Controversial opinion

[Gassin's finest]

I think Cuti, Lo Celso and Bissouma are already in last chance saloon.

I think Lo Celso is either hiding the need for or refusing to have surgery for an ongoing injury he has.

Bissouma and Cuti just can't stop themselves from making stupid and needless challenges.

There's the potential to bring some big money in the summer - I think Ange takes it.

That's an interesting take, actually. I can see it.

No player should be above being moved on if there’s a chance to improve on them.

My controversial opinion - I think Davies should keep his starting spot until he has a downturn in form. VDV has been exceptional and has huge potential to improve, he also has the insane physical attributes that Davies lacks. But. As a relatively new manager building an ethos and still putting his stamp down I think it sends a really strong message to the whole team that there are no guarantees and that if you come in, get your head down, work hard and put in great performances you can get into the side.

I actually know that my opinion is pretty ridiculous but I genuinely feel like it's the "right" thing to do at this moment in time. However, managers have short expiry dates and you want to put out the side you feel is most capable of winning football matches. I honestly just feel like it would send a real message to everybody and might actually be beneficial in the long term.

Davies is out for weeks with a hamstring injury.

It’s a fair enough opinion. Plus it would have give VDV time to properly make sure he was recovered.

Davies is injured too now though.

Lo Celso is a different case, but the thing with Romero and Bissouma is that they are absolute quality additions to the squad if you remove their discipline issues. Bissouma had only had one red card in all his time in the Premier League prior to this season also so whether it's an 'issue' still remains to be seen really.

I'd be shocked if consider selling either in the summer IMO, when their additions would be very much part of an impressive squad we're building. Their qualities make them worth persevering with a little bit and trying to work with to better them in certain areas. I think at this stage it would feel like giving ourselves unnecessary work to do in the summer.

I'm just not sure anyone advocates Bissouma leaving in the summer if he was still in his pre-Luton form, which he may very well rediscover this season.

Not had the best season so far, but I like Oliver Skipp, think he will only get better and we should keep him.

Get the impression that since most of the players that would get a fair amount of stick have now left the club, Skipp has become the main target.

All down to Ange if he thinks he’s worth developing in his system, and I’m okay with that, just think at the very least we should all back the kid, he’s one of our own.

I don't think there's any ill-feeling towards Skipp, I just think that there is a belief he's not going to ever be a first-choice starter.

Go read the last match thread. Someone even called him a prick!

Means nothing mate. I’ve read people calling Kane a prick when he was here. Being a Spurs fan comes with uncontrollable emotions at times. Son has been called a few things for pulling out of challenges too. Although I can’t speak on the thoughts/realities of those making those statements, I think it’s quite normal to lash out (verbally) when you feel a player is not doing his part to help the team.

Funny enough (in the same thread) they praise said player within 3 minutes of the abuse when the player either scores/makes an incredible pass/block/tackle or save!
