And bringing it back to the football and the transfer window ...
Realistically we only need a maximum squad size of 22 players seeing as we have no European football. We currently have 31 players on the pre-season tour, with another 4 at home with injuries (Forster, Bentancur, Gil, Sessegnon). Assuming we will buy at least one CB that means we need to offload as many as 13 players in the next month or so. Not impossible, Chelsea are into double figures for departures already this summer, but they are being pragmatic with fees.

There will be plenty of loans out. A lot of the deadwood are close to the end of their contracts as well .
Must admit though, for the same sort of money I'd prefer Goncalo Ramos. I think he's quality and only 21 years old. The hatrick he got against Switzerland in the world cup was superb
Sorry.... That was in reply to the Vlahovic post
I'm sorry, but this post needs pulling up for the patronising nonsense that it is.
We are not the other 80+ teams, are we. We aren't Wycombe or Wigan.
We are Tottenham Hotspur for fuck sake. One of the traditional power houses of the post war English Game. So let's not start distorting the facts with these twisted, insulting comparisons.
One of the Wealthiest clubs on the planet
One of the best supported clubs in the country
First club to achieve the double since ww2.
First English club to lift a major European trophy.
A trophy in every single decade. . before ENIC.
Record FA Cup winners . .before ENIC
NOT just one of the 80+ other teams
However you try and dress it up 1 trophy in 23 years is an utter fucking disgrace and a stain on our proud club..
All we have seen is a failure to back every manager they appointed, a failure to invest at the opportune time, and a failure to push the team forward when the chance was there for the taking.
For a supposed Spurs fan, you seem to endlessly insult the history of our club.
You revel in belittling our past achievements.....As some kind of warped logic to justify our current failings.
You're a sham, mate. Learn to show some respect to the history of our great Club

He was HungarianAnd what are Bayern gonna do next, send over Hans fucking Gruber
Yeah, nah, I think I hold Poch in far greater esteem than George bloody Graham.
Be careful, your 'mask' is slipping.
Oh great, another player like Maddison that we've been monitoring, considering, deliberating, masturbating over for years and years. We were linked whe he was at Lyon, Sampdoria and now Palace. Could have signed him for 20 mill and now he will cost 50-60 mill. Very smart
Very good defender, not quick but is smart, however he is best as a right sided cb. He would have been an ideal replacement for Toby imo
Again we should be all over it. Probably better than most of our midfielders in the ball carrying role. £25M surely worth a punt? We have donkeys in the squad with far less talent that should be gone. May be give them Rodon plus cash? At least he’ll be closer to walesBowen
Eze
Olise
Scott
.......Probably.
Fair fucks to the lad if he goes there cos he's focussed on getting game-time tho'.

I think the club are prepared to let him join a team like Bournemouth and if he does well there for a few years we will then try to buy him when his price will most likely be 50-60 mill.
Who was Hungarian, Hans Gruber? He was actually East German.He was Hungarian
If we are working on 1 player at a time, after the centre back the next player in will be in the January Transfer Window at this rate.
Rather a very good one
With 22 that would ease the homegrown problem a bit as well.
Best change my name to Skinny loads of mates then!
Are you actually a fan of the team? I ask sincerely because you talk like you have zero emotional connection to Spurs. Even your name hints at this. You certainly are a expert in lip service. The current ownership is not the club it exsists unarguably beyond this it's actually very obvious. The club is the fanbase it's history it's identity and their collective memories of thousands of games. It shouldn't even need saying. Think you are going the way of The Dealer for me mate...into the void.
