Is this the start of our transfer activity? We still have the funds from Defoe and Livermore.

Bit sorry to see sig go though, always a worker with a decent amount of ability...rather keep Holtby though
I'd honestly be happy to start the season with:
Lloris
Walker Verts Vlad Fryers
Capoue Holtby
Townsend Lamela Eriksen
Soldado
Not sure I entirely agreeI really don't expect many signings at all this summer but a few departures more. Think poch has been brought it to oversee the transition of youth to first team and I'm more than happy to give the guy and the kids support.
We've got a big squad that needs thinning giving the kids a chance to come through eg Carroll, Townsend, Bentelab, Velk etc

Beast is missing because I think he may be on the way out. With the other kids plus Paulinho, Chadli, Ade, Kaboom, Dawson etc I'm pretty optimistic without a single player coming in...just my opinion though, probably wrong
don't agree with this. More important than signing new players is getting the players to play together as a team with the right tactical philosophy. That team there is a talented bunch of individuals that could be a great team if coached right. and that's surely the reason we got Poch and the direction we want to head in. i don't expect much incoming activity at all, and wouldn't be scared of starting season with players we have and trusting in Poch.That team right there, that's shit. No offence.
But I wouldn't play that in the qualifications round of the Europa league.

That's a 7th place team line-up i.m.o.We have to strengthen more at L.B. and Sandro - or his equivalent - should be at centre-back, plus Ade - or his equivalent - up front.I really don't expect many signings at all this summer but a few departures more.

So what team would you play then?That team right there, that's shit. No offence.

Yep and it isn't like we are going to replace him. But it's Poch's decision, if it turns out to be the wrong one, he's going to get shit for it.For me this is a silly decision why sell a goal scorer it just doesn't make sense

I understand your scepticism but I can't agree, if you break it down individually it's a very decent side
Lloris - nuff said
Walker - quality and fits poch's system perfectly
Verts - get his attitude right, quality
Vlad - seen enough to believe he has a chance to be outstanding, plus with all the noises out of white heart lane saying kaboom is fit plus daws; more than happy with those 4
Fryers - slipped a bit in the last couple of years but has everything to be an attacking fullback, pace, power, decent touch, the lot. Plus Fergie thought he was the next best thing, id take his opinion on youth players over most
Capoue - was superb before his injury and I expect him to pick up from there
Holtby - only had a limited number of games in his favoured position, deep lying playmaker. He's aggressive, strong, gets round the pitch well, can pass and has an eye for goal, really like him
Townsend - raw but the boys got potential and I'm happy to give him the chance
Lamela - so so much potential it's unreal, looks raring to go in preseason and has a lot to prove, really expecting a lot from him
Eriksen - nuff said
Soldado - nats dick away from being a top top striker in the prem, gets of to a good start next year after acclimatising and he'll fly
Anyway just my opinion but can't see how it's a shit side by any means, loads of potential, just needs the platform to perform
Out of that team, for now, the only ones I'd give time of day to are Lloris, Eriksen and walker. Vertonghen needs to re prove himself. Lamela has a LOT to prove.I understand your scepticism but I can't agree, if you break it down individually it's a very decent side
