If the coach and the club have made it clear to him he’s expendable then what can he do. He’s definitely an obvious one to move on to free up a squad spot.
Make a sign that says Argentina, Golf, Tottenham?

Their official announcement quoted that we paid €60 mill with an additional €10 mil in add ons but I’d imagine Levy has structured the deal very shrewdly so we’ll likely have that transfer paid off by 2030
Dragon is on point on everything! Not sure about LB though, as that is one area Josè is happy with. And we have extremely high hopes for the youngster (name slipped me) Josè has been raving about publicly and privately.
Thanks! That’s the one?I assume that's Cirkin
Pretty sure we didnt have any Castagne links by ITK or media that we actually want him, only that he would like to join us.Pretty sure I’ve read that Castagne can also play on the left. Seems like it would be smart to get him in as the second RB (if we can afford it) and then have cover in two positions.
Hmmm it's not a bad thought as Zaha could replace Lamela and be support striker to Kane plus he's home grown but U think itd be too difficult to do.
@llsanjay negative rating for just stating a fact? I would attach the link to Lyons official website showing the facts but it’s most likely against rules for this thread.Their official announcement quoted that we paid €60 mill with an additional €10 mil in add ons but I’d imagine Levy has structured the deal very shrewdly so we’ll likely have that transfer paid off by 2030
adjectiveSo if Ben Davies got injured would he play Cirkin? I find it unlikely, we'd probably have Tanganga at left back which is deeply suboptimal.
Unless it is correct that we do highly rate Cirkin then we’re probably willing to give him a chance. Still a massive risk considering he hasn’t played a minute of senior football thoughSo if Ben Davies got injured would he play Cirkin? I find it unlikely, we'd probably have Tanganga at left back which is deeply suboptimal.

Completely agree. I think it's become increasingly clear that our inability (or lack of will) to move players on was a big part of our failure to push on after the 3rd year under Poch. We were far too passive in the market when we should have been active - even if that meant selling some players that were actually solid squad members (or even fan favourites).All ITK seems to be clear on one thing - Jose is well aware of our weaknesses, and appears to be insistent that they are addressed, now.
The more I’ve thought about it, the smarter it seems to let players like Lamela leave now. It feels like every window we’ve had for the last five years has been scuppered by “deadwood”, needing players off the wage bill / squad roster but being unable to shift them due to them being past their prime and not worth what Levy wants for them.
I’ve no doubt we’d be facing the same situation with Lamela 12/18/24 months down the line, and realistically with Toby in the same timeframe, so it seems smart to be actively looking at replacements now.
It’s certainly a change of direction in our transfer strategy, if it comes off, but I can’t imagine Jose being particularly compromising when it comes to getting players in the right positions to fulfill the club’s objectives.
Is Aarons even that short? Wikipedia has him at 5ft10 (same as Kyle Walker), and Aurier at 5ft9, Rose 5ft8. Keep seeing it mentioned so checked expecting him to be a dwarf. Maybe it’s wrong, but seen that height elsewhere too.
