Bentaleb, Carroll, and Kane probably need a prem loan next season. Rose, Fryers, Archer, Naughton either aren't ready or don't look good enough.

I don't see our first team changing substantially, and we are up against a wall. Siggy counts as home-grown, so selling him would put us even closer.

I don't see them leaving, but that leaves us just Dawson, Lennon, and Townsend playing a squad role, so pretty much in order to stay within the quota we've got to keep players that either aren't good enough or who aren't going to get enough game-time with us next season in order to develop.

Which is a problem.

We should not loan Kane, maybe Bentaleb but purely because of how much competition there is. It can't only be me that thinks Kane is ready? He's put in great performances against Villa, Benfica, Monaco, Hull and now Sunderland. Whenever he's played he's impressed, and not just because he's young but because he's been really good.

I don't know, I'm afraid you're getting ahead of yourself.

I only caught the last 15 minutes or so of last night's game, but while he had a great game last night, my opinion of his previous appearances is that he's been mostly anonymous.

We all needed a result like that against Sunderland to pick our heads up a bit, but let's not kid ourselves that Sunderland are an absolutely terrible side that are bottom of the premier league. Their defending was absolutely woeful last night, so I'm not ready to believe that Kane is ready for the first team at Spurs off of the back of that performance. A lot of his previous loans haven't worked out, but I honestly think that him, Carroll, and Bentaleb need season loans with sides that are fighting relegation, and where they will get regular starts.

I can't think of any games he's been anonymous in? Apart from the games I mentioned he came on against United and baring in mind he was only on for about 5 minutes he did reasonably well.
I have no idea what to do with Carroll though, he needs to be at a club with a passing style that's for sure and I don't think we're going to find a team doing that in this league where he's guaranteed to get regular starts.
Bentaleb I agree with because with the competition here he's going to struggle to get starts and the fickle fans using him as a scapegoat doesn't help him either.

you say that but when the time before when we played a bottom of the league team at home, we barely scraped a 1 - 0 win
