Deadwood Got To Go

They say that a lot of squad upheaval over the summer is bad for the team, but I think this summer we have got to get the squad right once and for all.


Normally, I would never recommend a huge reshuffle in the summer at Spurs, as there is always so much instability at the club, but this time around there is SO much deadwood that I would happily see 10 plus out the door!

bring 5 in, and promote 5 from youth so complete the squad.


the following names make for depressing reading - especially as they are eating up the majority of the wage bill I would expect.


Absolute Deadwood

Kaboul - free
Adebayor - 1 mill
Paulinho - might get 10 mill from some muggy serie a side
Soldado - 8 mill from spain
Capoue (forgot we even had this guy ! ) - 5 mill


Jury Very much out - wouldn't care if they were moved on

Lamela - 10 mill from serie a
Townsend - some silly English team like qpr would pay 15mill
Chiriches - 5mill
Stambouli - 4 mill
Vertonghen - clearly good enough but his attitude is so bad that his talent is meaningless, couldn't care less if he goes. - 10 mill
Fazio - don't mind him actually.. but 3rd or 4th choice

Others

Dembele - would just about keep him
Carrol - no idea what will happen with him
Holtby - what is happening with him?
Lennon - 5 mill



depressing how much of the wage bill that lot is taking up !


Levy has to shift this lot out... even if some of them are at a loss...

Edin,

Totally agree. Stats are good to get an overview of what is happening but they do not tell the full story - not by far.

I was hoping Fazio was going to prove me wrong on Saturday but he was simply awful again.

Am I being biased or did you also see anything positive?

Serious question...

Chicken

He was dreadful as usual and for the ones who rate him seem to point out how good in the air he is but he didn't even get of the ground for the goal

Never have seen what people see in him at all

Really need to move on from the Schneiderlin deal. It's not as if it was even close to the line was it? In fact I don't recall negotiations even beginning....

Don still crying about schneiderlein

plus stambouli hasn't even been given any kind of run so don't think any of us know how good he is or isn't.


chicken do you have anything to say about your pal Andros townsend being absolute waaaank as usual on Saturday.


sadly the competition for his place is from lamela, who is even worse.

Chronic,

I agree that Townsend was extremely poor on Saturday. I've never seen Kane look so uninterested - Bentaleb, Eriksen, Chadli, all in really bad form too.

Kane is looking like the Kane of 2 years ago - clumsy
