Spot on. We lurch from regressive, defensive managers to entertainers and back again. Sometimes a DOF, sometimes not. Appoint decent people like Paul Mitchell and Trevor Birch to see them leave within a few months. Our whole backroom structure is like our transfer policy, see who is available and cheap. There is no plan or identity at the club and it shows in the team

So many need to go
This squad needs a complete refresh.
Too many have come close to success and then not got it. Heads dropped too easily.
Some of that core is still good quality and should be kept : Lloris , Kane , Son and Toby have been here ages but still remain quality most of the time.
However, the list of those that I'd say we need to sell follows as :
Gazzaniga , Foyth , Carter-Vickers , Dier , Sanchez , Doherty , Aurier , Sissoko , Winks , Lamela , Dele
That's a minimum .
Vinicius also needs to be returned too.
I'm also worried about Lo Celso , might be time to move on from him given how crap he's been recently.

No point in Selling Kane for example
a) The whole 'he doesn't deserve this argument' don't cut it with me. Today he didn't play like someone who was world class. Gotta show up in the finals for that argument to be valid.
b) We cannot replace him. No good replacing our best player .
We need to keep our best players. Sell the deadwood and re-invest.
- CB/RB/Creative Mid/ST needed in the summer + Some of our youth to be part of the squad.
Absolutely must sell:
Sissoko, Sanchez, Aurier, Doherty
Hang about for another year/loan out:
Dele, Winks
Aurier needs to go because he's a dumb cunt. Doherty is just shit. But we wont sell both so probably sell Aurier (as we could likely get a few quid) and spend to upgrade there. Doherty/Tanganga as shit cover for one more season
Sissoko and Sanchez being sold makes us stronger even without replacements. Just get rid.
Dele should go on loan and shave off that stupid tash to see if he can find form so we can sell him for more next summer. Same with Winks though he wouldn't be a bad 5th choice option if he fancied it.
These guys cannot be playing for Spurs for yet another season.
Get rid of them all and get a good RB, CM and CB.
Just sign 3 compentent players for fucks sake how hard is it Hitchens you coward.

It really scares me how we are rarely ever linked with RB'S. Seriously we need a new RB.
Also Dele has to go. Came on today and the ball just bounced off him. Ever since he got that stupid tash he has both looked and played shit. He needs to move on. Winks can go too.
Dele is soooooo bad. Don't remember seeing such a sharp decline.
He's gone from one of the best prospects in the world linked with 100m moves to Madrid to being a Brighton/Fulham level player.
Forget Brighton/Fulham
He'd struggle in the championship currently.
Piss poor.
Yeah I'm being generous tbh
I've said this before, the cycle of the current squad is done. We need to start another cycle with a long term vision (5 years) with youngsters and a young manager. Financially, we can pull it off by selling Kane and Son. Sad but it is what it is.
Eh, not sure if this is really fair. Hoddle, Santini, Jol, Ramos, AVB and Poch are all sort of variations and evolution on a theme, not necessarily entertainers, but considered tactically astute purveyors of progressive, then-modern football, and all people in the prime of their careers with the intention of setting out on a project as part of a broader structure at the club.
And then there's Arry and Mou, big names reached out for in midseason desperation to right the ship.
Levy will go back to the well of a "project" if form holds. ten Hag is straight out of central casting.
What scares me are the links to Aaron's of Norwich when he's not even the best right back in the Championship, Nyambe of Blackburn who will have a year left on his contract in the summer is
If we got Ten Hag in as manager and he smuggles a few of the Ajax boys in his luggage, we might stand half a chance.
Variations on a theme? These managers views on how the game should be played and the players required to do it are polar opposities. Hoddle to Santini, Redknapp to AVB, Poch to Mourinho. There is no logic or identity there and its why we seem to constantly need 6 or 7 new players when a new manager shows up to suit their style of play, that and terrible recruitment.
This made me laugh it’s ‘’penny wise pound foolish’’ examples. Just made me think of Levy. All the times we bought a cheaper player like Njie or Nkoudou only to have to actually buy a decent player later on and spend more.
Everything driven by saving the pennies without looking at the bigger picture.

I don't think that we need to sell both in one go. But at this point we need to accept the rebuild and start shifting heavy hitters and putting trust in new blood.
Never seen him play but at 18 if we get him in he can count as HG in a few years
He has to be in before his 18th birthday sadly I believe.
we need a total rebuild of the squad and hopefully we are ruthless about it.
Aurier
Doherty
Sanchez
Dier
Davies
Winks
Sissoko
Lamela
Dele
Could get us around 140m if we are lucky. Probably Lloris will be sold as well and unfortunately Kane will probably be gone. Maybe another 150m for those 2 at best.
If all that happens we would need:
1 x Goalkeeper
2 x Rb's
2 x CB's
1 x CM
1 x Attacking Midfielder
2 x ST
Sess replaces Davies , Skipp replaces Winks and Clarke replaces Bale/lamela.
