Or, here's a thought - we could hold on to our best players and try and buy other good ones.

Those who think he's been poor obviously haven't seen chiriches, kaboul and fazio.

Sell him and play Stambouli in the back line. Benji has to get on the pitch more.

I disagree with your first sentence but agree with your second.

He is not a centre-back so why disrupt the, already poor, back-line even further by putting a square peg in a round hole. I do want to see him get a chance in the PL, in his best position. I think Poch is very cautious when integrating new players but in this case I think he is being overly so.

He played CB with Montpellier before. I guess I would just be like Guardiola and quickly put a midfielder back there, especially one who has shown a lot of good qualities in Stambouli.

Yeah he's played without a striker before too. Anything is possible. For Spurs though I'd prefer to see our player in their best positions the majority of the time..
