Carlton Palmer ?
All based on tomorrows game I've heard. Winner gets Doue.
New signings after Solanke
We currently have the following 23 man squad - maximum allowable under UEFA rules :
GK -Vicario/Forster/Austin
RB - Porro/ Spence (also LB)
CB - Romero/Van De Venn/ Dragusin/Gray (also DM & RB)
LB - Udogie/Davies (also LCB)
CM1 - Bissouma/Skipp
CM2 - Bentancur/Sarr
CM3 - Maddison/Bergvall
RW - Kulusevski/Johnson
LW - Son/Werner(loan)
CF – Solanke/Richarlison
EL (under UEFA rules) - We could sign up to 2 other players (eg a winger and another player), BUT would have to drop 2 players from the squad (except Austin and Skipp who as CT players need to stay to maintain a 23 man squad), so we maintain a 23 man squad
As an example, drop Davies from EL squad, whose role as back up CB might need to be covered by Gray, whilst Spence is the LB cover.
PL - As Gray and Bergvall count as u21 players next season under PL rules , we can sign 2 other players without needing to drop any of the existing players,

This assumes Solomon, GLC and Reggie all gone, n’est-ce pas?
correct.
Or any other 3 players (except CT players) to get down to a 23 man squad, but imo those 3 you list are the ones who will go
27 in a few weeks.
Davies is shite and needs to go! How some still think he is good enough is beyond me.
Only on a loan with option to buy though I think
PSG, Bayern and ourselves plus maybe others still waiting
Glad you agree he's 26 now
Not sure what works that is a really good deal! It’s not like he has been banging in goals for fun in the PL. for years. He will be 27 next few weeks and only now he is the one. The one who fits Ange’s system, of course he didn’t last summer after Kane left or the previous one when we bought richi for £60!
So what’s your point? Have bought someone who is 26 or will be 27 in a few weeks! Either way he is not exactly young with potential. He has been around for a good few years and no one I mean no one has thought that solanke is a great player let’s spend £65M on him.
He's been at Spurs for 10 years and at least 4 or 5 managers who probably know more than you have kept him.
Not ideal as either LCB or LB for Ange but others who were worse have now gone and its likely Davies goes at end of his contract in 2025. I doubt we'd get much of a fee now for him - but his replacement might cost £25m - £35m so he's not a priority to move on right now versus other opportunities .
What’s the 20% got to do with it that is bournmouths problem not ours. £35M or £65M thru would still have to pay it. We have actually given dippers some nice funds.
Why bother posting 'he'll be 27' after I post he's 26 ?
My word is that sarcasm!
