Sad to see moose leave. On his day an outstanding player, but if Levy has managed to get a transfer fee out of a player with only 6 months left on his contract, and coming back from yet another serious injury, then fair play to him.
Best of luck Moose!!

I'll always treasure his performance against Chelsea a few years ago when he came on and kept the ball and we ran out time and won. No matter what Chelsea did they just couldn't get the ball off him. Masterful match winning performance

Looking forward to seeing that money reinvested in this window on his replacement...

Sad to see him go, was virtually unplayable when fit. Comments from fellow pros speak volumes. Belgian and Spurs team mates generally all describe him as the worst player to play against in training, impossible to get the ball off him or keep it from him. Too strong and too technical.
Just seems his body cannot cope with the demands of Poch and PL football. So a decent career move for him, less stress on his body’s could extend his playing days, and no doubt be lucrative during this period too. Best of luck to him. Absolute star of a player. Comes to something that whenever we played Utd I never feared Pogba’s power because I always believed Dembele would be on top of that.
Onwards for Spurs, our paper thin midfield needs bolstering, so what are our options? Of all the players I’ve seen, De Jong remains my favourite, followed by Rabiot but I just feel both will be on the wanted lists of more attractive propositions than us, and whilst they may consider us, it will be only after the Barca’s etc have ruled themselves out. Which may come too late for us. My realistic favourite would be a punt on Sander Berge, has the size and physicality to cope, but appears to have the technique on the ball to be a real asset. Can stride forward with the ball, and has a great passing range.
We cannot make do with what we have. Interesting to see whether we recall Onomah to pick up the squad space, and utilise Demeble’s Non HG status spot on a new forward instead. Options....

Most will robably go on his loyalty bonus. It’s freeing up the squad place and wages.

£11m is only £4m less than we bought him 6 years ago.

I feel this is madness, given our current CM situation. You'd at least think, he would be able to play the remaining games of this season. He's been one of our key performers in the top-6 matches as well.
Where do we get anywhere near that quality for just the rest of the season, for that pittance of a fee? I understand that we'd like to help him, after his many years of loyal service, but why couldn't we just let him go on a free in the summer?
