OUT: Vorm, Llorente, Janssen, GKN, Trippier, Aurier
IN: N'dombele, Wan-Bissaka, a HG 3rd keeper (promote from academy if we can't find one)
GK: Lloris, Gazzaniga, ?? (HG)
RB: Wan-Bissaka (HG), KWP (HG*)
CB: Verts, Toby, Sanchez, Foyth
LB: Rose (HG*), Davies (HG)
DM: Dier, Wanyama
CM: N'dombele, Winks (HG*), Sissoko, Skipp (HG*)
AM: Eriksen, Dele (HG), Lamela, Lucas, Son
CF: Kane (HG*)
makes up a 23-man squad with 9 homegrowns players of which 5 of them are trained by club. if wanyama cannot recover from his injury then sell, go for Doucouré as replacement. since its a wish list probably won't happen lol

I don’t know why you keep arguing. My opinion is we won’t stump up the cash needed to prise them away. You’ve literally given reasons why we won’t. Just because we spent 40m on Sanchez doesn’t mean we’re gonna spend 50m each on these two in the summer. Let alone having to address other areas of the team.

I don't think the homegrown issue will be nearly as much of a problem next season as it has been over the past two. We'll go into next season with Dembele, Vorm, and Llorente gone for sure and likely GKN, Janssen, and quite possibly the likes of Wanyama, Aurier, Toby, and Eriksen as well. That's a lot of non-HG players who will have left which gives us more breathing room.
As far as incomings and outgoings, here's my ever-so-optimistic wishlist:
At fullback, I'd look to shift both Aurier and Trippier to make space for a new RB. I'd also either look to sell Davies for a new LB or move Davies to LCB (where I thought he played very well during our defensive injury crisis earlier in the season), and bring in a pacier option to compete with Rose. Poch's system is totally hamstrung by fullbacks who lack the pace to get up and down the pitch, and it's got to be rectified.
In midfield, we've already sold Dembele and Wanyama and Dier, on current form, aren't good enough. I'd look to sell Wanyama for what we can, and shift Dier back to CB as the de facto Alderweireld replacement, then bring in both a No. 8 and a No. 6. I'd also be tempted to sell Sissoko if the right offer came in for him -- much like Trippier last summer, his value will never be higher than it is going to be in the coming window. Poch seems dead-set on getting a top player at that position, so moving Sisssoko on would provide us with some much needed funds.
Last summer Poch wanted a pacey wide forward who can also slot in up top. None of GKN, Janssen, or Llorente are good enough and that one signing would effectively replace all three, so it would still be on my wishlist.
Poch also wanted Grealish as an Eriksen deputy. If Eriksen does leave then we'd obviously need a replacement (which we'd hopefully be able to get in part exchange in the form of Isco, James, or Kovacic), but I think a second option there would be ideal in either scenario. The quality of our performances ebbs and flows in direct relationship to Eriksen's form, and being so dependent on one individual for rhythm and tempo is not a good situation to be in. I think we need to look to shift Lamela and use those funds on a second playmaker who can give us more of what Eriksen provides.
Given how completely terrible we've been at both sales and purchases for years now it's pretty much impossible to see us getting all of that done. My top priorities (aside from replacing Eriksen if need be) would be upgrading the wingbacks and a No. 6, which seems far more doable. The rest would be nice but I think we've shown that we can get by without it.

Would love a new no1 keeper as lloris is on the decline, but there are bigger holes to fill so maybe not the summer. Gazza fine. Vorm to leave.
Happy for one or both of trippier and aurier to go. Wan bissaka would be great but not sure palace will sell cheap if at all. Haven't seen much of aarons but lots of buzz around him, could be a rotation option with kwp. Lets go yoof and pace here regardless, a football brain and ability to take a throw in would be helpful.
Rose to stay, davies to go. I'm still a fan of sessegnon, so hope fulham go down and we can get it over the line. Could also play further forward.
I really hope we can get toby to stay. Then we'd be fine at centreback. If not, we'd need to get a cb as a priority. Sanchez not consistent enough for me. Be honest I'm not sure who'd be a good option. I've always liked lascelles but not sure he's top 6 material.
We need a midfield destroyer. I'm happy for dier to stay as he is versatile and an absolute warrior when he's in his pomp and can cover 3 positions... Really rate gueye at everton, but i know psg are sniffing. Wanyama is ready for the fork.
Winks, sissoko and skipp are fine in midfield, and I'm a fan of onomah as a potential dembele replacement. But a pass master is needed desperately. Would look to the continent for a player of this ilk.
Eriksen is leaving imo. Don't expect him to re sign. So need a good quality 10 as well as dele as an attack minded midfielder. I really like dack at blackburn but not sure he's a poch player at all. Like the look of roles as well but might be too high risk for poch, he seems to prefer steadier youngsters with work rate and some defensive nous. Edit - brooks at bournemouth. Looks a cracking player. Be 3 x what bournemouth paid at least but i think he's shown he is worth it
I really like lamela but he's clearly not in peak condition. Might be time up for him. Moura I'm not convinced with but I'd give him more time. Gkn not good enough simple.
Kane, nuff said. Ditto son. Llorente and janssen to go. Sterling not good enough either. Hopefully Parrott will get some opportunities next year. A forward who can play across the pitch and behind kane as well as up top would be better than an out and out cf.
In order of priority: cm, am, dm, versatile forward, cb, lb, rb, gk.
I'd move cb as a priority above forward if toby goes. Midfield must be sorted whatever. Dip your hand in ya wallet levy!
Assuming he does, might take until summer of 2020 to trim the fat and complete the upgrades.
Final point. I'm a fan of buying young and british players where possible, just like we used to. Lots of buzz on here and in media about clarke from Leeds. I've yet to see him. What type of player is he?

