CAN A TRADE DEAL REALLY BE NEGOTIATED IN TWO YEARS?

A former EU ambassador to the WTO has suggested a trade deal could be negotiated between the EU and the UK in two years (HERE) but mainly on the basis that the EU will offer no concessions whatsoever on the freedom of movement and after that there will be a need to act quickly to avoid protracted negotiations that aren't in anybody's interest.  Others take a more pessimistic view and think five years at least.
