The majority of the Spurs squad know their futures are far from secure

Nuno Espirito Santo and Fabio Paratici’s plans are taking shape but beyond five key players, everyone could have their price this summer
theathletic.com theathletic.com

Don’t know if anyone can post the full story. Headline says most players are available for sale (including Moura and Doherty) and Skipp and Tanganga can both go on loan depending who we bring in

It says “could have their price”
Doesn’t mean we want to sell them, just means that, if a big offer came in, we would have to consider it.
That’s pretty much the same for every club though

How many of the Tottenham squad can we say are definitely in Nuno Espirito Santo and Fabio Paratici’s plans?
Harry Kane obviously (assuming he stays), Son Heung-min, the undroppable Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, Sergio Reguilon perhaps, and in the long term, given he’s just signed, Bryan Gil.
It’s not many.
You might add Hugo Lloris to that list as well, but his contract expires next summer and he’s yet to hold talks over a new one. Now he has returned to training, Lloris will discuss his future with the club’s hierarchy. His deputy Pierluigi Gollini has joined on a season-long loan and whether he stays for longer will depend on how he performs this season.
The vast majority of the squad are in something of a holding pattern as they wait to see what happens next. A few players, including Moussa Sissoko, Serge Aurier and Davinson Sanchez, have been told that Spurs would like to move them on this summer. Others, such as Lucas Moura, would be available should the right offer come in, The Athletic understands. That said, his impressive pre-season performances, including in Wednesday night’s 3-1 win at MK Dons when he registered a goal and an assist, will help his cause.
Then there are those — Harry Winksand Eric Dier are in this category — looking to re-establish themselves after difficult spells under Jose Mourinho.
The uncertainty over whether players like Sissoko can be shipped out also has a knock-on effect on other players, such as Oliver Skipp, that Spurs would like to keep this summer rather than send out on loan but it will depend on who they are able to sell and bring in. Skipp, too, will find out more in the coming weeks as Tottenham work their way through pre-season and new head coach Nuno has more of a chance to look at his players. There’s a great deal of interest in Skipp from Premier League clubs and abroad should he become available for loan.

Fellow academy graduate Japhet Tanganga who, like Skipp, has been focused up until now on getting back to full fitness after picking up an injury at the end of last season, will similarly find out more as we get closer to the start of the season. As it stands, Galatasaray are interested in signing Tanganga on loan for the season, but they have not yet made an offer. As an academy graduate, Tanganga wants to stay at Tottenham and establish himself as a starter, but he will wait to discover the extent to which he’s in Nuno’s plans for this season. Should it look like he’ll need a loan to play regularly this season then he will consider the interest from abroad and from other Premier League clubs.
It’s been an uncertain time for the squad, with some players’ sense of whether they are going to stay at Spurs changing week by week depending slightly on which players and how many the club are trying to bring in.
The reality for the majority is that Nuno is sizing them up. He has largely kept his distance from the players as he assesses which of them will feature in his plans. He is aware, too, that Paratici will have a big say in what his squad looks like come September 1 after the transfer window closes and much of it will depend on whom he can find buyers for. Doing so will not be straightforward — even though Spurs do not pay wages as high as many of their traditional Big Six rivals, many of their players are still on salaries that far outstrip what teams in other countries could afford. And many sources believe that, based on recent history, chairman Daniel Levy will expect unrealistically high transfer fees.
Tottenham have managed to move on Erik Lamela and Toby Alderweireld, with Joe Hart next, but one of Paratici’s biggest challenges is to find homes for players deemed surplus to requirements.
Many players could end up being viewed in that category. For instance, it is assumed Nuno will want to keep Matt Doherty because of their success at Wolverhampton Wanderers. The new manager might value a familiar face, but it should not be forgotten that Nuno sanctioned the sale of Doherty from Wolves last year because he wanted a more comfortable and progressive option on the ball. If the right offer came in, the expectation is that Nuno would sanction a sale again. Other defenders, such as Joe Rodon, who returned to Hotspur Way this week after his excursions with Wales at Euro 2020, are awaiting further instruction on whether they feature in Nuno’s plans.

Spurs’ very active pursuit of centre-backs has made it plain that this is an area Paratici and Nuno want to overhaul. Ben Davies, who has three years left on his contract and can play as a left-back or left-sided central defender, is expected to stay. Rodon is not likely to move on a year after joining the club, especially after an impressive Euros. There’s also the sense that Mourinho, who did not lead on bringing him to the club, was not the best coach for him given his age, inexperience and need for a more hands-on style of coaching. As for Ryan Sessegnon, who spent last season on loan at Hoffenheim, the priority for now is getting fully fit.
Further forward, it would be a surprise if any of Giovani Lo Celso, Tanguy Ndombele or Dele Alli were sold. The first two are only two summers on from big-money moves and the will is still there to maximise their potential. Dele was keen to leave in the previous two transfer windows and would have had the blessing of Mourinho, but Levy wouldn’t countenance a sale. Dele now has another chance. The concern is that he won’t fit into the 4-3-3 that Nuno has played with so far. Dele has started all three of Spurs’ pre-season fixtures and has impressed in fits and starts without looking like a particularly natural fit for one of the midfield roles. He did, however, grow impressively into the game against MK Dons and marked his return to his former club with a goal.
Making a similarly positive impression was Steven Bergwijn, whom Spurs would like to keep hold of. Ajax are interested but have not made an offer. The preference to sell Moura looks to be good news for the Dutchman, but the arrival of Gil means the competition for the left-sided forward position that he prefers has intensified further. Bergwijn will hope he’s done enough in the pre-season matches to feature in Nuno’s plans — he certainly looked sharp cutting inside from the left on Wednesday night. It’s worth remembering that he was on the right last season when Spurs enjoyed their best run of form.

Thank you. Sounds like Dier and Winks are going to be given the chance to prove themselves!

A loan to Southampton may be a nice sweetener for our interest in ings.

It's amazing how Southampton hate us, yet want us to help them.

I could see him going somewhere like Palace actually. Still in London, he would have to still challenge for a place in the team but would more often than not get in it.

Case in point why news aggregators are ****s

The quote you mentioned has been tweeted as: Oliver Skipp and Japhet Tanganga could both head out on loan depending on who #thfc are able to sign this window. | @CDEccleshare

And instantly the twitter virgins are frothing at Levy for letting Skipp go out on loan as if that's what we are planning and it's all agreed

EDIT he's put the same in his own tweet when he doesn't even say that in his opinion piece article :facepalm:

Its teamtalk and they are the 'clubcall' standard of the internet age , anyway seems they behind the times in terms of this one or just re-hashing... already come out he wouldnt go and his family are his support unit and both him and them do not fancy going there and feel its better for his development here in uk , and they all can stay close within his family unit... i think AG mentioned this lasr thurs friday in one of his long videos

Can’t see it happening myself. We have had ITK saying the loan links were bollocks, plus this new link is from a very iffy source.

Hope Paratici knows we are not a Serie A team and need some good HG players.
Either use him as CB and RB back up or give him a good loan in the PL or top championship side.
