Last year of Hugo's contract. Don't think we'll get much if we sell him but even if its £10m not sure we can turn our nose up at that after no fans for 12 months.

Ok let's say we get £10m
Then we spend £30m on Nick Pope
That's £20m net spend.
I'd rather spend that £20m putting it towards a better CB if you get my idea.
Need for CB > Need for a new GK
I say it is even stevens. A good goalkeeper can nullify the deficiencies in the defence. Just as a good defence can cover a goalkeeper's deficiencies.
Probably rules us out next season then! :mourfacepalm:
But Hugo Lloris isn't really the problem
If we had Man City's backline Lloris wouldn't concede anything.
As I've said on the Lloris thread people are starting to brand him as the issue when in reality he had 1 or 2 bad games and now people are nit picking on everything he does.
That CB pairing is the biggest issue its so clear for me.
We fix that and we improve so much
- We can play higher up the pitch as Jose trusts the CB
- We won't keep making mistakes and hence less goals conceded.
I know what you mean but if he doesn't sign a new contract we'll sell him for what we can get. Its why we'll also finally see Aurier and Lamela leave as well. The painful rebuild starts here, 3 years after we should have started it.
I reckon he might sign a 1yr exetension , at least that's what makes sense for all parties
Yeah Lamela and Aurier out would make sense.
In particular Aurier , I just want a quality RB ahead of next season
Here's just a very vague plan of what we could do in the summer regardless of who is the manager.
Disclaimer : its unlikely as it involves shfiting and signing quite a few players , something Levy probably isn't capable of .
Outs :
Gazzaniga (£ A couple of million?)
Cameron Carter Vickers (£1m?)
Juan Foyth (£15m?)
Davinson Sanchez (£20m?)
Danny Rose (Nothing)
Serge Aurier (£10-15m?)
Moussa Sissoko (£10m?)
Harry Winks (£20m?)
Dele (Idk but he'd be the most valuable asset)
Maybe Moura or Lamela but if Bale doesn't come back then we have very little depth in the forward departments
Vinicius (probably just goes back to Benfica)
Ins :
New Young GK?
New RB (£25m ?)
New CB (idk)
New CB (idk)
Sabitzer (£25m?)
New winger if Moura and Lamela goes (£25m?)
New Backup ST (£25m?)
+ Bring back the likes of Skipp , Sess into the first team
I know it would require a big net spend but given that the COVID situation looks much better , Spurs' revenue should be getting much better when the Summer window opens

I agree, although if we can get a top keeper this year, I'd go for it.
Rather that than be scrabbling around trying to find one next year.
Pope is going to be 29 in April, thats is too much for his age and his level of quality. Henderson is worth Pope+£20m imo.
Also that much money is better spent on a quality playmaker or CB. We dont have the luxury of spending that much money on a GK when there are more glaring needs elsewhere.
My preference remains Ramsdale, who I expect would be available for less than £10m in the summer.
Ramsdale has been dodgy in most games I've seen him this season. Might be room for him to improve but no way I'd have him as our starting keeper.
There are better GKs but they are also more expensive. We are not going to have a huge budget and have bigger need, so we need to find the best value for money.
We also need to be buying much younger than Pope. We can't afford to be shopping for GKs that often with Levy in charge.

Would love the player but seems like he would cost way too much for Levy.
Players who will/may leave :
Lloris - one year left on contract. We either get a fee now or none in 12 months time if he will not sign a one year extension.
Gazanigga - Not good enough, a small fee hopefully
Rose - End of Contract.
Foyth - 23 year old not good enough per Poch and JM in any position. Contract until 2022. Hopefully a fee
Doherty - Unless something changes he's not lived up to his Wolves form, and just poor
Aurier - one year left on contract and a bad mistake every few matches. Can we afford 2 RB's, probably not. Can we find a youngster to step up, ?
Sanchez - Aged 24 but always a mistake in him in PL. Move on as potential for big fee.
(Not able to afford a 2nd CB so keep Dier)
Sissoko - Not good enough, does not contribute enough to defence or attack, a reason why our central midfield is not as effective as it should be.
Lamela - One year left on contract and injured/not available for 70% of matches over last 7 years, so time for a change. Cannot afford 2 AM's do keep for one more year
And loan for striker Vinicius comes to an end, not worth paying the release fee.
I'd keep Winks as my 6th CM but lots of rumours he wants to go to Spain where his skills are more suited.
In :
1 GK - probably. All depends on Lloris
2 CB - Want a top CB to replace Sanchez, not easy to find. But we still have Alderweireld, Dier, Rodon, Tanganga, (unless Tanganga is RB) and possibly Davies if Sessegnon is back up LB
3 RB - Aurier replacement, plus Tanganga as back up. Outside chance of Lavinier and/or Eyoma as back up
4 CM - A good CM to replace Sissoko to add something to both defence and attack, Sabitzer is ideal. Add Skipp and we are good to go in CM .....provided Lo Celso stays healthy
5 AM - Replacement for Lamela. I think Bale still more than likely to leave, leaving Son, Bergwijn, Moura + new AM for 4 positions
6 Striker back up. Gulp
6 players in is at the upper end of my expectations of what is possible taking into account finances to buy players and the difficulties in off loading the players above who maybe on higher wages than their new clubs will pay (= Spurs subsidise wages, low fees received).
Especially as imo we are better off buying quality players (even if special situations where they are cheap) as we already have good numbers in the squad so the strategy has to be to upgrade the quality of players we have,
