“And, the Europa League – if we play the Europa League – we need to play to win.”
Walker unlikely to start the season. Yedlin not to join until January and even then a loan for the rest of the PL season seems likely, so I'd expect Naughton to go nowhere. I expect us to shift a central defender though, and agree about the midfielders you mention.Makes perfect sense; every Spurs fan knows our squad is too big & needs to be leaner.
I would bin Naughton, Sandro, Dawson, Paulinho, Kaboul. I feel from what I've seen that they don't fit into the high intensity, high speed philosophy we're trying to implement.
I just think we need to be more ruthless regarding how we operate in terms of what we want to achieve & how we go about that.
We have a manager now who is make all the right noises; he wants achieve greatness & do it with flair. Let us now allow him to mould a squad that is capable of achieving that greatness.
Pritchard's at Brentford.Dawson and Ekotto to go plus two of Sandro/Paulinho/Dembele if Schneiderlin joins. Probably Carroll and/or Mason out on loan, maybe even Pritchard too.
Still potential to see one of Kaboul/Chiriches go too if Musacchio comes in, and Pochettino is happy with Dier & Fryers providing backup.
