Porro is a defensive liability. On a large club in another league (especially La Liga), he'd be a great player, because they don't need to defend like they do in the Prem. For me, he's actually looked a bit better defensively since Romero has been out (so maybe it's the the combination of the two on the right that's the disaster), but still not good enough. I think he'd be good to keep as a backup at the wing and wingback, but I can't imagine he'd accept that role. Vicario makes too many mistakes, and is a pushover in the box on set pieces. He plays like he's 5'6 and 7 stone. I think it's relatively well known that Forster is past his best, and he's been much better than Vicario. As for Son, he's done enough in his career for me to afford him some time to get himself together. It's not his first slump, but he's only 2 years removed from a Golden Boot season. Maybe he could be in the "But need(s) to do better" group, because he certainly hasn't been his usual self this season.

2 years on from a Golden Boot season is a long time.

Crucially, Son has lost pace.

Vic is exceptional in some areas, and yes needs to improve on crosses and set pieces, but there were some signs of improvement pre his injury. TBH there isn't a whole lot between him and Forster net, but obviously Vic is younger.

Agree that Porro further forward is an interesting idea.
 
I have four players who I like in equal measure.

Kulu, Solanke, Bentancur & Mickey.

I also have hope for Sarr.

There are several others who are OK but apart from the 5 above I wouldn't be bothered about any other player leaving the club.

I think that’s the whole point of the thread. It’s an ongoing, emerging continually changing almost ephemeral pick that is being asked for.

I’m all in on Fraser as my heart eyes emoji right now, but if he has a couple of stinkers and Dom bags a hatrick I’ll change to him.

I still love the two I mentioned but under these guidelines then count me in for Solanke...

Don't get how anyone favours Bentancur over Sarr if I'm honest. Sarr's contribution and behaviour have constantly exceeded that of Bentancur. I'm desperate to see Sarr in a midfield with some real class and discipline over Biss and Bent.

Guess that's the joy of opinions utter subjectivity he's not in my top three at the club. I'd not be shocked if we moved him on. The injury really set him back imho. Listening to Ange in today's presser on Sarr, it's clear what he thinks.

Sarr has a great engine and can create, score and stop goals being scored. Moves like Vieira which I find a bit unsettling but potentially a Spurs great going forward.

I love Bentancur because he knows what he is going to do with the ball before he receives it.

I rate him so highly I believe he should be captaining this team and leading them on the pitch.

I'm not sure Son really has lost pace. We used to see his pace on counters but with playing out from the back and being possession oriented you don't get to see Son's talents like you would have before. The few times Spurs get out and run he still looks dangerous.

Anyone else still on the Forster train with me? 4 or 5 MOTM performances when we really needed him to step up in the face of adversity.
Massive opportunity to show his real attributes again on Sunday. Come on BFF.
