Honestly I wouldn't be sad to see any of them go apart from Kane and Hugo. I know this will probably get loads of negative ratings but it's the truth.
I think the starting point needs to be most are in the squad / not needed camp and we see who we can bring in which can determine who is then moved from squad to not needed.

 

[midoshairband]

Key:
Kane, Lloris, Son

Starting Place:
Reguilon, PEH, Ndombele, Bale

Squad:
Davies, Toby, Rodon, Lo Celso, Tanganga, Bergwijn, Moura. Putting Skipp and Sess in here, although would love them to prove good enough to start.

Not wanted:
Doherty, Aurier, Winks, Dele, Dier, Sissoko, Sanchez, Lamela

 

[Yiddo1982]

There's not really anyone I'm desperate to keep apart from Kane. The squad needs turning over and the age needs bringing down.

Son is a tricky one. We obviously love him, but, at 29 this summer, would you sell and use the money for Neto and Bissouma?

Dele, Winks, Dier all need moving on for their own sakes and our's. Too much history here to start another chapter.

Toby, Sissoko, Lamela, Aurier - all the wrong age and no longer good enough.

Doherty and Sanchez - not good enough

PEH, Reguilon need to stay and progress under a new manager.

Gio and Tanguy - fuck knows, we are all desperate for them to come good, but despite the odd flash, they've contributed next to nothing over the past two years. All the talent, but not of the right character. I'd sell them if we could use the money to buy replacements like Bissouma and Sabitzer.

Rodon, Bergwijn, Tanganga, Skipp, Sess - all stay and develop

Moura - not good enough but does put in the effort, so worth keeping for now.

Bale? Jeez. I've fallen a little bit out of love with him. Doesn't seem to put the effort in. I wouldn't keep him. Time for younger, hungrier players. He came on with 20 minutes left and didn't sprint once. Whilst he was treated unfairly at Madrid, I was concerned a bit by his behaviour on the sidelines. He does have a chip on his shoulder. I'd rather just remember the good time.

So a lot of work to do.... but we all know our chairman cannot do deals, he struggles to sell players. This level of turnover would take him another 5 years. Not sure what we are going to do.

 

[NickHSpurs]

Interesting the turn in fortunes Hugo has had that many consider him key. 34 years old, he is a winner I suppose at international level at least.

Considering we have no money to spend, letting Hugo go and having to buy a keeper wouldn't be smart.

 

[DJS]

Lots of peeps marking Son as a key player but does he deserve that status when he only shows up for half a season on average?

 

[Everlasting Seconds]

Key:
Lloris, Højbjerg, Kane

Starting:
Aurier, Reguilon, Lucas, Bale, Son, Lamela,

Squad:
Tanganga, Rodon, Dier, Davies, Ndombele, Bergwijn, Vinicius, Skipp, Dele, Foyth, Sànchez

Sell:
Sissoko, Doherty, Winks, Lo Celso, Hart, Gazzaniga

Assume will leave:
Alderweireld

Which means we need to target CB and CM signings who can slot straight into the starting lineup, and otherwise work with what we've got to put together a match day squad.

Agree with most of those. Where would you put Moura, Rodon and Foyth?

Blimey, too many players.

Sell Foyth as its £14m and we need funds badly.

Moura a squad player.

Forgot Rodon too. Pretty much confirms how bloated our squad is and what a massive clearout is needed.

He stays.

 

[yankspurs]

Bale absolutely should not return

 

[carpediem991]

Key Players

Kane, Son

Starting Place

Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Ndombele, Lloris, Bale

Squad

Alderweireld, Rodon, Lo Celso, Dele, Tanganga, Moura, Skipp, Sessegnon, Hart, Davies, Lamela (sell if he wants to leave)

Not Needed / Sell

Doherty, Sanchez, Winks, Dier, Sissoko, Bergwijn, Aurier, Vinicius, Dele, Foyth


If we want to keep Bergwijn, Aurier and Dier as Squad players I am okay with it, but don't hesitate if a good offer comes in.
Personally I feel we can just start to get a new spirit in the squad when we get players like Winks, Sissoko and Dele out. Players who have a way higher expectation of their role than what they actually can contribute on the pitch.

you know, aside from kane, son possibly hojbjerg - and maybe hugo ( was unnecessarily harsh on him the other day, and rightly got called out) i genuinely wouldnt shed a tear if any of em left! thats the state the squad is in!
