Quite the opposite.
Spurs know they need 25 or so players to compete in Europe as well as PL which is why Skipp (a CT player) has been kept on for last couple of years even though he's been a fringe player.
For the first time in a few years we have a few players coming through the youth system who look good enough to play a little this season (Lankshear, Moore likely Devine and even players like Abbott who played in pre-season) so Spurs can now afford to sell Skipp, and give his minutes to youngsters to help their development such that in a year or three those youngsters will be aged 21, decent players and fully Club trained.
So Skipp's sale is all part of a calculated move to ensure Spurs does get more Club Trained players in the near term future and hence be able to have a squad size of close to 25 under uefa rules. Without getting to that sort of size of squad of experienced players over the age of 21, the chances of winning EL or CL are remote. With more Club trained players we have a much better chance
Can't believe any player would still go there. History's worst club.

We don't need any more wide players.
Left centreback and left back…..ideal. Need to give more time to Radu as well.
I know American football teams has squads of 50+ , Todd needs to catch up he’s an idiot
We can’t leave out Davies (a defender) for a new mid. That will unbalance the squad. More likely to be Richie or Werner. Richie, Moore and Odobert can cover Werner backup spot at a stretch. Kulu, Son and Lankshear can cover Richie backup spot. My bet would be Richie
Davies may be loyal but his pants. Keeping players like him for longer than necessary is why we are where we are. City jettison so many players Alvarez , Sterling etc for good money.
Mateta didn’t play I think?
Not happening. Some rando wannabe got retweeted by everyone desperate for a clutch and then it was poo-pooed with some fact or other (can't remember as I never particularly cared).
He started
I find it incredible to believe that a successful businessman such as Boehly would see what he is doing as a blueprint for any successful business.
It has to be an unsustainable business model, that even Abramovich wouldn't consider viable.
What about his pants?
Is it Y Fronts or speedo's that you are worried about?
The burning question is can we get this bad boy to 2000 pages before the window closes?
I actually believe that we could have made an approach for him, but there’s no chance Wolves let him go for a reasonable fee after selling Neto. Unless Levy has been snorting coke all weekend and wants to just push the warchest all in, I doubt we’re going to afford him.
I agree. Even if Gray is ready, we still need DM depth. It's not as if there are no question marks over Bissouma and Bentancur either.
Would love to see Bergvall develop into a DM long term though. I think he has the skillset.
But for season 24/25 we are vulnerable there.
Back in the 60s teams played the W formation…..never heard of the Y formation
