Who should we sell ?

[VoteMe4Prez]

People are deluded if they think a better keeper than Vorm will be willing to sit on our bench.

Vorm is one of the best back up keepers in the division for our style of play(he actually has better distribution than Lloris). Considering other teams have liabilities such as Cabellero, Romero and Ospina. I think we should be grateful that we have a capable back up who is actually proven in the division as a first choice for another team.

Harry Kane can go in goal if Lloris gets injured

 

[arunspurs]

While it may be perceived harsh, I am not convinced of Njie. I want to freshen up the attack. I would sell Chadli & Njie and get no9 striker (backup/competition to Kane) and a left wing forward.

Not convinced of Vorm either. Already cost us 2 cups in 2 years. Would rather get a keeper like Karl Darlow and be a backup to Llorisl.

I would also sell Carroll too.

 

[panoma]

It's interesting that most of the players that we could sell are offensive minded midfielders. This tell me we lack real competition and quality in those positions after Alli, Eriksen and Lamela.

Chadli, Mason, Carroll, Son, Clinton and Pritchard are all players with huge question marks over their head whether they can cut it with us or not. Some of those haven't been with us long and others have been plagued by injuries so hard to tell how they will turn out, but they still have question marks whether they are good enough for us or not.

We could and probably need to upgrade on several of those to really challenge imo.

Fazio
Carroll (like the kid but I really don't think he's quite got what it takes and we are stocked in his position)
Chadli (has ability and produces - but is mentally and physically lazy without the ball - not right for us)
Yedlin & Trippier (move KWP to back up).


If it was down to me, as harsh as it seems, if I knew we were getting someone like Embolo and could get one real quality AM like Fekir or Drexler I'd happily offload Son and Njie (as well as the already mentioned Chadli), but I doubt we can sign those players, so accept Son and Njie will get another season, just can't see them adding much and would rather see Pritchard moved up the order to be honest.

Agree except for Trippier who is a very good understudy for Walker

Yep. If only Trippier had another yard or two of pace. His crossing is in a whole different league to Walkers, which is pretty bloody abysmal. I'll never understand why a pro footballer, someone who has literally spent their whole life playing & training, can't do something as simple as putting in a half decent cross. Then again, I also can't understand how any pro footballer can be "one footed" either. Baffles the shit out of me!

Bentaleb. Went right off the boil as soon as he was offered and accepted new contract.

There's quite a few players I wouldn't be too upset if they went as long as better players were being brought in, but generally perferctly happy with what we've got. Just Bentaleb as he's turned into a passenger and needs dumping fast.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Fazio: I thought I might write a paragraph-long reason why, then I realized bandwidth costs something somewhere.

Chadli: I think you can draw the conclusion that we have guys currently in the squad like NJie, Eriksen, Son and even Alli that can play LW. Chadli looks like the outsider in that group. Shame as I totally love him as a player/guy and think he has become a true Tottenham player.

Mason/Carroll: I just don't think they are good enough. I personally would rather see Winks get their minutes.

Yedlin: He's not better than Walker/Trippier. I think that about sums it up.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

Yedlin
Fazio
Carroll
Chadli

and regrettably, probably Mason as well.

Agree completely.

I feel like the bad guy, the shit supporter, etc. stating I think Mason should be sold. But, in all honesty, he's not going to play much for us, barring an injury, and when I add the fact that I don't believe he's Champions League/Top 4 PL material, he's better off being somewhere he can play week-in and week-out.

Exactly. I don't 'want' Mason to be sold, but if Bentaleb stays and we sign another CM, he's going to be 5th choice and we have Alli, Onomah and Winks as well. He'd get little game time and it would be better for his career if he went to somewhere like Bournemouth.

If he joined Bournemouth, Him and Harry Arter would probably be the easiest pair of Midfielders to root for outside of ours, for me.

For any full-time pro to have such a glaring weakness as one-footedness is inexcusable in my opinion. With the amount of time they have on their hands, they should be doing endless practice on using the weaker foot, ball possession, or whatever the case may be.

 

[Francis Gibbs]

any of the list below can go to be replaced by better or in Fazios case not at all

Mason
Bentaleb
Carroll
Fazio
Lamela
Chadli

I'm not sure why many say Yedlin to be sold... possible right wing forward (for late game pace injection and cup rotation) who can defend too (so also 2 or 3rd cover at RB). He's young, learning the trade, with useful raw attribs. Well worth keeping and developing.

I would definitely keep Bentaleb, then also Mason and Carroll though less vehemently so than Nabil, but those last 2 are still well worth holding on to - at least for the next season or more. These kind of players are important to the squad as a whole, while could feasibly still be candidates for season-long top flight loan if they slip down the pecking order due to a new signing.

Players develop and the 4 above haven't lost the right to do so at Spurs while they still want to. They aren't FM circles on a screen (or whatever they do now - 3d matchstick men?) and a page of data attributes. Thankfully, back in the real world, Poc at least as much as any coach respects and values this.

Lamela Gibbsy?! No way I'd sell.

Yedlin is 23 in a month . We also have KWP coming through from the academy with Trippier and Walker as our senior right backs. Dier and or Toby can also put in a shift at Rb in an emergency. Well covered.

 

[cookiemonster]

This one is simple

Lightweight 1 Tom Carroll - C Palace

Lightweight 2 Alex Pritchard - Brentford

Yedlin - Sunderland

Bentalub - Tim Sherwood's next club

Njie - my local chippy, they need someone quick to do the deliveries

Dier and or Toby (and a once/twice exposed Bentaleb) can also put in a shift at Rb, but why would we ever want to do this in any game... ever... when, in the case of Dier and Toby, they are 1st choice in other positions.

Leaving Trips and a relatively unblooded and less advanced in development KWP. Yedlin has prem and full international experience, further top tournament experience and finally an alternative pacey option to Trips + RW potential... again no reason to do this (and even more certainly not at this point in time).

I seriously doubt a young current international player is going to want to be 3rd choice . I like the theory but in reality he'll want to go and I doubt we'll stop him .
