What players will leave in the summer?

[edson]

I know its been done before but the other day i had a bit of time on my hands so i thought i would write down who i think will be off in the summer and before i knew it i had 12 players going, this don't sound right to me but see what you think.
Bentley
O`hara=Sad to see him leave never played in his best position AM.
Keane=Should never have come back.
Santos
Alnwick=has never been good enough
Pav=Don't get why people love him so much, even his own players don't know how to play with him.
Kranjcar=Not happy and i don't blame him.
Bassong=Same reason as Kranjcar.
Naughton=too many Rb at the club.
Hutton=not good enough defensively.
Livermore=has not pushed on in his development time to say goodbye.
Rose=This is a player harry might keep around a bit longer but in the long term will not make it at Spurs.

 

[Azrael]

So basically same list as usual.

If it were up to me, I would sell all the above plus Defoe, but to be honest I can't see us getting rid of Keane, Defoe and Pav in one window. I think Kranjcar will move on, which is a shame, but I do think in the long run Pienaar's energy makes him a better option from the bench.

I can. Crouch ultimately is the onlyu oen who offers something obvious due to his abilities in Europe.

Of the three I think Pav is the one most likely to stay. If Harry has now dropped golden boy Defoe to the bench in favour of Pav, a player he has largely avoided for two and a half years, then I reckon that means that unless Defoe has a miracle turnaround in form his days at Tottenham are up.

Yes but to move 12 players on is going to take some doing and you know DL he will want them off the books before we buy.

For once, if Harry means what he says and is not just playing to the media I am hoping that Redknapp might verbally slap DL around a bit and convince him to maybe pay before the whole lot are shifted.

Levy's comments about streamlining suggest that he will be looking to get rid of a lot of the underused squad players, and to be honest we could sell everyone from the list above without it having any impact on our first team what so ever

Would have loved to have put JJ name on that list but did not want to start a War.

Bentley
O`hara=Sad to see him leave never played in his best position AM. Agree - but never prepared to be a squad player:hello:
Keane=Should never have come back. How many times does it have to be yes - his performances were not that bad until he began being dropped for Defoe, and he was brought back for his influence off the pitch as well as on it. It worked. He had an influence in turning the club around - would you really rather that hadn't happened:shrug:
Santos Gio Dos Santos - his ass is gone already.
Alnwick=has never been good enough :hello:
Pav=Don't get why people love him so much, even his own players don't know how to play with him. Because he is a likeable chap. Took a while to settle, didn't get a run in the team. Has sown he can get goals and, in recent games, has shown his effort and link-up play have massively improved. Neutral on this one: don't mind if he is sold as long as someone immense replaces him.
Kranjcar=Not happy and i don't blame him. Sadly true.
Bassong=Same reason as Kranjcar. Probably the same. But if Ledders/Woody are put out to pasture it may be a mistake.
Naughton=too many Rb at the club. Can also play left-back. Probably right, but, according to the last report I read form Leicester, Mr Redknapp is still officially undecided whether he will return or be sold.
Hutton=not good enough defensively. And a Dad Basher:grin:
Livermore=has not pushed on in his development time to say goodbye. Probably true.
Rose=This is a player harry might keep around a bit longer but in the long term will not make it at Spurs. Probably true, in both regards. Might suddenly have a 'growth spurt', y'never know - if not he did leave us with one incredible memory.
David Bentley?

Two reasons why we turned it around one we had good players and the other Harry who is a top manager.Anybody could see that Keane was not the same player when he came back he had lost a lot of pace and his first touch had deserted him.I just wish he had turned Liverpool down at the time could have gone down as a Spurs great.

 

[Son_Of]

no mention of players we would definitely want to keep, but still might go...

Do not agree with this at all, IMO Kranjcar is the better option from the bench by far as he is more likely to pop up with a goal (compare their goal scoring records) if we are struggling. Pienaar I can see why he would start some games but it puzzles me as to why he gets on the bench ahead of Niko. We have a large versatile squad and so I cant see why we would need Pienaar on the bench even though 'he covers many positions'.

I agree though that Niko is most likely off, and its a shame.

In answer to OP, thats most probably about right, maybe a surprise name thrown in eg. Defoe as well.

I'm certain the club will listen to offers for the following players and possibly even actively look to sell them;

alnwick pletikosa naughton hutton bassong bentley ohara jenas palacios kranjcar giovani keane defoe pavyuchenko

 

[brett.spurs]

On loan.

I agree with that list except Palacios, I don't think we'd be looking to sell him.

 

[edson]

Just looked it up we brought the keeper fee undisclosed.Palacios is safe would rather sell JJ.

 

[brett.spurs]

I'm sure it's just a loan, we paid £1m to have him for the season.

Ok that's him out in the summer then.

In regard to how well he performed when he came back, I am expressing my opinion, which is that he may not have been the same player but he just plain wasn't as awful as some make out. He performed reasonably well, if not up to the standard he had reached with Berbatov before he left. 'Arry then brought Defoe. Both players hate not starting. 'Arry played them together, and Keane wasn't so bad, again. Then 'Arry (along with a lot of us) decided that Keane/Defoe didn't really work - that is not the same as saying Keane was poor, the formation with two small strikers didn't work. If one of them was going to be dropped it was Keane. He was never the same after that, when I will agree, his performances became not just below the level he reached before he left for Liverpool, but plain unacceptable (I don't think it was helped by some supporters singling him out - at one match I heard a Spurs fan spend most of the match screaming "Keane, Keane, you Irish ****, Keane, You Irish...blah, blah, blah" - is it any wonder his confidence went FFS). The issue was compounded when he instigated DublinGate - he misread his own remit and position (for which see below) within the club, and the temperament of the manager. I really wish fans wouldn't read back from his preformances at this stage to when he first arrived (especially those who compuond it with their continuing anger that he jumped ship to Liverpool in the first place). He played his part, on the pitch, in digging us out of a big, dark hole.

In reagrd to his influence in the dressing room: this is not my opinion, it is what Mr Redknapp has stated several times. He has stated that he brought Keane back as much for his influence off the pitch, especially in the dressing room, as on it. He has also stated that keane's contribution in this was immense. He was instrumental in turning the team spirit around. Mr Redknapp has had no problem in admitting when 'things' just worked-out. I see no reason to accept the argument that some have made that this claim that he brought Keane back for his influence off the pitch, as well as on it, and that it was successful, just to cover his own back.

So, in short, IMHO, Keane may have never reached the level he did beforehe left, but his performances weren't that bad until after he was dropped for Defoe, and in Mr Redknapp's opinion Keane's influence behind the scenes in turning the clubs fortunes around was intended as part of bringing him back, and successful in that intention.

He has faded badly, and I'm not obsessively advocating keeping him 'cos he might come good. Quite happy for the club to sell him, but think some fans want to airbrush history concerning his return, just a bit.

 

[AngerManagement]

just get rid of the players who do not even feature in the squad, maybe a couple of youngsters who have not made the break through and anyone who is going to be replaced and not be squad players.

Keane should be gone, same with O'Hara/GDS/Bentley

I hope we are able to keep Wilson/Niko/Bassong but agree that Krancjar maybe be hard to persuade to stay without regular football.

If Walker is coming back then yea Hutton should probably be sold to make space

I'd like to see Pav and Defoe moved on and replaced with two quality strikers, I guess Crouch is worth keeping as an option.

JJ will leave if he wants first team football. Clearly, he's nowhere near the first 11...

Not just my opinion, Harry has him nowhere near the first 11. Best of luck to him - good servant for the club and has filled out the squad nicely. :clap:
