Also, how in the fuck is all of this going to work with the homegrown rules?
Selling Tripps and Rose would leave us a grand total of three homegrown senior players.

Am feeling a little uneasy about seeing a first team regular being sold, without any indication of incoming replacements. Bad season or not, he played a lot of games.
I do have faith in the club that there is a plan of action, however transfers (Tanguy aside) have not been a strong point and my bums a bit squeaky.
Anyone wish to soothe my hole?

....Anyone even think of any other HG players that may be on our radar, regardless of position?
I am not sure what our transfer plans are at the moment, I think it's great we got early business done with Ndombele but I have to say I am getting a little nervous seeing all the names we are apparently going to sell.
We have so many players sitting on our books which offer us nothing that could be sold and the money reinvested, instead we seem to be looking to sell first team players which is concerning to me.
Our issue in recent seasons has been lack of competition for places and poor depth, our first 11 has not been the issue, surely we should be building on what we already have or if we plan on replacing at the very least get the replacements signed first BEFORE we sell that way we don't risk leaving ourselves short.
I dunno, it's times like the Burnley game last season and even the CL final where we lacked impact players from the bench, I don't think we can afford to let our best players go without knowing for sure whatever replacements we bring in will be of equal quality because if they aren't then what can we turn to? Especially if our bench quality is as lacking as last season.
Think we wait until end of window to make a judgement on his successful or otherwise the window has been.
Must say I am curious on that front....
Aarons & Sessengon x 2 (+ the boy Clarke next year) is all I can muster.

Remember as well Poch has been on record a few times as wanting a smaller squad to work with. Which of course can be aid to lack depth, options of the bench etc - but that is Pochs choice.
Both Clarke and Sessegnon are under 21 and don't need to be put in "the squad" for another 2 seasons.
Aarons is not ever likely to play for Spurs IMO.
HG/non HG is not an issue.
By the end of this week Daryl Janmaat is better than Kimmich.Fellaini better than Pogba
Foyth better than DeLigt

Too true. Stupid system.Not exactly. Trump got fewer overall votes than Hillary, but the Electoral College system got him in.
Fellaini better than Pogba
Foyth better than DeLigt

If people would just agree, we’d all be able to move on.
