Davies and Forster fine as squad players. Rodon an unknown. Others generally agree, hence need to buy one quality HG this window, preferably two

kids coming in has been ok - development due to no loans and not played in first team has been the problem. Fans and manager need to understand developing kids is necessary for the long term.
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that, he seems to have been here forever.
A maximum of 25, so can be less (with maximum 17 overseas trained players).

Tanganga needs to leave for himself more than anything.
Think we will have 6HG that are already here but will need to pick up 2 this window.
Out of Tosin/Maddison/Scott/Barnes/Eze most probably.
More to do with short term managers than the academy.
More importantly can’t you change your avatar to a picture of Ulrika when she didn’t look like a mental patient?
She was quite cute in her youth. You’re not doing her any favours now.
to be honest, all of our centre backs could leave lol! dier, like son, played most of last year with an injury so here's hoping they both come back strong next season,
but as far as homegrown, I'd be more than happy to see our academy getting integrated. that would boost our figures for the future and would probably get fans to fall back in love with our playing staff
How would you look if you’d spent time getting slapped around by Collymore and licking Sven’s ballsack?
She should count her blessings she’s still alive.
Yeah but the youngsters won't count towards HG yet so do still need to buy a couple.
Good thing Devine had enough time here to count so can go out on loan this season.
That's a sensible list. I disagree about keeping Tanganga. He needs a loan at least.
As for Ndombele....well, I'll just say fingers crossed.
I think he is generating AI images with the prompt "mental patient Ulrika johnson"
Isn’t club trained where our bigger problem is going to be?
We’ve had practically no one come through our academy in the last 5 years. Pretty much just Skipp and then an unreliable tanganga.

I know what you mean but we don't 'have to' include 8 home grown players. sarr and udogie, for example, won't be counted in the 25 yet I'm hoping will get a fair amount of game time. the same with our u21s from the academy.
if we could create a base of around 16~18 'senior' players, that would create space to blood in academy prospects. I mean, what's the point of having one if we never give them a chance.
I'm hope he gets a chance. he might not get one and you're probably right but still, that man city game gives him hope of making it.
move over, I can't see him having such a low level of commitment, or being out 'injured' like one of our other centre backs
Can't see him being linked with a team like Milan again like last summer
Without Europe, home grown isn’t the issue. We can live with a smaller squad. It’s reducing/keeping our non-HG to a level where it doesn’t hamper us to bring in an additional foreign player.
Yeah it’s clear that the spurs fanbase desperately wants a whole team of Harry winks and his homegrown play style.
