Potential XI Standard: Lloris, Toby, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Son, Dele & Kane
Whilst some of the others are good squad options, all of them can be upgraded.

Sorry mate don't know if you realise but you typed the word Dele in your post....if you just delete it quickly, I'm sure no one will notice.Potential XI Standard: Lloris, Toby, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Bergwijn, Son, Dele & Kane

I personally wouldn't sell him right now because we can't sell all at once and you will always get 100% energy and aggression.You know when your family dog gets a bit old, and he starts barking at the wall and attacking the bath mat and pissing in the cupboard, and you know you should really put him down, but he just looks at you with those big sad eyes and you remember all the fun you've had, so you decide to put it off even though it would be better all round to just say goodbye?
That's why I couldn't sell Lamela.
Barring dier into listen to offers for I agree this completelyI feel the only way out of this for us now might be to raise cash to buy lesser quantity but more quality. We need to consider any decent offers that come in for 80% of our players and it's going to require Levy to bite the bullet a la summer 2015. If that leaves gaps then for now so be it, we can plug some with youth and utility players like Gedson who we've got for another year at least.
Players i'd actively look to move on :
- Sissoko
- Alderweireld
- Rose
- Foyth (might be promising but inconsistency just isn't what we need right now)
- CCV
- KWP
- Gazzaniga
Listen to offers for:
- Lloris
- Aurier
- Davies
- Sanchez
- Winks
- Dele
- Lamela
- Lucas
Keep:
- Tanganga
- Dier
- Sessegnon
- Skipp
- Ndombele
- Lo Celso
- Gedson
- Bergwijn
- Clarke
- Parrott
- Son
- Kane
Successful window would be to sell all the top 7 players, and a couple in the second bracket for decent fees. That should give us at least £100m to spend on 3/4 quality players to build around the keep players and any others remaining.
A fucking disgrace that the club are going to hide behind COVID for reasons of no or little investment when we are crying out for new blood.Unfortunately the issue here is that unless we are selling one of Kane, son, lo celso or a couple others depending on personal preference then it's unlikely that a club equal or better than us will want them so the players aren't that keen on moving and we also have a chairman who won't sell players at market value instead he tries to get his estimated value.
Combine those two elements and it's the reason why there will be no real squad overhaul so unfortunately unless we get lucky with another Porch it's back to pre poch era where CL qualification was a dream.

Whilst I'm certain it has an effect, this club has just built a state of the art stadium that is going to be a money maker once we are allowed to return to normality. Can't the club for once just over stretch and make significant investment?
Spot on. Mabye you ahouldI think most agree that a fair chunk of our squad ‘could’ be sold for the right offer, or if the right player were available to replace
We definitely lack 2 or 3 things In my opinion
Firstly a shit hot spine - we have a striker and that’s it really. Need a proper midfielder, a proper centre back and I hate to say this but an upgrade on lloris
Secondly - we need leaders - I mean proper leaders that will give this lot a kick up the arse
Finally - we need experience - again players that have actually been there and done it. Players that would give this lot a serious ‘you haven’t done shit’ conversation
Only then do I genuinely feel we will see the best of the rest in our squad
It will be a very interesting summer to follow........
