I'm just basing this on what Conte himself said, that if any more players leave then we would need to replace them. It might just open the door for Malinovskyi, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I think we would only let him go if we’d secured a replacement
Think if he has the legs, Casemiro might well elevate Fred’s game hugely. Always thought he was good, just a complete misfit (needs to be that runner, pressing and release). Plus the Brazilian connection.
Anyway, they will be too broken to challenge us this season, so who cares really.
This thread has turned to shit now.
Talking about man utd and casemiro.
PEH going to RM.
Can we have an update on what our squad looks like now that some players have gone on loan. Are we still unable to register another foreign player.

Spense, Perisic, Sess, Doherty and Moura as an emergency. If not there then i dont see where on the pitch would be any better. Hopefully it wont come to that because not great leaving anyone out for squad harmony. It does underline the fact we really need to start buying some good honegrown players though. We cant keep treading this tightrope every window
Genuinely makes me really sad to think the player he was and how that talent has been wasted.
I wonder what a 'paper hearing' is??
Selective perception. He is probably melancholy as well, being given a year in Turkey on £5m odd to try to recapture some form and drive… gutted for him!
All the vitamin D, he has a shot, naaa he really won’t!
when not even barrow town are interested we are stuck with him forever
If we sell PEH, we can probably buy Sissoko back on the cheap.
Presumably they just give a written explanation of their behaviour rather than doing it in person.
Woodgate was a classy defender who’s career was ruined by injuries. PEH is a good player but I would be amazed if RM where in for him, I’m not convinced he is good enough for our midfield TBH
Eh? .........He's only just turned 27!

Core Squad at Present :
GK - Lloris, Forster, Austin
RCB - Romero, Sanchez
CCB - Dier, Tanganga
LCB – Davies Lenglet
RWB - Spence , Doherty, Royal
LWB – Persic , Sessegnon,
CM1 - Bissouma, Bentancur.
CM2 - Skipp, Hojbjerg,
RM - Kulusevski, Moura
Striker – Kane, Richarlison
LM - Son
Total 23
Player Designation (based upon the UEFA definitions):
Club Trained – Kane, Skipp, Tanganga, Austin (Total 4)
Trained at other clubs affiliated with The FA : Sessegnon, Forster, Spence (Total 3)
Total 7 ‘Locally Trained’ - minimum 8 Locally trained Players
Overseas Trained Players : Lloris, Romero, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Kulusevski, Son, Moura, Royal, Doherty, Perisic, Bissouma, Richarlison, Lenglet (loan) - Total 16 - (maximum 17 players)
Excluded from Core squad :
- Reguilon and Winks
- Gil and Sarr
Conclusion :
With 7 'locally trained players' (see Player Designation above), and 17 overseas trained players Spurs can have a 24 man squad.
That means we can have the 23 man Core squad above plus Gil or Sarr as our 24 man squad - logically keeping Gil to be our 6th forward and retain the idea of having 2 players per position (but with 3 GJ's and 3 RWB's) and loaning out Sarr.
If we have any overseas trained players join, we must loan out or sell one or more overseas trained players - the obvious candidates possibly being Gil or Sarr.
The 23 man squad includes Tanganga as our 6th CB to retain the 2 players for each playing position
We could keep Winks as our 9th locally trained player to get a 25 man squad - more likely he will be loaned out or sold.
If Reguilon is not loaned out or sold we have no space in the squad without selling or loaning out another of the Overseas trained players (including Gil and Sarr)
The above assumes we retain 3 RWB's in Spence, Royal and Doherty as that appears to be where we are.
Harvey White and other academy players can be played as u21 players in addition to the 24 man squad.
I hope this answers the question about signing another overseas trained player - we can if we leave out Gil and Sarr for example

Yes, I know it's not transfer related...

The majority of what you're alluding to can be explained in one simple phrase.
Homegrown costs money.........
....It has very little to do with over-rating English player on the basis of their talent.
