So if Wimmer leaves, as I've been expecting for several months, and we continue the use of three CBs, surely we should soon be linked to plenty of new, decent CBs?

So per Grey Fox: 3-4 signings , 2 youngsters, 1 household name.
Per Dhov: An explosive player to play with / backup to Kane, Walker and Wimmer out (meaning a RB and a CB in).
Trix: Walker most likely first team player leaving, not much chance of anyone else leaving.
Per everyone: Sessegnon close
So in summary, I'm guessing we could be looking at this:
Explosive attacking player (I'm guessing the "household name" will be an attacking player. Lemar? Costa? Not really strikers, though...)
Youngster 1 = Sessegnon
Youngster 2 = some CB as replacement for Wimmer (a young player will be more likely to be ok with a bit part role if Toby, Jan & Dier all stay)
Right Back = ? (no real links besides Alves?)
This is, of course, if everyones info is current and holds up. Big if, I know, but the real conclusion here is that there isn't room for Ross Barkley if we are only looking at 3-4 players. I can live with that.

All right except JJ poo'd on Costa as media speculation.
Sessegnon also above someone said we have a lot of competition. Fingers crossed on that.

Walker not been a problem from the stuff I have heard. The Sissoko stuff is right, but as for the rest

At last we have the Bleacher report thanks Trix re domestos
thanks Trix re domestosI've always seen Barkley as a backup for us loosing one of our CMs this summer i.e. Eriksen or Alli (or Dembele at a stretch) and not a primary target
Would love an explosive forward as an option but don't see how there are many out there that aren't a) already at top clubs b) already been identified and are being touted around all clubs i.e. the lad from Monaco. I thought Son and N'Koudou were supposed to be that for us already - does that mean one of them is not seen as having a future (not Son)?
Sessegnon is a young Rose from what I've seen (or has the ability to be) - would love that to be secured but can see why all the top teams in England and some abroad would be interested. Still a little disappointed we didn't get M.Dembele mk2 from them last year and hope we don't let this one slip through our fingers.
Wimmer will not be a huge loss as I think CCV stood in just as well when called upon but I would question the depth at CB if we stick with 3 at the back.
Walker - I was gutted when it looked like there were problems as it was by far his best season in both attacking and defencing (something he's never been able to balance previously) however, Tripp is a better footballer in both areas and the improved general composition of the team means the reliability on Walkers pace to get us out of trouble is generally less than it was NB don't look at the FA cup semi final first 4 minutes......

Well, that timescale would tie in rather neatly with Guardiola reportedly deciding end Dec/early Jan that he "wanted" Walker.
IF this is the case, I hope (but doubt) Levy will give Oil Well FC both barrels.
And not barrels of oil!

If we buy Sessegnon, we can let Wimmer go IMO. We could move Davies to LCB position , which he also plays for Wales.

That's taking for granted that both Rose and Davies would stay.

Yes...And I don't see them move regardless of , whether Sessegnon comes in or not.

I'd be very surprised if this wasn't the case. Why would anyone suspect otherwise?

I'm surprised that one would take it for granted that both definitely are staying. All my own opinions, of course. Highly ambitious players. Not saying ambitions can't be fulfilled within Spurs, but ambitions can lead them to weigh their options.

In what universe is Davies above our current level?