Yes, it should. And with that, don't really think there's a need for a "Transfers" section anymore.

Okay, but if you had to pick *checks notes,* none of those to purchase a replacement for, who would it be?

A better LB than Davies, assuming Rose continues his 10 games a season ratio
A better RB than any we have
At least one top tier CB to replacement our ageing first choice CBs (one probably leaving)
A few top tier midfielders to replace Dembele, Wanyama and the outgoing Eriksen
A more dynamic youthful backup for Kane that means there is the option to rest him before injury
Challenge on, net spend 0 that lot Baldrick

I'd love it if we got him but Palace will charge a fortune for Wan-Bissaka if they even let him go. Other teams in the top 6 also have needs at RB and will pay more. I don't see how he's attainable for us.
If Norwich screw up promotion I can see us going after Max Aarons. We've already been linked with him and we should be able to get him. If we do anything at RB I think he'll be the target.

Vorm - release him, replace from development/academy options deemed good enough, or else bring in a homegrown option.
Alderweireld - expecting him to go, we should replace him with an up and coming LCB to understudy Vertonghen, as Sanchez and Foyth are naturally RCB.
Wanyama - if he’s past his injuries, I’d still see a space for him, but in reality replacing him with a more progressive (in possession) DM should be our best option. Berge stands out.
Eriksen - again, another I’m expecting to leave, we should be looking for a suitable LCM for the way Poch seems to want to play, technically able, workrate and physicality. Rabiot ideal, but failing that scour the Bundesliga.
Llorente - replace with a Son’esque player, someone who is able to fill in for Kane, but also capable of slotting in alongside him or as a WF in order to get minutes on the park for sharpness. Werner seems the obvious choice.
You’d also have Nkoudou and Janssen leaving.
I’d contemplate letting one of the senior RB’s go too, assuming we felt we had a backup option to provide some depth behind Walker-Peters and whichever other remained. Longer view, a new LB with the dynamism Poch requires, and the durability. That could wait a season though, don’t want too many changes at once.
GK - Lloris, Gazzaniga, Austin
RB - Trippier, Aurier, Walker-Peters
LB - Rose, Davies, (Georgiou)
RCB - Sanchez, Foyth, Carter-Vickers
LCB - Vertonghen, New LCB
DM - Dier, Berge, (Skipp)
RCM - Sissoko, Onomah
LCM - Rabiot, Winks, (Amos)
RWF - Lamela, Moura, (Edwards)
LWF - Alli, Son, (Roles)
CF - Kane, Werner, (Sterling)
25 man squad, 10 of which are homegrown.
I’d add in Georgiou (as a LB project), Skipp, Amos, Edwards, Roles and Sterling to first team squad, all homegrown and I don’t believe they’d need listing due to their age. Show our best prospects plus others we are interested in, that we provide a pathway.
Enough positional flexibility in that squad to switch between 3421, 4231, 442 (diamond) and 433.

I would think Wanyama maybe one of our senior players out the door, not a shadow of his former self and we really do need to build a midfield
I guess he will have the rest of the season to save his career at Spurs but cant see it happening, unfortunately.

Spurs Chat is the place for this now
But outgoings: Wanyama, Janssen, Trippier, Aurier, Davies, GKN, Vorm. Probably Toby and Eriksen leave as well. Possibly Lamela and Llorente.
Incomings: CB, RB, LB, 2 CM’s, 1 maybe 2 AM, 1 maybe 2 WF/ST
We could be looking at a huge overhaul in one summer as we’ve neglected to take care of things gradually. So we’ll be lucky to be as good next year as huge overhauls never really work well first year. Only thing we have going really is that only Toby and Eriksen are really crucial to the XI of the bunch

Keepers: Lloris, Gazzaniga, promoted youth keeper or any other British U21 keeper
Full backs: KWP, Aurier, Rose, Davies - Stick with what we've got incomings wise but sell one of the RBs, Trippier would be my choice.
Centre backs: Sanchez, Vertonghen, Dier, Foyth, Eyoma - Toby will go, i'd replace with Dier and Foyth with Davies as back 3 cover.
Centre Mids: Winks, Skipp, Sissoko, Amos, 2 new CMs. 1 needs to be a complete CM and the other more of an Eriksen replacement
AMs: Alli, Lamela, Moura
Forwards: Kane, Son, new forward. New Son-esque forward definitely needed to replace Llorente, Janssen and GKN.
Outs: Vorm, Trippier, Wanyama, GKN, Llorente, Janssen
In suggestions: Berge/Weigl for DM, Aouar/Bruno Fernandes/Ceballos as CMs, Werner/Pepe/Kean for forward, Ziyech/Isco as wildcard options
Minimum of three signings needed, but another AM would probably be handy making that 4. If Dier is to be used as a CM (something I don't agree with) then a CB needs to be brought in.
