Its a toughie, but given covid cash will be tight.
I'd like to see 'quality' upgrades on players given we have a full squad, so would prefer to see 4 or more quality upgrades rather than 6 'ok' signings - reason being of course is to avoid wanting to replace some of these players the following summer, although sadly it will happen (eg possibly Doherty).
And to bring quality in I suspect 4 - 6 new players is the max - but Skipp, Sessegnon and any other youth are fantastic extra squad players to boost numbers.
After Spurs youth thrashed Chelsea 6 - 1 , think its preferable to trust Spurs youth
No chance getting him.
However, I agree with you that this kid is a proper talent and has shown he’s able to cope with the demands of our league while at his very young age.
It's past time for a clear out and it should be significantly more than 'a bit'. It should be 'painful' and with no sacred cows...including the manager.
Trust me on this the club are NOT interested at all in this particular player. Can't you see that it is precisely because the fury it invites that its not being genuinely generated. It is external manipulation click bait crap. I worry how susceptible folk are to this its the damaging story of the world over the last five years. Put it this way without breaking any confidences the club hierarchy are fully aware how the fan base feel and its shared by board members.
Be still my soul, and listen to those Tibetan Singing Bowls.
But what's that, you say? If the interest in Rudiger is not real, then rest assured we will have our wonky eyes on equally uninspiring targets like your Zoumas and your Diops. A solution for every problem.
...then we need to spend more
Not happy with Sabitzer Belotti Torres Milenkovic in?
That's part of the implication.
Why do people think other clubs want our rejects and are willing to give up every player we want?
Who would you bring in instead?
CB's don't play as intensely as most other positions, so we don't need 6, we'd hardly play them. enough.
Better to have either 4 or 5 CB's and have an extra AM/CM ideally one who can contribute goals - and ideally younger than the age of 4 you have ( Bale 31 and Kane/Son aged 28 and Belotti around 29) so we start to have the beginnings of a 'succession plan' and better rotation possibilities,
Isn't Torres super slow? That back 3 could have trouble with Toby being the "speedy" one of the bunch.
Vazquez is also pretty terrible is he not?
I like getting rid of a lot of guys but hopefully we can do better bringing guys in. Need players comfortable on the ball, even at CB ideally.
Not sure why you dislike Spurs youth thrashing Chelsea and your poster boy
Yeah Vazquez at RWB was just an idea I was putting out there because someone suggested him on another thread.
In reality I'd prefer giving Aurier a 2 year contract extension till 2024 to Vazquez.
Also, what makes you think Torres is super slow? He is meant to be good on the ball from what I've read btw
Yeah I agree, I was just experimenting to see what a possible 5atb solution could look like.
Like the way that you have replaced both most of the 'weakest players' ( as fans perceive them) as well as those with only one year left on contract - so exits for Moura, Lamela, Vinicius (loan not renewed), Sissoko, Winks, Aurier and Lloris.
But as I say, moving on 3 forwards (Vinicius, Lamela and Moura) with one (Belotti) leaves us short.
I thought I read somewhere that he is pretty slow or flat footed. Could be wrong I have not seen him play much. I like that he plays on the left but then remember reading a few concerning things about him that moved me away from him but can't remember where now.
I don't love the 3 at the back idea so would prefer just getting a real RB. I am not as down on Aarons as many so he makes way too much sense to me. Keep one of Aurier or Doherty depending on what we can get for each, or ditch both if we can get good deals for both, to be the back-up.
