Got a mate in the airline department. Dier, Wanyama, Sanchez and Rose are all not listed in the flight list. Trippier too, for obvious reasons.

Suprisingly, Foyth is. Would have thought he would be away on holiday as he was away on internationals as were Wanyama and Sanchez.

Good intel, as expected given speculation in last 24 hours and who was on international duty.

Foyth only played 15 games last season for us and with the rumours he has a shot at being first choice right back don’t blame him for cutting holidays short.

Was going to say, it wouldn't surprise me if Foyth had voluntarily cut his holiday short in order to go on the tour and impress Poch. After reading about him doing his own homework on opponents games, it seems like he really has the mentality to reach the top of the game.

Confirmed squad for Asia tour trip on official site:
https://www.tottenhamhotspur.com/news/2019/july/asia-tour-squad-confirmed/

Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Cameron Carter-Vickers will continue their rehabilitation at Hotspur Way.

Vincent Janssen, Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Danny Rose have been granted additional time off in order to explore prospective opportunities with other clubs.

Serge Aurier, Davinson Sanchez and Victor Wanyama will return to Enfield to start pre-season training next week following commitments with their national teams at summer tournaments.

The squad fly to Singapore today for the start of our 2019 Tour where we will take on Juventus (Singapore, Sunday 21 July) and Manchester United (Shanghai, Thursday 25 July).

Looks like it will give an opportunity for someone to stake a LB Claim.

Just hope we dont go and play Foyth RB and KWP LB :cry:

No mention of Tripper at all so i guess that confirms he deal is close.

No left back at all? Probably explains why Foyth was rushed back given he was involved in the Copa America, it looks like we aren't signing a RB, but we MUST sign a LB

Onomah and Edwards days look numbered as well, not even mentioned.

Vorm
Llorente

Janssen
GKN
Rose
Trippier
Onomah
Edwards
Eriksen
Toby


So our squad by the first game could be minus these players (along with Aurier and Wanyama potentially)

Interesting.

Are we really going to go for Davies and Sessegnon as LB options? I can see the logic - Sessegnon could use the gametime if we sign him and should be competent enough to defend against bus-parking teams - but it's a bit of a gamble! Guess we might also see Jan play LB more often especially if e.g. Toby stays, we sign Saliba, and/or Dier starts playing CB again.

If you look at the average positions of our fullbacks the last four or five years they are very often in the opponents half. Plus, Ndombele should help us reestablish control in midfield again.

I think Sessegnon will be a very potent weapon after a little time on the training pitch. The amount of times our FBs got into good positions to cross last season, even without a proper midfield, and did naff-all was mind-boggling.

Sessegnon’s biggest attribute is his final ball. He put so many crosses and cutbacks in last year in poor Fulham side. If we can get him on that overlapping position Poch likes, he could serve Kane up an all-you-can-eat buffet.
