You make a good point but the options to rid ourselves of our deadwood are vanishingly small. I'd rather be 'light' for 6 months than suffer the same nonsense come January.

I'd rather give Skipp support and game time than waste one pound on Chelsea loving Conner Gallagher.
How is he a scapegoat? He's a bench player, no-one is going to blame him for poor results cause he barely plays. People just recognise that he's not top six quality.
Not sure Forster can change his number now though.
Winks, Tanganga, Parot, Skipp, all of them. They're treated like they have a divine right to start games for Spurs, when most belong in the lower leagues.
I agree. If we can shift someone that we deem surplus then do it otherwise round and round we go. Rather use our youth as cover than some of the duds we play in cup competitions.
Did you see the match thread mid week against Fulham? Plenty of criticism of Skippy, who did have a stinker.
We need bench players who can step up and limit the drop off in quality, the cup showed there's a gulf vs the 1st XI. It is a really tough problem to solve as players you bring in want assurances they'll start.
I'm not calling him a scapegoat.
I'm saying fans will accuse fans like me who don't think he's good enough of making him a scapegoat.
I think some fans are finally seeing it too.
But Gallagher is top six quality? Yeah...right.
Great we are going to get fucked and be a CM short. I have no doubt this will happen.
Fucked.
Better than what we have and home grown
For rotation, yeah. He's doing well for Chelsea now.
Have to trust Ange on this one, no doubt the lad is a decent player but given the wide options we already have he seems an odd "number one target"
The thing with this is, we’d better be damn sure Gallagher deal is ready to go. I can totally see Chelsea fucking us on this and pulling the rug at the last second and then we have zero midfield depth.
I guess we could/should line this up, then line the Gallagher deal up…and not pull the trigger til both are ready to go…
He's not any better he's just new and shiny. We are just stockpiling the same problems it's ridiculous. Buy quality not tommorows Dier like Gallagher and Kelly ffs
