But as Christopher says they'd be mad to not take up the option.

Think as rubbish as our CBs have been the FBs or rather WBs we have, means we are best learning to play the 3-5-2

It seems as though a few on here always seem to think the grass is always greener, eg players not in the first 11 are better than the ones starting. Sometimes this can be the case but rarely it is.
Toby is our best defender by far and should play every game till the season finale.
Dier unfortunately showed potential when first signed but now believes his own hype.
Sanchez needs selling to a low level French side.
Rodon has showed me anything yet to suggest he will make it in the prem and seems very limited.
Tanganga isn’t an out and out CB. He could play wide in a back 3 or full back but not at a high enough standard.
Foyth could do a job but again, more suited to a back 3.
Davies is awful.
Reggie is a forward thinking full back and not overalls convince defensively (like most modern FB’s)
Doherty is a decent wing back, but we don’t play with wing backs.
Serge is ok, similar to reggie but is prone to a mistake or two. I saw someone slate Serge’s performance against Leeds, that is totally unfair and shows lack of knowledge and understanding of tactics. Both our FB’s struggled due to how the team was set and the personnel used, Bale doesn’t track back these day and neither does Sonny (who seems like he’s on his holidays now), add Dele to that, who didn’t drop in to help the two holding, who were getting overrun and couldn’t help out, leaving of FB’s overloaded

Don’t mess with Tobys long balls, we’ve scored a fair few goals due to them

At White Hart Lane he knew exactly what to aim for and nailed them consistently

Agreed but lately they are 20% accurate at best

Modern game needs players that can win their one on one's in defence...neither Dier, Sanchez win their one on one's. Alderweireld can be sub. Nothing more.

How many games have we seen Tanganga play as a CB in a two?

I would prefer a completely new back four.
Clean sweep.
But............Levy will have other headaches........
the manager for one...
and Harry Kane for another.....
maybe H-M Son too!
So my prediction is that this club is going to be mid-table until ENIC sells out.

It shows what a poor judge of a player Mourinho is, when our best RB is out on loan at Villarreal. He also came in and immediately made Dier his #1 central defender, he even tried to sign Dier when he was at United, but Dier`s performances this season have proved what an ill judge Mourinho is.
