Management Who do we need to cull

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wish I could cull myself to be honest. I sometimes wonder what I’d be like if this poison hadn’t been part of my life…

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.

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.

Sorry mate , Ben davies is a good pro but he shouldn't still be at this club...
Brennan is terrible, he has no redeeming qualities that I am aware of ??
He's a one trick £5million player at best, certainly not a £50 million top 6 Premier league player..
We paid £ 50m for him chelsea paid £50m for neto and Newcastle paid £50m for anthony Gordon and west ham paid £35m for kudus...i could go on and on, these are all miles better players than brennan johnson
 
Levy and Ange. And the recruitment ever since Poch's last contract. How can you go from the youngest home grown team, unbeaten at home, first over a calendar year, top 3 consistently, CL finalists, and then to this shower of shite.

I really don't know the level of these players but I'd suggest under Areola they'd be top 6 as opposed to bottom 6.
 
Apart from some of the peripheral/loanies, the following are proven not good enough. Sarr, Bissouma, VDV (Injury), Udogie happy to keep them in the squad but need to be looking to upgrade and make them squad.

Forster
Davies
Dragusin
Bentancur
Johnson
Richarlison
Kulusevski
Werner

Forster, Davies, Dragusin, Bentancur, Johnson and Kulusevski are also completely incompatible with aggressive, dynamic football, and will be a hindrance to any new coach because of that.

Who we gonna cull?

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

Of all the players you mentioned, Davies is the one thats nailed on to be gone. His contract expires and he'll move on somewhere he can play more often and we will replace his squad slot with a younger player with a better future.

With a fully fit squad made up of all players that can play his system, we will fly as we did at the start of both these seasons.

Tbf some critercism of Ange is warranted for not rotating enough from the Gala game onwards and bringing guys back too early.

The signings of Johnson and Dragusin have been poor ones also, completely not suited to his system and were both decent fees.

His penchant for not making early subs especially in the begginging of the season has hurt us also.

Benta as a DM and Kulu as an CF/AM/CM are both highly compatible with our system. Forster, Dragusin and Johnson I agree are not suitable. Davies is a good channel defender and good ball player but just lacks the speed and power to be a CB and the crossing, speed and endurance to be a LB in this system.
 
Richie
Reggie
Bentancur
Bissouma
Forster
Werner
Johnson
Son to bench

Gray, Bergval to start every game midfield from now on. Spence first choice either rb and lb

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.


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.


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


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


He scores goals, which remains the whole point of football.

Yes - you're right.
Kinsky is brilliant. Liverpool and Woolwich fans love him

What about inability to coach a defence, his failure to adapt his tactics depending who we are playing, his motionless lack of instructions from the touchline, his insistence on the high line which possibly causes Van de Ven’s hamstring problem?

We didn't fly at the start of this season.
We haven't flown since he coached all the talent out of the players.
