Llorente and Vorm both need to be replaced with homegrown players. There are roughly 4,931 English strikers that could do what Llorente does for us. I'm tired of hearing about the homegrown quota.
Parrott??

Pretty sure HG players have to be 21+Parrott??
Agree, the original poster imo got Vertonghen wrong and imo hopefully eriksen wrong. However the squad(not the first 11) is needing a huge rebuild.
We are due to get rid of:
Llorente
Janssen
Nkoudou
Wanyama
Vorm
One of Trippier or Aurier
Meanwhile these players future's dont look secure
Alderweireld
Dembele
Rose(given injury record)
Its not crazy to think we will lose 8 players this summer, now other than Toby, it won't effect our first 11 as we have been without a lot of these players this season. We will need to rebuild our squad regardless
The only 3 of significance that may leave the club in the next 7 months are Toby dembele eriksen. Dembele we basically know will go and a replacement will be bought. The other 2 fingers crossed. But if anyone of significance leaves they will be replaced. The club is bigger than any player.*
*Apart from Kane eriksen dele and Son ?
Saying that I think it will be a busy 7 months my guesses who will leave are one of trippier/Aurier Alderweireld Vorm wanyama dembele llorente Nkoudou janssen Onomah Ccv. And I’d guess 4 or 5 in.
See my post #28 on the previous page. If we release/otherwise lose the players we expect to, the squad has none of its current overpopulation issues.Pretty sure HG players have to be 21+
I'm sure many people thought it would be impossible to replace King and Modric and Bale, but here we are with a team competing at a higher level than those teams of the past.
The thought of replacing Eriksen is certainly a daunting one but is by no means beyond us. Remember that we managed to buy Eriksen in the first place. He has become a world class player during his time at Spurs for sure, but there's nothing that says we can't unearth the next emerging Eriksen or that we won't be able to buy a more established player in his position.
I think it would be a huge shame if Toby leaves but we have already had a season of Sanchez playing ahead of Toby anyway so I don't think that's too much of an emergency. We will need extra cover if he leaves, but I don't think we would need to buy a 50m CB or anything like that.
We've got one of the best "cores" that we've had for a very long time, and in theory the new stadium will be an added incentive for top quality players to stay/join so we are looking at the best position of recruitment that we've had for a long time. It's a challenge for sure, but not something that we need to worry about in my opinion.
Both right footed so hopefully not, a decent left footer is what we need to replace / cover Verts.how much are we looking at for eriksen with one year left on his contract? 60m?
vertonghen's situation seems to have flown under the radar too, no different to alderweireld's except that there's no release clause come the summer. it probably wouldn't be worth it to us to sell a 32 year old so will probably walk free at 33, by which time sanchez and foyth will hopefully be ready as 1st choice pairing going forward.
Pretty sure HG players have to be 21+
They do not.U21's don't take up a squad place do they?
