I'm not sure. Players change but the psyche of the club stays the same. Who are the constant? It is us the fans. Look how well the team have done without us in the stadium. Maybe it is our mindset (you only have to read this thread to see how negative 90% of posters are) that needs to improve?

Most fans went in with a positive mindset into the CL final - I certainly did as cup games have little relation to form. And the FA Cup semi vs Utd when Vorm took a shit. And the FA Cup semi vs Chelsea when we played Son at LB. And Colchester, etc.

Winks would be a good HG alternate for Gundogan in their midfield.

People think less of him because he's spent the last two years playing in a team with Sissoko and no fullbacks, but he can be a very good player.

He's a terribly average player and major contributor to our current position in the league table

Sooner he stops playing and is replaced with quality = sooner we can move up again

Get rid

This comes out the same day they announce the signing of a 32 year old Chelsea reject on a 3 year deal worth over 200k a week? :dembele::walker:

I read somewhere that deal was costing them 35m over three years. I'd love to think that us competing for his signature helped push that figure to that ludicrous level. Hilarious if it did. I always liked Willian, talented, reasonably bright and hard working player but 35 fucking million at his age, on top of whatever the Luiz deal has cost them is bananas.
 
Worth a quick reminder of the UEFA squad rules :

1. Overseas trained players - Maximum 17

2 Club Trained Players - Minimum 4
(Player who has spent a minimum of 3 years at Spurs before the age of 18)

3 Players trained by other clubs affiliated to The Football Association - Maximim 4

4. Under 21 (List B players) - Unlimited
Player must have spent at least 2 years at the club from age 15 as well as being u21.

Club Trained Players in Spurs First team squad
Kane, Winks, Rose (3)

Players trained by other clubs affiliated to The Football Association
Dele, Sessegnon (2)

Overseas Trained Players
Lloris, Gazzaniga, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Dier, Foyth, Aurier, Davies, Ndombele, Sissoko, Gedson (loan), Hojbjerg, Son, Moura, Lamela. Lo Celso, Bergwijn (17 - the maximum).
(NB. Under PL rules Davies counts as HG)

Given the number of matches Spurs may play next season (maybe 60), it is apparant that we cannot only use the 17 'Overseas Trained Players' , we need to use players from the other categories - but note it requires 3 years at Spurs to get the 'Club Trained' player status and with Rose likely to leave within next 12 months (if not this summer), I'm pleased to see the likes of Tanganga, Cirkin and White likely to be involved next season with Parrott and Skipp out on loan - good long term planning.

Also worth knowing contract termination dates - anyone on under 2 years left Spurs will want an extended contract signed (otherwise at one year left on contract the player's value drops) or player will be leaving :

2021 Rose (and Gedson loan ends)
2022 Lloris, Gazzaniga, Aurier, Foyth, Lamela Austin, Whiteman
2023 Alderweireld Son Sissoko, Clarke, Parrott, White, Bowden
2024 Kane, Dele, Winks, Sanchez Moura, Davies, Skipp, Dier, Tanganga
2025 Ndombele, Lo Celso, Sessegnon, Bergwijn, Hojbjerg
