Mourinho let go of Eriksen, Rose, Wanyama, KWP , Vertonghen, Foyth, , Gazzaniga - these were all prominent squad players under Poch.

Sent Clarke & Sess out on loan in his first window.

He extended Dier and Alderweireld.

Nuno let go of Aurier, Alderweireld, Lamela, Sissoko Joe Hart.

Conte let Go of Dele and sent Gil, Lo Celso & N’Dombele away in the same window!

Then he got rid of Bergwijn, Winks, plus Doherty and Reguilon on loan(both Mourinho signings)

When Ange arrived, Lloris and Lucas were already leaving, so the Poch boys left were Kane (who Spurs fans can’t let go of), Dier, Sanchez and Davies. Only Davies remains.

A lot of the deadwood Ange is getting rid of are players we acquired after Poch left. 19-23 are wasted years to me.

An entire leadership group left in less than a year under Ange. We aren’t talking squad players, we are talking Kane, Hojberg, Dier, Skipp and others that the club would have seen as part of the permanent furniture. Plus others that are still to go like GlC and Reguillon
 
6: Biss, Bentancur
8: Sarr, Gray, Devine
10: Maddison, Kulu, Bergvall

I still don't really get this apparent need for a Ramsey or Gomes type.
We've got enough 8's as it is.
I think we'd need to move on one of Biss or Bentancur for adding another CM to make sense but we haven't been seriously linked with any 6's.


Think Ange want someone in the 8 role who presses and wins the ball better. Sarr is the only player that does that well in our midfield .
Gary and Bentancur are more suited to the 6 role imo

There was some report a few days back that Devine's going out on loan., And I don't think Gray will have a fixed role in the squad this season. Think he'll play some games at right back, some games in the 8, maybe some in the 6. Just to get him a hefty amount of minutes as he's still a young boy.

From that perspective, with the amount of games we hope to play this season. I think we'd be thin without another quality option there.

However, if your opinion is that a backup keeper, or another left footed defender should be of higher concern.. Then I can't necessarily say you're wrong.
 
Skipp leaving will mean another midfield addition and I suspect it'll be one with experience. Ange brought Mooy in his second season at Celtic and he had a big impact. Unfortunately both Mooy and Kroos are retired, so we'll probably have to settle for Valverde though.
 
What good is an ITK that drops hints AFTER the deal already goes public, outside of feeding his own sense of self-importance?
What context was that message anyway?

could have been "any interest for our deadwood players"

"skipp"

"leicester"


which we all knew there was interest months back.


He's becoming desperate now because most have caught on to the act. Imagine an 'ITK' from spurscommunty posted exactly that haha
