree.
Dier wasn't a DM until he worked with Pochettino.
Dier had played central mid for Sporting plenty of times.
We've been using 4-3-3 in pre-season and Poch has deployed it in all 3 games. The question is whether he has done it because of the options available but I don't think he has.
Being totally naive and ignorant about this guy, please can someone compare Dani Ceballos' playing style to someone established so I can understand what we are dealing with here?

If we go for him, I hope you're right. You can't understand everything from watching a 10 minute you tube reel - although 10 minutes gives you more of an idea than you had before.
We have form for signing players who aren't quite up to the job - as well as signing players who are.
A year or two ago, all I was reading about him was that he couldn't get in the RM side. If they let him go, he's not up to their standards. I feel Andre Gomes is similarly overrated. Another decent team's unwanted player.
I was expecting to see someone with a similar skillset of a De Bruyne - someone who has paintbrushes for football boots, an artist. What I saw is someone with low end product who can't cross very well and has no pace or strength, but can dribble fairly well.
The danger is that some people would clap a chair if it was photographed on deadline day in a spurs shirt, and Spurs have form for signing players dressed up as more than their actual skills warrant.
Would love to be wrong .
He actually played RB quite a bit in his first season...You're kind of missing the point. Dier was signed and played his whole first season as a CB for Tottenham
