Man Utd are set to renew their in interest in Eric Dier by tabling a £55m bid for the midfielder in the summer however Spurs chairman Daniel Levy is reluctant to sell any players to a direct rival.

I’d be amazed if they didn’t come back in for him to be fair. Wouldn’t sell at all though.

Keep everyone we want to keep, including Rose and Toby.

Next season let’s assume Aurier and Moura are up to speed, Wanyama is back to his best and Rose returns to last seasons form.

If all that happens, and obviously that’s far from a certainty, we really do not need much at all.

I’d love an established, top class, clever and technically brilliant centre midfielder. I think that’s where our focus should be.

Competition/cover for Kane is hard to find but would be great.

Went on Fulham forum and they seem to agree that sessegnon is overated

Over-rated is one of the most worthless words in describing a footballer. Almost no footballer in history has ever been rated exactly to the level he is at.

If sess is getitng more plaudits than he should get right now it doesn't mean he isn't quality or has a lot of potential.

Checked their forum and not read a single post writing him off as over-rated.

http://www.cottagecorner.org/forum/showthread.php?tid=7344

Everybody has seen what a good player he is and if we can keep him for a few seasons and he makes the same level of progress he is making now he will be worth £100m by then and he may get us to a a very high position in the Premier League which will force the historically top teams to pay well over the odds for him to stop us doing a Leicester.

I wish the manager would not keep suggesting our young genius should go to Russia because if he does he will have the City, United, Liverpool and Chelsea players whispering in his ear "what are you wasting your time playing for a little team like Fulham when you can play for us"

If he goes to Russia and gets game time; the £50m could be surpassed; there is a logic in 'his madness'.

He is probably our biggest asset and every time he plays he seems to make the headlines. It doesn't seem to matter how many players try to mark him out of the game he just gets on with it.

He's definately had the least number of shots!! Hopefully there will be a bidding war, I expect Sess to finish top scorer in the Championship.

Sess is definitely a great player, not trying to say Otherwise. All I’m saying is a lot of his shots and goals have been as a poacher. As opposed to other strikers who maybe are playing up top on their own and have to take a lot of tough shots to generate goals.

Response to Tony Mac: He's better, 17 years old, loads of potential.

Vidal would replace Dembele or Dier
Which established young player would he replace that worries you? Dier?? He's 10x better

When Wanyama is back being fully fit, he's a better DM than Dier. So essentially Vidal would be coming to replace Wanyama and thats only for a couple of seasons, at best. What would we do with Wanyama in the interim?

I know that we all have our own opinions on incomings and outgoings, but we have more important positions to improve at than DM at the moment plus I'm not too keen on getting in players who are past their best unless its for a short term at a position that we are currently weak at, and without having to pay high wages (though I admit that I don't know what his wages are or what amount he'd want if he came to us).

TBH I only mentioned Dier because you talked about replacing a young player. Vidal would replace Dembele imo, not Dier or Wanyama. He's a CM, not a DM

If we are playing the who goes, who stays game...

Alderweireld can go as long as Poch plucks up the courage to tell Dier he's not a CM. Rose can fuck off and stink out Mourinho's dressing room. Nkoudou can go. China isn't far enough for Sissoko.

CM's, cm's, cm's cm's. I want at least two CM's.
Dier's terrible. Dembele plays about 5 great games a season and three of them only last 60 minutes. I don't think Poch is ever going to give Onomah what he needs to prove good enough or not, and even if he was prepared to give Winks a better shot, I'm not convinced Winks will ever be top drawer. But I'd be happy of we kept either of these two around as well.

And I would like some composure and brains for the final third. Fekir, Draxler, Forsberg, Di Maria. Lamela, Alli, Son, Moura are all too erratic and unreliable. If we have to lose one of them to make way, I'd probably go for Lamela.

And those 4 are not erratic and unreliable??
Di Maria and brains are not two words I expected to see together
Forsberg is average
Draxler players a bit deeper.
Fekir is the only one I think could work, but he's not very consistent.

I know. But the others I mentioned are not ready.
I think keeping Llorente for a season until Arp or Dolberg are ready is the smartest choice.
We won't get much selling him, and he's apparently a good character in the group. So I see no issue in keeping him for at least one more season.
I think if he were any more laid back, he'd be horizontal. I will be pissed off if he is here next season.

Unless Dier is going to play at centre back, I would like to move him on.

Di Maria and brains are not two words I expected to see together
In a midfield 3, I think he was devastating. Other than that, I find BC's opinion a little baffling.

I will be straight with you, @Shadydan. I don't like Alli, don't like his style of play.

How do you see his game?

Made this point in another thread:

If you take Alli out the team you don't get the most out of Kane, those two have built up a telepathic partnership over the last 2.5 years for a start. Not to mention his partnership with Eriksen, the off the ball runs, his link up play, mentality...We would miss Alli in our team more then people actually realise.

People want to drop Alli because we now have options in Lamela and Lucas which is fine but to me it smack od shiny new toy syndrome especially with Lucas.

I wanted him dropped before those 2 became available and, funnily enough, I don't think he has a telepathic relationship with Kane these days. Ever since Kane went stratospheric, I think Alli has gone in the other direction, for whatever reason. Maybe it's the pressure, maybe he has become predictable.

Dele Setup Kane for 2 chances against Juve to put him 1on1 with the keeper, 1 he scored and 1 he missed.

Lolmao at people who don’t rate Alli and want to keep Lamela and Lucas over him. I can’t understand how anyone can have that opinion...

How an earth is Fekir not consistent? He must average nearly a goal/assist per game, from AM. I think his attitude might be an issue, but not his consistency.

He might not be the brightest human being but in footballing terms Di Maria got more about him than the likes of Moura or Lamela and is more composed on the ball than Son and he’s not lazy either, he’d work harder than Son or Alli do. There’s a good reason why his CV says Real, ManU and PSG.

Draxler only plays deeper at PSG because they’ve spunked gazillions on other AM’s.

Forsberg you might have a point, I didn’t realise he was 26, I thought he was much younger, and had potential to improve.
