If we need to sell someone or someones, I'd rather sell Dumfries (in addition to De Vrij) than let's say Lautaro, Barella, Skriniar, Bastoni. It's about what needs to be done and what we choose to do.Nah not really smart imo. I actually really enjoy the depth of our wing back positions right now. For once can we not diminish this good depth we have in two crucial positions? Depth is what lets you compete and go far in 3 to 4 competitions simultaneously - I wish we had gotten Gosens at the start of the season.
Also, all you'd squeeze out of Levy are pennies and paper clips. They are not big spenders. A Dumfries on the pitch is worth way more than any sort of plusvalenza we'd be able to get from Tottenham.
Spurs spend when they see the player is good strategically for them. There hasn't been huge hits recently, but for example Kulusevski seems to be a hit (40m€ though on loan). Reguillon 30m€, Lo Celso (close to 50m€), Ndombele (60m€) are few expensive buys from recent years. They will spend if they see the player fit and not too old. Dumfries fits to that strategy.
If we can replace Dumfries internally with Perisic we tackle three problems with all this.
1) Make money with player sale(s)
2) Starting RWB to replace Dumfries
3) Spread the quality of our LWB players elsewhere so starting caliber LWB won't sit on the bench (Perisic/Gosens)
