That is debatable. Also debatable whether Winks, Sissoko, Davies are PL level as squad men either. The youngsters certainly are no worse than Winks, Sissoko or Davies.
Sissoko I agree.
The 4 lads don't even have 50 professional games between them.
Cirkin White and Lavinier all need a full season on loan in the Championship and Clarke has had 3 Championship loans whilst at Spurs and not done very well.
 
Lavanier, Cirkin, White, Clarke can all be back-up/squad players if we need. That is another 4 players that offer as much/little as Sissoko/Winks/Davies.
Don't think any of those are suitable for PL minutes next season. Clarke and Cirkin maybe a little, but better off getting a loan where they might start every week.
 
My fantasy :
Emi boundia
saint maximin
Daka
bissouma
Emerson/lampty

And a good CB don't know who .. maybe Anderson or boatang for a year

Mostly buy from the English leagues
 
I'd be ok with transfer listing most of the squad and getting in prospects from the lower leagues/shit teams. Kids that are hungry to prove themselves and will punch on with PEH on the pitch if we concede a goal in a set piece.

In fact I'd be cool if they just punched on with the opponents/Gary Neville regardless. I'm numb to watching us lose a match by now but seeing our players jog about and then laugh with opponents after the match boils my piss.

That won't be enough to keep Kane however imo but it will be a lot of laughs.
 
A goal or assist every 80 minutes isn't contribution enough?

That stat would be vastly better if he was starting games - not thrown on in the last 8 minutes in desperation.

Is in the PL or overall?

From what I have seen with him in the PL no I don’t think his contribution in anyway comes close to justifying his salary.
 
6 goals and 2 assists in 644 minutes (equivalent to just over 7 games).
How is that not close to justifying his salary?

Because it’s not enough. 6 goals and 2 assists for 250,000+? Weak defensively and indifferent off the ball more often than not.

Like I said I love Bale but he has clearly shown he cannot be a PL starter this season especially on the wing.

Are you trying to suggest that his loan this year has been a success?

I don't think it's been a success, but that's partly because he hasn't been played enough. When he has played, his goal contributions have been good.

I think Jose should have played him more, but I also think that he never looked like he could be a guy that is playing 90 minutes 38 times a year, and as I said earlier I don't think we have the team to carry a guy like that, especially not as the highest paid player on the team.

Davies isn't even that bad. Just very limited. Hard working, team player, perfect back up.

Winks and Sissoko have been decent squad players for us previously but since they are very limited they require a functional team and system to perform. Sissoko still gets picked for the WC winners ffs.

The issue is that we went from playing Kane, Son, Bale, Dele, Eriksen, Walker and Rose alongside Winks, to now playing Winks alongside Sissoko, PEH, Aurier, Bergwijn etc.

Some players are shit in a team like ours but will perform at extremely high levels when given the platform in a well oiled machine.

Unfortunately, we now have a squad where 90 percent of the players are underwhelming trodders who look like shit because we no longer have that elite quality that improves the entire team.
