Sevilla signed 15 players in one summer, 2019, and got rid of almost as much
Why isn't it possible for us to get rid of at least 10 players in one window? I'd like to believe we can do it
It is possible. Bale and Vinicius wont be renewed, Rose out of contract and probably Gazzaniga this or next window. Last year of contract Aurier and Lamela, they have to go for whatever we can get. I'd add Sanchez, Sissoko and Moura but thats where it gets tricky as Levy will want his pound of flesh which no one will give due to covid/no fans.

There is a global pandemic and no normal club has any money. You can't just get rid of 10 players by clicking your fingers. We have been trying for years to sell players like Rose and he is still here.
It was hard enough to sell our lesser players before the pandemic, now it's almost impossible. Players like Ozil and others are having to terminate their contracts to get out, we cannot afford to pay players to leave. Who is going to buy Davinson? Who is going to buy Lucas? Who is going to buy Aurier?
And that is Levy's biggest problem, demanding unrealistic money for our unwanted players, it took him 3 fucking years to offload Nkoudou and Janssen
Milan and Leverkusen were willing to pay 15m for Aurier last summer, Levy wanted 25, Barcelona were willing to play 35m for Lucas in summer 2019, Levy wanted 45m
The problem is Levy demanding silly money
I don't disagree but the past is the past. We live in the here and now and nobody is going to give us hard cash for our squad players.
Lets be realistic, most of our squad/unwanted players have very low valuations
Sissoko is worth no more than 5m, Lamela 8-10m, Lucas 10-12m, Dele 20m, Aurier 10m, Dier and Davies 15m, Winks 20m, Sanchez 15-18m,
Levy would demand 2x to 3x of those valuations
Let's see in a few years shall we?
You cannot say he's worth the hype as he's at a rich as fuck club and hasn't actually won anything. Yet.
I don't care about on paper. Most of those players are fucking useless. Everyone in bold needs to go and some of those not in bold need to work to stay,
It doesn't matter if we have prime Kane and Son - almost every one behind them is cack. I can't actually stomach seeing some of them anymore.
Wtf is this. Have we given up and thrown in the towell for January then?
What towell, we ain't even got one of them
Of course we have. We'd given up before the window started.
We have an over blown squad with a lot of average players that nobody wants to buy. Covid not helping either.
We have serious HG issues, so we need to buy "British", whist at the same time keeping our HG players.
No doubt this is all Levy's fault
20 m for winks who would pay that
Some will be very good at tracking back.
We'd be lucky to sell 2 or 3 of those players. No chance of any 'clearout' this summer it doesn't work like that.
Players have to want to leave, the clubs have to agree a fee, agents have to be paid, salaries and bonuses negotiated, image rights, commercial fees etc. It's a lot harder selling players than people believe at any club and especially Spurs as Levy is notoriously difficult to deal with.
I'd love to see this clearout and rebuild work happen in 1 summer but it won't.
You make me want to get a hair transplant so that I can tear it out when reading this.
I've barely got two to rub together,
