Sandro - Dembele has been mt favourite midfield combination

I miss the old Dembele - Dier - Dele midfield of a couple seasons ago.
LlorisGazzaniga, Foyth, Trippier, Sissoko, Brandt, Sessengon, Adams
KWP - Sanchez - Vertonghen - Rose
Winks - Dier - Grealish
Son - Dele
Kane
If we were to sell Eriksen, Lamela, Alderweireld amongst others, I’d like to see something like this.
I acknowledge that we need Dembele/Eriksen replacement but we need to start rebuilding our defensive unit. In my opinion the foundation of every team.
With Alderwiereld off and Aurier/Trippier unsatisfactory at RB, we need to look to build the unit of Lloris, KWP, Foyth, Sanchez, Vertonghen, Rose and get them playing together regularly pre-season. None of this chopping and changing. Play the unit together so they can start to instinctively act as one.
We also need to look for a long term replacement for Vertonghen who wont be here forever.
Build from the back.
PS
Grealish had his chance to join us last summer. Sorry, chance gone. Get someone who wants to play for us.
If this season was a struggle for top four then that would be a truly mammoth proposition.
I see our sights get lower and lower by the day. Next we'll accept anybody just to say we got someone.
Villa are a mile off the play-offs, let alone automatic promotion. Maybe it would be a different story in the summer.Grealish wanted to join last summer. However Villa made it clear they wouldn't sell and definitely not for the two bob Levy was offering. Grealish didn't want to upset villa fans by being a cunt and going on strike to force a move. Fair play
Amazingly, Bale has missed over double the amount of games Dele, Eriksen, Son and Kane have in the last 4 years through injury.
Impeccable.
Bale, a player famous for muscle injuries, isn't going to sign for a club famous for its muscle injuries. Just not happening.
Leave the dream of a club legend coming back to take us to glory in your head. Its where its best. That's where it is for me.
£32m from what I remember.
Mahrez managed to engineer a move to City despite Leicester not releasing him. I thought that was what these agents are for?

Why do this to yourself?New RB - Wan Bissaka/ Dumfries/ Aarons
Toby Replacement - Militao/ Denayer
New LB - Tierney/ Chillwell/ Gaya/ Grimaldo
2 New CM/DM - Neves/ Weigl/ Cook/ Lobotka/ Cyprien /Wendel/ Zakaria/ Diawara
Eriksen Replacement - Bruno Fernandes/ Brandt/ Fekir/ Forsberg/ Ziyech/
Striker/Wide Forward - Werner/ Rodrigo/ Ben Yedder/ Rebic
Sell/Release - Vorm, Trippier, Davies, Wanyama, N'koudou, Llorente, Jannsen.
I remember around 15 mill plus extras based on appearances etc.
It was low as they needed to pay a tax bill and were desperate, we were taking advantage and it looked like it would go through - they got new owners who could cover it and then the deal died.That's a ridiculously low offer (if it's what we made). Wouldn't buy a third choice keeper in the PL.
My memory is about £32m. If he wanted to come he could have 'done a Mahrez'

We all know how this pans out...
Press release, 18:30, Aug 30 2019
Tottenham Hotspur are delighted to welcome Complex Compound-Name to the club, after securing the 18 year old's services from Shrewsbury Town.
Compound-Name will be joining the development squad.
Complex is our first signing this summer. Mauricio Pochettino said of the young utility player...
Why don't you come on over valery. Would love wan bissaka but I agree he will probably go to someone like Man United or Chelsea for a lot more than we will offer. Be good if we got some young British talent like him & Brooks in.We've probably been to slow regarding Wan Bissaka. He's already out of our price range. That's why we should pay attention to Yan Valery from Southampton. He's not english, but I guess he's been aound long enough to call himself homegrown(?). According to Transfermarkt his deal only runs till summer 2020.
