I’m watching this Serbia Portugal game, Milenkovic got done twice from a header from Diogo Jota. He doesn’t fill me with confidence, looks like another dier there- can’t judge the flight of the ball.
Players with 1yr left on their contract.
Lots of good players out there :
Pogba , Varane , Mbappe , Dybala , Neymar , Ansu Fati , Pedri (ok these are all unrealistic but they are part of that group nonetheless)
Eduardo Camavinga
Ousmane Dembele
Franck Kessie
Lorenzo Insigne
Marcel Sabitzer
Marcelo Brozovic
Andrea Belotti
Denis Zakaria
Niklas Sule
John Stones
Andre Onana
Nikola Milenkovic
Danny Ings
Boubakary Soumare
Antonio Rudiger
Isco
Emil Forsberg
Mike Maignan
David Brooks
Mohamed Ihattaren
Lorenzo Pellegrini
Matthias Ginter
Robin Gosens
Boubacar Kamara
I'd take so many in fact probably all of those players at our club.

Contracts expiring
This overview shows all players whose contracts expire in the upcoming summer, sorted by their current market value.
I agree of all the CB's linked he's the one i don't want.
He's ok but he's not what will improve us in my opinion.
Trust the youth players.
Some of these players we are linked with are worse than what we have now.
Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if our squad for next season is worse than what it is now. There's a scary thought.....
Instead of padding out the squad with mediocre players, I would rather we spent whatever funds we raise on proven players, even if that means we can only bring in one or two players.
We are going to end up in a similar position in 4/5 years time as we are now if we buy mediocre players and they will just be stealing a wage and we will be unable to shift them.

I think we need two new CB's and I wouldn't mind him as one of them. Premier League proven and definitely an improvement in relation to Sanchez and Dier.
We really need to address the back line before bringing in Dybala.fogueres
What is likely price for Dybala? Would he be worth it?
Why would we bring in Dybala at all - two injury prone argentines not enough?
My fear is that he's the only 1 though.
I could compromise on what in my mind is a lower-tier CB if we buy in another one.
Really poor. Still 23, but if Dier was caught out twice in a game like that he'd get some abuse.
Vestergaard is good imo, struggled with the PL initially but he's been very good defensively this year, a big goal threat and good with the ball. Honestly think Bednarek and Stephens are a bit hopeless so maybe he'd be even better beside Rodon or Sanchez? 28 though, wouldn't be top of my list but I'd not be unhappy if the club moved for him.
I agree. We need another central midfielder and probably two centre backs. A club such as ours should be able to get those players in without scraping the barrel or bringing utter shite in. Obviously that will be what we do, by spending the bare minimum when just a few more quid would bare fruit later in the season. Happens ever summer. A leopard doesn't change his spots.
I said earlier in the thread I think, we should go all out to sign Ings seeing as he's out of contract. He guarantees goals and would also allow Kane to play a bit deeper which he seems to love. Him and Andersen who's at Fulham makes perfect sense and wouldn't cost insane amounts of money. That would be a solid start for what we need.
Would Ings want to come though? I'm not so sure. Leaving his boyhood club for us right now seems more of a sidestep at best.

There will be bargains out there, so if top players are available, we should be taking advantage now. Exploit the buyers' market and balance the books in future seasons, when revenues return to normal.
My worry is Levy will insist on selling before buying. And he won't sell cheap. If sell before buying is the strategy, it could be a long window.

Not a chance. Not in Levy and Uncle Joe's nature.
Can't say I blame them to be honest. Which ever way you look at it it is a gamble. What if we pick the wrong 'bargains' and spend years trying to play catch up with them stuck on the books. What is normal? what if theres a new virus next winter, and every winter for the forseeable. Can't see the lane being packed out every week if that happens can you? Add in the fact that TV revenues may well have peaked, be interesting to see where they head in the future.
Thats for a club thats already heavily leveraged based on those normal revenues. I think that strategy, tempting though it is to think dropping £150-200 million in a summer when lots of good players will be going cheap, could end up being a disaster if the cards fall badly for us.
Only clubs that have backers who are happy to throw their own money at the club can afford to pursue that strategy, thats not spurs.
When TV revenues start to decline, the big 6 will be looking to lock in CL. We will be on that periphery of that unless we qualify next year, like a peasant looking in the window of a grand ball.
fingers crossed Lewis dies soon and there’s a shift in mentality somehow. I don’t think we can afford not to gamble
There are risks both ways. Don't invest, see us drop down the league, out of the European spots, lose income. Lose Kane, Son etc.
I'm not saying do a Leeds, but we should be prepared to pay for top targets if they become available. Not paying up for Grealish, Fernandes etc has already cost us.
Good point about CL. New CL format from 2024 being finalised Wednesday. If they agree privileges for our "big 6“, as mooted, we can budget accordingly. If the outcome is less favourable to us, that also impacts our investment strategy.
Looking at that list. Kessie, Insigne, Zakaria, Issco, Onana, Gintner fix 95% of whats wrong with us. None of them bar one will happen.
