We are pushing good lads out the door.
Ryan, Andros Townsend, the more you read about Jake Livermore the more you see that he is a guy with a strong character.
Did we even upgrade really? Who did better for us on the pitch, Jake or Stambouli/Capoue?
Is Winks going to be an upgrade on Ryan this season? The most we could say today is maybe.
Bentaleb screwed himself over with what he said to Poch by the look of it, but the fact is he is a big talent we could not get the best out of as a club.
Not all the players are going to be an upgrade, I agree about Livermore vs Stambouli/Capoue, but generally speaking the squad has got better in recent years, and that has been in alrge part because we have been able to sell players like Townsend for a lot of money. Winks and Onomah are being given the chance to become the next Mason or maybe even the next Kane. Their wages are cheaper, they are younger and if they don't make it at Spurs as a first team player (and perhaps even if they do) we will probably in turn sell them for a lot of money...which gives the chance to buy Janssen/Wanyama/Sissoko (I'm being optimistic with that last one but it might happen).We are pushing good lads out the door.

It's disappointing when you see people slagging off players who want to do nothing but good for the club. If they're not good enough they'll get moved on as a natural progression. At least we're actually creating pros instead of dross out f the academy.Makes me laugh the social media replies, the same twats spouting their shit about how shit Mason was and glad to see him leave are the same who are singing 'One of our own' to Harry Kane, the cunts.
We most definitely didn'tWe made a mistake pushing Ryan out the door.
From the display of Carroll and especially Winks last night I'd agree that moving Mason was the right choice.We most definitely didn't
