Instead of a sofa, we get a chair that you can sit
Apart from Kane who has dragged us for years, Son, Ndombele who is techically gifted, Toby and a few others, this squad is bang average. There's so much deadwood at this club that are simply average and aren't good enough for a club trying to reach top 4 and beyond.

Lamela needs to go
Sissoko needs to go
Winks needs to go
Dier needs to go
Sanchez needs to go
Lo celso needs to go
Moura needs to go
Davies needs to go
Aurier needs to go

The only one on that list I’d argue for is Lo Celso who can be afforded more time as a new-ish arrival.
The rest I would have to agree with you.

the problem we are going to face is that no clubs are willing to buy at the moment due to financial constraints, and that players will be happy to sit on their contracts.

we may have to pursue the approach that Woolwich have taken, just offer them some money to fuck off and then promote some academy players.
 
These players just lost, and for the most part got dominated, to a team consisting of Dan Burn and Solly March.

Something tells me it isn't just the players.....

Lo Celso is a quality top level player, his issue has been injures. Aurier, Winks, Davies and Lucas are fine for back up squad players. I’d sell the others if I could.
 
The cycle of this team is done. It's sad but for the long term, we should sell Son & Kane and use the profit toward rebuilding....with young, potential players for the new start of the cycle. I believe it's going to be a win-win for all.
 
I would be good with just about all of this list leaving (I'd take Lo Celso off). I think the problem is we need to, at least, get rid of MOST of them. If a couple of them stay and occasionally rotate through the squad, fine. But we end up with too many games where a lot of them are on the pitch together, and THAT'S the problem.

If Dier (or whomever) is on the squad and plays occasionally, fine. But when we have a squad with Sanchez AND Davies AND Sissoko AND Moura AND Lamela on the pitch, it puts too much pressure on the remaining few actually good players to carry the team.

No way Lo Celso should be on that list, we need more guys like him not getting rid of him.
 
Winks

Sissoko

Aurier

Docherty

Sanchez

Moura

Lamela

Are all on ASAP fuck them off list

Eveyone else bar Kane Son Hojberg Ndombele also isn't safe over the next two years.

Squad needs gutting simple as
 
Disagree with almost the whole list opening poster has posted.
Most of them are our back-ups, and proven good level back-ups.

The problem is we are picking our forwards based on defensive ability.
Playing a back 5 and completely giving up the whole centre field.
Ostracised players that could give us a spark
Play in defensively conservative way forcing more pressure on the defence, when our squad is built with attacking players, but not being utilised properly.
Players are too frightened to do anything positive for fear of making a mistake
Atmosphere in dressing room is obviously at lowest levels it has ever been, and can you blame the players with what has been done to Rose, Dele and now Aurier. I am sure there is plenty more at the training ground also.

We need a new manager now, let off handbrake, release the fear factor, go to 4-2-3-1, and for a change attack.

Our first team and squad is more than talented enough. Our second string is good enough to be where we are in the league if they had a decent manager.

We just need to rid ourselves of what is probably the biggest mistake in Spurs history apart from Scholar saying "I have a good idea what to do with Spurs money"

I did forget dele. To be honest I would still retain him purely because he's a raw talent and the quality is there, its just unfortunately he is too busy shagging high end escorts to care about football. Such a waste of a life eh?

We don't need to sell for big money.

Olise, as an example, reportedly has a 8 million release clause. It is unrealistic to think we could get something similar for Lamela or Moura. There we upgrade their position and get much younger.

Dier plays for England surely we can get something decent for him. Winks is English, we hear all about HG issues, surely someone will give us something decent. Dele as well.

Personally I am tired of being disappointed by having older players that have been here too long constantly disappoint with how poor they are, would be nice to switch it up and bring in some young guys to disappoint us for a change. Shouldn't be too expensive to bring so of them in to replace the meh we already have.
