Think people sometimes forget that Sessegnon is only 18 years old. Also put up some decent stats in a side that was completely bereft of fight and direction.
There's not much creativity in there.Here's my dream Tottenham rebuild....
My INS would be Sancho, Grealish, NDombele, AWB, Daniel James, and Max Kruse on a free.
My OUTS would be Eriksen, Toby, Trips, Wanyama, Lamela, Janssen, Nkoudou, Vorm, Llorente, (possibly Aurier)
I'd be content with giving Aurier another go and looking to offload him in the Winter if he's surplus.
Shift all the dead wood and rebuild the team.
GK: Lloris, Gaz, Whiteman
RB: AWB, KWP, *Aurier*
RCB: Sanchez, Foyth
LCB: Verts, (Davies)
LB: Rose, Davies
CM/CDM: Ndombele, Sissoko, Winks, Dier
LAM - Son, James
CAM - Dele, Grealish
RAM - Sancho, Lucas, Edwards
ST - Kane, Kruse
Lloris
AWB Sanchez Verts Rose
NDombele Sissoko
Sancho Dele Son
Kane
So we are loaded
We should spend
I agree, Sissoko is a symptom of what's going wrong with our play. Our form has dropped since he has been our starting midfielder as we don't have the technical ability in CM to control our play. Having someone have the occasional lung busting run looks impressive as we're either playing a CB there in Dier or a AM in Dele or Eriksen there who aren't 100% comfortable playing with someone who lacks the tactical discipline. It's also no surprise that our form has dropped since Dembele stopped playing.I would argue that "what Sissoko does best" isn't really needed if we have some actual quality CMs who can pass and control the ball reliably and usefully. The only reason he's played so much in CM this season is because of circumstance, not because he's great there.
I recognize the improvement however and think he deserves to be in the mix.
Should Eriksen move to Real, I hope we can involve this guy in the deal...
I actually think we should try Sissoko at RB, he spends most of his time covering Trippier and Aurier and is better going forward than both of them, time to stop using him as a crutch for players who aren’t good enough in that position, move him there and replace him in CM.I agree, Sissoko is a symptom of what's going wrong with our play.

Been saying exactly the same the last few games. Absolute tank of a player who would bomb on and beat a man unlike trippier with his pure power and pace like his bursts through the middle.I actually think we should try Sissoko at RB, he spends most of his time covering Trippier and Aurier and is better going forward than both of them, time to stop using him as a crutch for players who aren’t good enough in that position, move him there and replace him in CM.
na mate - just know that we have HG issues at the mo and those ratios could be getting tougher....so let's plan ahead for once!Wow I see Brexit has infected the transfer thread and we are going full English in our transfer targets. Ok I counter with the Remainiac wishlist of Brandt, Havertz and N’Dombele. ?
Except I don't think u-21s count so Sessegnon bros and Rice don't help us next season.na mate - just know that we have HG issues at the mo and those ratios could be getting tougher....so let's plan ahead for once!
I’d rather deal with any issues around HG by getting rid of non-HG who don’t cut it, the list of those is quite lengthy - Vorm, Aurier, Wanyama, Lamela, Llorente and I’d add in Moura although I know many wouldn’t. Add in the likely departures of Eriksen and Toby and I think we are very far from having any issues with HG quota. We should only buy HG where we get the requisite quality at a sensible price, beyond this our HG should largely come from the academy.na mate - just know that we have HG issues at the mo and those ratios could be getting tougher....so let's plan ahead for once!
Fekir will be entering the last year of his contract in the summer. Surely an option we look at
Rafa leaving Newcastle rumours could mean we pick at some of their potentially unhappy players, lascelles anyonena mate - just know that we have HG issues at the mo and those ratios could be getting tougher....so let's plan ahead for once!

Lascelles and I might get slack for this but Perez would be my two picks.
Perez certainly won't set the world on fire, but he is good for 5-10 goals a season off the bench as back up to Kane and he can chip in with an assist or two here and there too. He can play centrally and off the wing so he is versatile.
Would be as effective as Llorente has been but at a much younger age. Wouldn't cost an arm and a leg either, think his current market value is £10 million.
