Romain Saiss, left footed CB is on a free.

Back to bargain basement buys.
They are both better than
Jobs for the boys. They're just cashing in and laughing at us! Agents have ruined the game.
i know I’m sure part of the reason we didn’t sign players was not lack of funds, but a stand off between agents and Levy. I’m all for building relationships with agents, but not when they turn out shit like Doherty and the Portuguese non entity midfielder - I could scout better players in the Champ than both those two
 
People are saying the pandemic is going to fuck the market. I don't know if it will or not. But even without the pandemic, we have been failing to move players on for years now. Is that suddenly going to change?

First question I'd have for you is why any English team should want to buy Winks. Then I'd ask you what price Levy would be likely to ask, regardless of whether we found Spanish or English suitors.

Do you really think Levy would let Dele go for £25m? He loves that kid. Unless PSG come in for him, we could have a very tricky time drumming up any interest in him, and even they would be insane to pay us more than £40m, IMO, which is what I suspect would be Levy's rock-bottom price.

Sanchez? Would you buy him? Like, pay actual money for him?

I am not talking about guys like that. Take 4-5 of your favourite Tottingham players, and ask yourself if you would be prepared to cash in on one or two of them in order to perform some badly-needed reconstructive work. That is what we may have to do.

All of this is not to take the piss out of you. I am just saying maybe we need to temper our expectations in terms of how we are going to raise some money.
I wouldn't sell anyone like Kane/Son/Ndombele etc..

Because I don't trust that they will get replaced adquately.

If we sell one of them and buy a CB ok we've improved in 1 area but then we have a new problem.

Dele/Winks/Sanchez were my suggestions because of all the players which are considered 'deadwood' those 3 are probably the most marketable.

Dele is still a big name to many clubs
Winks would suit La liga probably

and Sanchez well Idk about him. Someone might be interested in him...

Well, maybe you should get yourself down the back of the sofa, then.

I'm-a make this easier for you. Pretend there is interest in all of our best players. YOU get to decide which of them we sell and who replaces them. Go.

How will we improve on any of them if we don't replace people adequately?

Maybe he is, but I'd like you to name them.

Yeah, it might suit him better over there, but I'm not sure how those Spanish sides are doing for spondulics. He was linked with Valencia, was he? I thought they were supposed to be broke?

Agree with this. I honestly don't understand anyone who suggests we sell any of our stars. I don't see any suitable replacements.

Dier + Sanchez + Foyth → Andersen + Milenkovic (cash neutral?)

Dele → Sabitzer (could Leipzig accept a player swap? Dele will do well in Bundesliga and Sabitzer contract running out in 2022. Perhaps we'll have to chuck in an extra £5-10M.)

Winks + Davies → Skipp + Sessegnon (Cash in via loan recalls)

Lloris → Areola

The above can all be achieved without any net spend imo. Just takes bravery from Levy.
After this, if we do have any money to actually spend, don't renew Vinicius and get Daka for approx £15-20M.

Igula Igula Thoughts?
