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?
I'm sure his current GF will be delighted to be called a high end escort..
 
You’re the last person to say who has to go. You’ll be gone the moment Mourinho is sacked.

Lmfao iv supported spurs all my life kid. Whole families from there. I have a letter from Martin jol himself from when I was a little shit bag kid writing to him stirring the pot spouting bollocks about how Defoe needs benching.

Where's your Martin jol letter bruv

It's hard to say some of these players are lost under Jose when they were lost under Poch too.

Sissoko was shit then, and he's shit now, that isn't changing.

Fucking about on luxury holidays, work almost never, drive expensive cars, get in to exclusive events, rub elbows with the elites of society, and shag high end escorts....

Wasted life, indeed!

:harrylol:
 
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
Aurier and Lo Celso should both stay other than that, pretty accurate.

George Best - "I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered."

You can imagine the George Best like scene....
Dele, sandwiched between Ruby Mae and Megan, in a luxury hotel in Knightsbridge, Cristal bottles strewn about the floor. Something happens and the alarm goes off and the poor security guard goes up to the room. Seeing Dele and the ladies he looks down with a sad look.
"Dele, where did it all go so wrong....?"
 
These players got Pochettino sacked and are close to getting Jose sacked. They are an embarrassment and should be no where near a club with Top 4 ambitions.
 
If we are to sell anyone in the summer, it needs to be those that are either not going to improve at this stage of their careers, earn too much money for returning very little or those who aren't good enough to where we need to end up going.

That pretty much leaves:

Paulo Gazzaniga - He's just taking up a valuable foreign spot in the squad really. He's third choice, at best he could be second choice but not worth it. Get a few million for him and move him on for the good of his career.

Davinson Sanchez - Hasn't developed to how we'd have liked. Should sell him before his value continues to dwindle. Rodon seems to be the young centre back we aim to develop so getting rid of Sanchez and bringing in a commanding centre back seems to be the logical choice.

Serge Aurier - Year left on his deal in the summer. Don't think we'll offer him a new deal and right back is a position we need to upgrade on in the summer. Raising funds will be crucial.

Danny Rose - This one goes without saying.

Moussa Sissoko - It's time to move on. 2 years left on his deal in the summer, this'll be the time to cash in on him. Never going to improve and doesn't offer enough.

Erik Lamela - Same as others, not going to improve, too much money for him to be a squad player or sit in the injury room. 29 this year. Thanks for the memories Erik, to some you are a cult hero but we need a bit more from our bench. Will have a year left on his contract.

Lucas Moura - I'd be amazed if he stays beyond the summer. Another one who is going to be 29 in the summer and another who is a cult hero for that night in Amsterdam but really doesn't offer anything. Like Lamela, a passionate player who loves the club but we need to move them on.

- - - -

I don't even think that lot will bring in a lot of money tbh. But that opens up 6 foreign spaces in our squad list, gets rid of some of the last remaining Pochettino squad players to really move on to rebuilding something special.

Promote one of Whiteman/Austin to 3rd choice goalkeeper behind Lloris and Hart. And then start the scouting process next season for Lloris' eventual replacement.

Sign an exciting right back in the mould of Reguilon to replace the outgoing Aurier and then start the scouting process for an up and coming promising right back to sign the following year to replace the outgoing Doherty.

A commanding centre back to come in and hopefully give us the leadership and control we need back there. No idea who that could be. Let's just hope it's the right one.

Long term target Sabitzer comes in to replace Sissoko. Alot more quality in there. Good engine with the ability to actually play football.

Skipp is also then brought into the squad to beef out that midfield anymore and to save us some millions in adding more depth.

Bale and Vinicius are both sent back to their parent clubs and we sign a wide forward who is capable of playing out wide as well as up top when we need to rest Kane - this moves Bergwijn into the Lucas/Lamela role of back up wide forward.
 
Personally I would say kane, son, ndombele, alli, Reguillon, Alderweireld, and loris should stay and all of the rest are bang average at best.. for me thus is nothing new i hav been saying yhix for z while...Mourinho needs to go as does the board , whose the real ones responsible for this shit show ..

Agree with most of it, but Lo Celso is quality, and Dier is a good CB but would be better if not forced to play defense 70% of the match, not to mention a better midfield in front of him. On the fence with Aurie, and Wink.

My list in of who goes in order of priority:

Moura
Sissoko
Lamela
Dele
Sanchez
Davies

We have a large core of players still there from 2015/16 who lost out to Leicester- Lloris, Toby, Davies, Dier, Lamela, Alli, Kane and Son.

Winks started to emerge the season after in 2016/17 and on 2017/18 Davinson Sanchez, Moura and Aurier.

That’s a lot of players here a long time who don’t have a winning mentality and even when we were at peak in 2016 and 2017, they couldn’t get the job done and get over the winning line.

A serious overhaul in playing personnel is required.
 
A lot of people unwilling to consider selling Kane and Son...but oh how we laughed and laughed when the dippers sold Suarez and Coutinho....

If we had a proper manager and/or DOF I would be willing to listen to these kinds of talks, Liverpool got away with it because they had proper football people in place with a good plan on how to move forward without the players and with the money,

The other problem/difference is that Coutinho and Suarez both had issues that neither Kane nor Son have so that made it much easier to sell them versus our duo.

But so long as Jose is here and it is him/Levy/Hitchens making the plans I have zero interest in moving Kane or Son and letting those 3 knuckleheads direct where the money should go.
