It includes the two new central midfielders I'd want us to sign in the summer too. Maybe 7th choice is a stretch as I don't think we'll have 7 central midfielders but he'd be our last choice.

So all you're actually suggesting is replace Dembele & Vic then? Gotcha...
Yes - although we may also need another central midfielder to replace Eriksen, who I think will be off in the summer. I'd like us to go towards a 433 next season. This requires:
Lloris
RB - Foyth - Vertonghen - LB
CM - DM - Dele
WF - Kane - Son
That leaves Dier, Winks and Skipp on the bench. I assume Sissoko is probably seen as ahead of Skipp so perhaps 6th choice central midfielder.RB - Foyth - Vertonghen - LB
CM - DM - Dele
WF - Kane - Son
Either way, a big summer required considering we will be losing at least 7 players. (Vorm, Alderweireld, Wanyama, Aurier, Nkoudou, Llorente, Janssen)
Subtle innuendos follow
Thankfully replacing Voorm is supa low priority. Similarly a CB could wait a window if you consider Dier/Davies in the mix. As for the assumption Serge is done, i'd like to think KWP slots straight in there.
No doubt busy regardless (esp. when considering sales too), but hopefully not as crazy you suggest. 4 sounds a lot more manageable that 7; both in terms of the deals themselves and integration.
Yeah - I don't think centre back is a huge issue.. yet. - but it would be nice to be looking at Vertonghens eventual replacement as I feel Sanchez and Foyth have enough about them to replace Alderweireld.
I'd like KWP at right back but I'd get rid of both Trippier and Aurier and bring in someone to compete with KWP .
If someone as the guts to say we don’t need new players... get the fuck out
Don't pretend you're not even a little bit curious as to how long we could do without!
There is scarcely a player of ours whom I wouldn't listen to offers for.
Winks is the best centre midfield we have, and the future of ours and England’s midfield. He will, and should be, part of our midfield going forwards. I agree we need a new defensive mid, winger, full backs and depth elsewhere.
Personally I think Eriksen will stay.
Wouldn't be against it. Love Winks.

Of course with the transfer fee Levy will put on him is going to be crazy
What do you think would be a fair price for him? Because he's only got a year left on his contract, I'm thinking £80m.
Which suggests we're prepared to see him leave for free the year after... Can't imagine it tbh.
New deal or gone, i suspect.
At least 100m clams
If the club get an offer of £80m with 1 year left on his current deal and no extension signed, I think £80m is a figure the club would accept. Nobody wants to lose him but a year later we get zilch for him and let's be honest there's only a couple of clubs who might turn his head.
Would be so great if he sees and believes in the next phase for the club. We'll know what the crack is sooner rather than later
