Is everyone thinking we’re going to go into the season with Aurier and Max Aarons as the RBs? No idea what we’re going to have here at this point.

Will be one of Trip/Aurier and KWP imo. Don’t think we’ll fork out the dough to get any decent right back

Wouldn't be surprised if we waited on Aarons for next summer - similar to how we appear to have waited for Ndombele to become available - Norwich clearly don't wish to sell, yet.

I'd like to see Andersen brough in, Toby stay for the season and Foyth given a shot at RB if we aren't going to look at Atal.

If someone added a new manager, took over Man City then purchased K'koudou for £200m like you can in Football Manager then perhaps we would look to upgrade all our positions of weakness of which RB became last season.

But the truth is we have a limited budget and with the prices being thrown around for our two top targets (allegedly) of Ndombele and Lo Celso then the chances of us splashing that sort of cash on a RB seems pie in the sky.

I assume we've made replacing Mousa Dembélé our priority followed by an addition to the front 4 (whether that is dependent on Eriksen leaving I don't know). If as expected Llorente does indeed leave, then we may need to splash some cash to replace him (unless Pochettino sees something immediate in Parrott and Etete that makes them 1st XI worthy this summer).

I think therefore RB is lower down that pecking order and if Trippier or Aurier do leave, I think we'd most likely re-invest their transfer fee on a new RB rather than the crazy sums being thrown at Aaron Wan-Bisaka.

Spurs won't be spending >£50m each on 3 players this summer unless Levy has developed some kind of frontal lobe brain tumour.

I think it is down the pecking order, shouldn't be though. Lining up with the same two full backs again would, imo, be a failure, as they are 2/3 weakest positions. If its what Poch wants however.

The problem is shifting the players on the "sell" list. If there was a taker for Toby, another CB comes in. Takers for Tripps and Aurier, then maybe we'd raise funds for a decent RB. The 3rd player coming in for £50m isn't Levy saying he's not prepared to do that, it's whether the incoming player is worth it. And £70m for AWB isn't. Unless Man U buy him and go on to win the league. Then he was worth every penny...

Have we not had ITK suggesting that we would look to bring in a replacement if Trippier or Aurier were sold? It was a massive weakness last season -- Liverpool's very first action was to send a ball down the left channel for good reason -- and I can't see us leaving it unaddressed if we're able to raise funds by selling Tripps or Aurier.

if 70 mill is the fee, there's no way a spurs fan can justify a club of our stature forking out that kind of money for a RB this season.

That’s very, very harsh on Danny Rose.

After midfield, RB is our weakest position. I wouldn't mind us keeping Serge, loaning out KWP, and selling Tripps. Then, get a fast, attacking RB in; but I don't know whether we can afford to neglect strengthening that position. We lack pace out there, and it shows in our play a lot unfortunately.

Yet we don’t seem to be linked to any rightbacks. Maybe it’s the next position we will go for after midfield is sorted.

However it’s not realistic to bring one in before having one of trippier or aurier sold
