I really don't mind if Dawson what's to stay, he is a loyal club member and a good option to cover and rotate, just not first choice.

If Vertonghen was to leave, that would be fine by me. I think Schar would be an ideal replacement.

Kaboul has to many injury concerns for my liking so if Pochettino allows Vertonghen and Kaboul to go, we could easily replace them plus I feel Fryers is a good CB in the making.


CB: Chiriches, Schar, Dawson, Fryers, Caulker.

Thought we had already sold Livermore and Defoe and had a negative net spend from last season. Would be nice to shift some first but hardly essential.

We need to strengthen our back line, not weaken it even more!

Despite my name being on it, I can absolutely assure you I didn't write a word of that piece

This 'News'paper is ridiculously awful. Got published originally with the name of John Cross on it-above is what he had to say on Twitter when Spurs fans questioned the truth/sensationalism of it. It then got changed to someone else and then they settled on their gossip journo.

Awful paper.

Yeah, seems legit. I bet Levy's in his office frothing at the mouth at the turmoil of it all.

We have about 30 players over the age of 21 at Spurs so no surprise several need to leave.

Just a question of whether the clubs they are being offered to are prepared to offer a decent contract and the players are happy with the new club

Strengthen yes agree but Vertonghen and Kaboul were very much part of that weak defence also Vertonghen's agent has been touting him around to other clubs.

BULLSHIT.

But so was Chriches, Dawson. Fryers has been on the fringes, but not sure on him yet.

And that's his agent, not him. I wasn't pleased with his attitude in the latter half of the season, but Sherwood didn't help matters in that area! If Barcelona come knocking, you can't fault him for wanting to go.

Sshhhh. While the rags are linking their favourite teams to just about every player on the planet they've got to make it seem like we're having some kind of crisis as some kind of counterpoint.
