Christian romero...not interested anymore
Reguillon................
Bissouma...crap
Bentancur....never getting back to his best
Maddison..past it..
B johnson.....crap
Werner...obviously crap and not ours
Sonny...love him, but the time has come unfortunately
Richarlison...crap
Fucking hell it's not until you write this down that you realise how shit we are...
That means that we should only keep.....

Antonin..
Vicario..
Spence..
Vdv..
Udogie..
Danso...
Gray..
Sarr..
Bergvall..
Kulusevski..
Odobert...still not sure on him
Moore..
Solanke....not sure about him either

That's 13 players , which includes some youngsters.........disgusting situation to get into.
And to be fair some of these players wouldn't be anywhere near any of the other big clubs...I'm thinking..
Sarr..
Solanke...
Maybe odobert too....

Ben Davies isn't crap. Plus, he's a glue guy, proper club dude...intangible value but very important in a squad.

Brennan isn't crap...you don't score that many PL goals & assists if you're shit. Kid ain't a right winger, maybe let's start there. But yeah he's lazy & need a proper coach & captain to fire rockets up his garry.

Would keep Dragusin, Udogie, and Soloman out of these

Drag is bang average and not suited to high line, fast-paced football.

Udogie is lazy as fuck. Fragile little flower too.

Solomon done well at Leeds after spending last year in an hospital bed. He's 25. If he stays, he's a backup to the backup.

Would keep them all

Vic, if he stops shouting at the kids like a mad cunt and focuses on defending set pieces...then yeah.

Bentancur should go back to Italy or try his luck in La Liga.

Mads won't stick around if the fat bastard does...too much of a fairweather player anyway.

Sarr got zero footy IQ, all legs & lungs. He stays, he's option No 5 or 6 in the middle.

VDV - is good enough as auto strarter

You for real? He can't stay fit for 2 mins, he's the CB version of Richarlison.

Sonny and Kulu rotating starters

Cue more snail paced attacking footy, lots of cutting inside and sending the rock into row Z

, Johnson would like to see gone - incredibly low creativity, predictable , footballer

He scores goals, which remains the whole point of football.
 
I feel good about the squad overall. A bit too young, still, but at least the team is well into the rebuild many people wanted. The players I wouldn't keep:

Fraser Foster He's 36 and we've seen Austin and he's sufficient for a 3rd string keeper.
Sergio Regulon I like him but clearly the manager doesn't see him as fitting.
Christian Romero Never sure if he wants to be at Spurs. Would bring a nice return to find a quality, more durable, replacement.
Rodrigo Betancourt He's 27 and Bissouma 28, but you just feel like with the injuries he's an older 27.
Timo Werner Needs to play full-time and won't at Spurs.
Richarlison A player whose production is linked with his happiness and he's never looked very happy at Spurs.

Son I would keep because of what he means to the team. I think the arrival of Tel and the return of Odebert will allow his minutes to be managed. If Postecoglou is moved out he'll do better under a new manager in a better systgem.

Johnson has a lot of talent. Like Son, his pace on the counter means little in a system not set up for it.

James Maddison I'd keep because Spurs need more creative players and sending one of the few they have away makes no sense.
 
Who I'd sell/let go..

Forster (free) - think contract is up?! Not suited
Romero (100m) - can get a huge fee and use this to get someone whose better in a high line, whose heart is more in it and who has less brain lapses..
Dragusin (25m)- not at all suited to Angeball. Can get back what we paid for him.
Davies (free)- let his contract run out
Reg (free) - same
Sonny (40m)- doesn't really fit angeball whether CF or LW and days are numbered.. Can get a big fee from Saudi despite his age.
Richy (30m) - ditto re Saudi and just can't stay fit.
Johnson (30m)- not suited to Angeball, will be tough to sell for a decent fee though.
Veliz, Gil, Solomon (25m total)

Rest keep.

Buy..
RCB (Guehi 70m)
DM (Cardoso 25m)
Left footed RW (Bailey / Bakayoko/ Kubo/ Madueke 50m).. If we can't get any of those keep Solomon.
LB (Hincape 30m)
LCB (Hato 50m)
LW (Tel 45m)
CF (David Free)


NET SPEND = 250m received - 270m spent = - 20mil
That squad with heavy rotation and injury gods permitting would do well.

What is Angeball?

- sweeper keeper
- High line
- Inverted fullbacks that underlap into the half spaces
- center backs that can turn and chase back fast. Can defend the wide channels, excellent one on one and ball playing ability.
- a press resistant holding midfielder
- two 8/10 half winger type centre mids that also move into the half spaces beyond the CF.
- creative wingers that stay high and wide for the inverted fullbacks to underlap. Ability to beat their fullback either on the outside or inside. Good pressers.
- hard working CF that presses and stays high to stretch the defense for the CMs to have space in front of the back line.
- counter pressing
 
Anyone with the last name Trump (sorry Judd) or Musk or Farage.....oh you meant Spurs?

Well Levy, Ange, the entire ownership, the training staff and about 75% of the squad.

Sorry if that's not an in depth answer, but IMO it really is like that, like our red wearing contemporaries in Manchester, the club needs a complete overhaul, putting plasters over the wounds isn't going to help.

I do think that Tel for example will be on his knees begging to go back to Bayern after his time here.
 
Obviously bin Levy and Ange

Beyond that I'd keep:

Vic, Kinsky, Austin
Spence, VdV, Vuskovic, Davies, Danso
Bergvall, Gray, Madders, Kulu
Odobert, Solanke, Tel (if he plays well this season), Moore, Son (as a sub)

That's actually it as far as "must keeps" go. There is then a group of possibles:

- Sarr, Udogie, Porro, Drag.

Maybe under a new coach they could be good?

I can’t see any scenario that sees Ange here next season . We will finish the season with a points tally starting with a 3 . The football is getting gradually worse and the club has become a joke . On what basis does he deserve another season and another window ?
 
Who we gonna cull?

GIF by Ghostbusters


Reguilon, Forster and Werner to start with

Richy too sadly

I'd keep Davies as an experienced team player

Big decision on Biss / Bentancur. One at least has to go. Personally I think Bissouma has had more than enough chances
