How many full backs do city want 😂😂😂

They are not happy with any of their LB options (Mendy due to attitude and injuries) and also need to make sure they have enough HG's. At RB, Walker also turns 30 towards the end of next season and I am positive they do not see Danilo as Walker's long terms replacement (both talent wise and age wise, as he only has 2 years left of sub 30yo play as well).

The two big needs they also have are a Fernandinho back/up replacement (they are insane if they do not try and cut a deal for Neves) and a CB to replace the spent, often-injured Kompany and the wuthless Otamendi..

David Silva turns 34 in 10 months so they will have to look to replace him soon, as well. If they go true (as MJ says) Billy Big Balls, they might shift Bernardo Silva back to MF to replace David Silva and make a move for Mbappe in the next several years.

 

I see the players they would possibly sell or let go soon as 

Claudio Bravo

Otamendi

Kompany

Mangala (massive bust, our Drinkwater, but even worth less)

Mendy (if they bought both Chilwell and Junior Firpo and sold Oleksandr Zinchenko as well, or even better, buy Lucas Hernandez as he is a yop 4 LB as well and give CB cover)

Oleksandr Zinchenko (see above)

Danilo (if they bought Wan-Bissaka)

Fabian Delph

David Silva

If they sold/let go all of those they would raise £175-200m or so

That would pay for

Neves (I will guess they (or we) could get Wolves to sell for £85m or so) and de Ligt (£90m or so) or Skriniar/Lucas Hernandez/Koulibaly/Marquinhos/Giminez

They would still have to buy 2 LB's (Firpo and Chilwell? that would be £95m), a RB (Wan-Bissaka would cost around £35m or so, maybe £40m), another backup CB (unless they keep Kompany), a backup GK (easy enough to find or keep Bravo) and another CMF

all that would cost around £180-220m net

they obviously have that type of money

obviously they wont make all those moves, but many will happen

Confirmed: Tottenham Watch 'Nigerian Eden Hazard' Score Two Goals, Win Penalty 

https://www.allnigeriasoccer.com/read_news.php?nid=31051

'Nigerian Eden Hazard' Jayden Bennetts was the star of the show as Watford sealed their place in the quarterfinals of the FA Youth Cup following their 4-1 rout of Ipswich Town on Tuesday evening.

 

Watford confirmed during the game staged at Wingate & Finchley FC that Tottenham Hotspur scout David Pleat was in the crowd for the FA Youth Cup tie, and must have taken down plenty of notes after an all-action first half.

 

Bennetts and Nigerian-born midfielder Emmanuel Adebiyi were named in the starting line-up and both went the distance for the Hornets. 

 

The Nigeria U20 invitee broke the deadlock when he smashed home from 20 yards with his left foot in the tenth minute.

 

It was 3-0 Watford after 25 minutes, thanks to skipper Ryan Cassidy who converted a spot kick after Bennetts was brought down in the box by Scott, before Hughes reduced the deficit on 34 minutes. 

 

Twenty minutes into the second half, the Flying Eagles hopeful effectively ended the game as a contest when he scored his second goal of the game.

 

Jayden's elder brother, Keanan Bennetts, was on the books of Tottenham Hotspur before switching to German outfit Borussia Moenchengladbach last summer.

Maybe with Sarri but he's out so not happening. 

But with Zidane hopefully something like this: 

                                                                                            Kepa

                                                                Bissaka     De Ligt      Rudiger     Telles

We need a massive overhaul of players but I'm not sure our board are up to it... 

[1905didierblue 748]

Outs - 

Hazard - 100mil£

Willian - 20mil£

Luiz - 5mil£

Alonso - 20mil£

Giroud - free

Zappacosta - 10mil £

Bakayoko - 30mil£

Higuain - end of loan

Kovacic - end of loan

That's 190mil £. Let's say around 200mil£ along with some unwanted loan army

Ins-

A proper ST, along with Tammy

Give CHo proper go along with pulisic and Pedro as a back up

Kante, DD as DMs

Jorgingo, RLC, Barkley, mount as CM options

A proper LB or give palmeiri a shot and a youth like Jay da Silva as a back up

Reece James/aina to back up azpi.

Christensen to replace Luiz, bring back zouma

Not a great squad but something to build on. A young hungry squad sans dead weight. Curb the expectations and start over a new era for me

No longer on the Gomez bandwagon sweetie, he (and Celta overall) have utterly collapsed

he has TWO goals, all comps, since November

1 in the last 2 and a half months

The lack of foresight and planning to put us in this position is hard to swallow.  Trying to save money every year is going to wind up costing us a lot more in the long run.  There needs to be a lot of incomings and outgoings this off season and I can't remember us doing more then 3 or 4 incoming players in a long while.

Its this whole 1 out 1 in malarkey we are supposed to have!

Still waiting to see who replaces Cescy!

With No DOF we dont have the skills needed to be real busy at the club.

Its our whole system that needs to be looked at not only on the pitch.

Directors - Granny Penny Pinscer needs sacking and some football types need to come in.

Need to look at our whole transfer set up and scouting.

Academy - the loan system, a structured path for them to be cherry picked in to the 1st team or sell them if we can't see them getting better after a 2 year loan.

Need to sort out our identity. A direction the club needs to go in. We dont have one.

Using managers with similar styles, Right now we have a patchwork quilt of a tem put together by 3 managers with different styles. The previous 2 were more defenfer orientated and we lost our basic instinct to score goals and offend!!! It makes sense these players cant adapt to Sarris style.

We need to knock the walls of our house of cards down and rebuild it from the foundations up!

Id still consider him. He is in a dip, but I like his style and he has tools to be good allround striker. There arent many other targets anyway.

How long we have been saying this?

Since Conte came, and 3 seasons later we are saying the same thing. 

They just don't do it.
