Palhinha isn’t the issue. He is a perfect number two to come in and provide experience and leadership. We need to replace Bissouma with a deep lying playmaker and have Palhinha as the back up. That fixes the 6/DM role.

No issue with that.
Well, Spurs finished below Fulham 2/2 of the last two seasons, and obviously are not as good as Bayern. Palhinha perhaps isn't good enough for our club in your eyes, but he was a starter for teams that were and are better than us right now.
Who is overrating him?
TFC posters love to run down our players.
My suggestion as if our head scout is reading this forum and wanted my input, is Stiller from Stuttgart.
Sign him
For me whether he stays or goes, cult hero!
Same for me, don't understand how Gray for so many more votes
Sign him up. The idea he's not got enough for us considering where we are at the moment is fucking laughable.
Does he get the assist as well as the goal?
I do the official "assistish" stats
and Tel gets it.I do the official "assistish" stats
He's gonna have to:
1. Grey
2. Berg
3. Bentancur
4. Biss
5. Sarr
6. Gallagher
With essentially only 2 CM spots and no Europe; if we are to get another very passing-focussed CM (7), then some serious churn has to happen.
Sarr & Biss are an easy pick, but in all honesty when you're looking at the kind of football we assume RDZ will want to play combined with the popular idea of keeping JP (8); Gallagher is a proper red-herring yet an extremely unlikely exit (considering the weight and length of his contract).
It's one hell of a jigsaw puzzle.
NEW / JP / Berg / Benta / Gallagher + Grey on loan?
Even that means we'd have to go fucking hard for the domestic cups to keep everyone interested.
Hayden Hackney is a must
I don't know what that means to half of these players but if you want improve the technical level of this midfield and have a pass first progile then he is a no brainer.
He is one of my favourite Sporting players ever. Followed him since he was signed up as a kid to play for the reserve squad. Instrumental in Sporting winning the first league title with Amorim, which was achieved based mostly on defensive consistency. A true fucking warrior. Slightly past his prime, but I really hope we keep him next season. Still has a role to play.
