Thats a 25 man squad +U21's

BAE
Fryers
Dawson
Lennon

Possible outs
Chadli - its him or holtby and frankly holtby looks good this preseason
Sandro - since we are obsessed with schneirderlin
Naughton - if yedlin coming in
Carroll or Mason - keep one, loan one
Fredericks loan
Dier loan

I think we need to get rid of Paulinho or dembele but dembele wont pass a medical atm and paulinho at least deserve a second chance
BAE- quenelle done for him
Sandro- Injuries done for him
Paulinho-7-1 done for him
Chadli-Poncey
Chiriches-does'nt fit into the group

All foreign so Brucey bonus too.
Paulinho wasnt involved in that match until the second half. First half they conceded 5 goals with Fernandinho and Luis Gustavo in midfield

The fact that some of you would waste a squad space on Friedel and kick out Dembele is laughable.

Pretty certain that having 3 GKs registered is part of the squad rules, it is for UEFA competitions.


as for my choices:

Dawson - just doesn't fit with playing the ball out
Benny - is a wanker
Paulinho - totally disappointing
Dembele - all flash no cash
Carroll - doesn't seem to have kicked on (a PL loan perhaps?)

If an extra space is needed then get Nobby a good loan with a January recall, if Mason doesn't make an impression then he can move on in January and Bentaleb can return. Going to have to keep K. Naughts around if Walker's got a niggling injury, at least until January. Thankfully we'll not have to see him attempt to play LB again though!

Easy... Easy...

Friedel
Dawson
Ekotto
Naughton
Dembele
Paulinho
Lennon

Could go for starters.

6-8 others could be put up for loan, people like Ceballos and Fryers especially really need a run of senior games.

5 out now:

Friedel - register him for Europa, but not PL - but this is probably not what MP is worried about when trimming the squad

Dawson - schedule a testimonial, invite all his new mates from Hull down to watch
Bennie - just go away
Carroll - loan him out, but I think he is as good as he is going to get
Townsend - Sell him, Lennon plays his role better, and if we bring in a LW, he'll see even fewer minutes
Demeble/Paulinho - pick one, sell the other

Kaboul - sell him to bring in Musacchio
Sandro - sell him to bring in Schneiderlin
Naughton - sell him in January to bring in Yedlin

Friedel (young keeper can be 3rd choice - rarely needed, and usually if you do get 2 keeper injuries you are allowed to get someone in on emergency loan anyway)
BAE
Dawson
Sandro (was difficult)
Mason (loan out if necessary, we'll sell him for a few hundred k eventually, ala Dawkins)

Brad- just register him for the EL (providing we can recall Jordan Archer in a keeper crisis)
Dawson
Fryers either loan or permanent
Carroll loan
In an ideal world BAE
Sacrifice Sandro for Schneiderlin

Simple thread, maybe I should have called it Levy's Choice but hey ho. Pochettino has stated that we need to cut down the first team squad. Which 5 from the current first team squad (below) would you get rid of or be willing to sell to enable targets to come in?
Goalkeepers
  • Brad Friedel
  • Hugo Lloris
  • Michel Vorm
Defenders
  • Kyle Walker
  • Danny Rose
  • Younes Kaboul (vice-captain)
  • Jan Vertonghen
  • Vlad Chiricheș
  • Kyle Naughton
  • Michael Dawson (captain)
  • Eric Dier
  • Ben Davies
  • Zeki Fryers
  • Benoit Assou-Ekotto
Midfielders
  • Aaron Lennon
  • Paulinho
  • Érik Lamela
  • Lewis Holtby
  • Etienne Capoue
  • Andros Townsend
  • Mousa Dembélé
  • Nacer Chadli
  • Christian Eriksen
  • Tom Carrol
  • Sandro
  • Nabil Bentaleb
  • Ryan Mason
Forwards
  • Harry Kane
  • Roberto Soldado
  • Emmanuel Adebayor

I am not sure that is the current first team squad: are Carroll and Fryers ahead of Veljkovic, Fredericks and Ceballos, and is BAE anywhere?

Anyway BAE going is a given, and I see no use for Dembele or Paulinho, and Fryers can be happily loaned. If I had to part with another from your original list it would be Chadli, but rather reluctantly.

If we want to bring anyone else in then we can start thinking about losing the likes of Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Chiriches, Sandro, Carroll, Holtby or Soldado, but that would be on a 'one in one out' basis, with a view to upgrading individual positions. Would be disappointed if anyone else on that list went, and I would only let Carroll go on loan (as indeed would be the case with the aforementioned Veljkovic, Fredericks and Ceballos.)

Daws - time is up
Chiriches - not sure he is a prem player
BAE - easy choice
Sandro - doesn't look the same player
One of Capoue (still not convinced but, if we sell Sandro I would keep him), Paulinho (not a prem player, would be much more suited to Italy) or Dembele (is he ever 100% fit?). Preference for Paulinho to go out of those three.

All of this is conditional on us getting in our targets. MM doesn't come, keep Chiriches, no MS, keep the three mids. BAE, Sandro and Daws should all go regardless.

In reality, I think, with a few notable exception (Hugo, Jan, Eriksen) all of our squad could be upgraded so I wouldn't mind anyone going if we had a top quality replacement. I do want to see what Lamela can do this season, and Chadli, I think there is a player there with some good coaching.
