On a positive note, the deadwood clear out is off to a good start.

These have gone:

Ndombele
Sess
Tanganga
Dier
Perisic

Some links for:

Emerson
Lo Celso
Hojberg
Rodon
Spence
Gil

There was 12 I wanted out, 5 have already gone.

Only Reguilon is quiet
 
The rumous about LCB (can also play as DM), Bastien Meupiyou keep resurfacing so maybe this is one of few rumous that actually got "legs"

Report: Spurs are looking at French centre-back who has one year left on his contract​

According to a report in L’Equipe, Tottenham Hotspur have expressed an interest in signing Nantes’ defensive starlet Bastien Meupiyou.
Meupiyou has been seen as a potential future star for a while and it was reported by RMC Sport back in February that Tottenham were watching the youngster closely.
This link is mystifying. He has only just turned 18 and played 9 minutes of top flight football for Nantes. He was sent off after 9 minutes. He needs a lot more game time.

He played for France at youth level reaching both the euro and World Cup finals and is supposed to be fast and strong. 1m91 so tall too and is a ball playing defender. Left footed too so he’s like a van de Ven regen.

If we’re buying him then we need to do what Woolwich did with Saliba and send him back out for 2/3 years to play in France. He is NOWHERE near first team ready.
 
If we can get a deal done for Eze that’ll be great and I’m all over it.

But in an ideal (but still realistic) world we sign a replacement for Kulu to compete with BJ on the right (ideally superior to both) and then allow Kulu to compete with Madders as the 10.

However I’m not sure who’s there for that role who is a guarantee. Xavi Simons seems to be the best bet but imagine we’d be far down the queue of teams after him.

Agree with that lot, they all have to go but not sure what Solomon offers and never did. Then you're into the possibles like Forster, Davies, Skipp, Richarlison.

OK, this may be unfair on Troy, maybe it's the expression on his face, maybe the fact he's only wearing a vest, but that photo immediately reminded me of something...

He's only one small arm movement and a grimace away from this:

Wow. What a pic. I had no idea. I just did a search on DiCanio and facism and what a treasure trove that was! Insane. The man is a clueless wanker. "Mussolini was just misunderstood and a good boy, really". "Hitler was a deeply complex individual and subtle nuances of his humanist views were taken far too literally, which was maybe regrettable, in a certain light".

OK, I made the last one up, but this isn't far off his shtick. He's deluded. Or deceptive, which is worse.

FWIW, Troy Parrott isn't like him. At all. But he is a naughty boy.

I think some people take the 'it's not your problem what clubs are willing to pay for you, that's just your market value' to heart.

Oh, it's ABSOLUTELY your problem that you cost £55 million and £200k a week. You need to get up early for that shit. You need to put down that packet of crisps. You need to give blood, sweat and tears. You need to show up and stay up. You need to be better than the guy beside you, and the guy beside him. You need to push yourself beyond your limits on a daily basis and you cannot, CANNOT rest of your laurels.

What an arsehole. But, more so, what a tragic waste.

Yeah, odd one. There's just no way I can get behind someone whose name sounds like a kid playing stormtroopers.
