If Capoue can play CB competently that could beenough I suppose, with Fryers giving extra cover (making 12 HG in total)

I'd replace Gomes with a youngster (making 13 HG in total). 3rd choice keepers are very very rarely needed.

I'd lodge Livermore and Parker as surplus (making 11 HG).

That's the 25 (11 HG).

Benny to go if that's the case. Possibly Fryers covering there too.

Then if possible i'd replace Defoe and Naughton. The latter with someone who is competent at CB too. (9 HG).

If Bale leaves, Ince to come in

I've heard Capoue played quite a bit at CB for Toulouse this last season. But I have no idea how good he is there.

I think Gomes should go. PSV were after him? Replace with young English keeper.

It saddens me to see Parker go, but he doesn't fit into a 433 as well and tbh he's too good a player to leave to rot in reserves.

Seeing as it appears they are considering trying Livermore out at CB and seeing as how changing Fryers training has apparently improved him massively, I'd be inclined to stick with Livermore for now.

Benny I would say is gone. He tweeted as much the other day,

Naughton - most say sell

i must confess that i have never heard anyone say we should sell naughton.... seems like good flexible back up to me.

is this a joke ?

you want ince as our signing to replace bale?

willian or lamela please

You're probably looking at any of Hudd/Parker/Livermore going by Sept 1.
Naughton will be safe for now as RB cover.

No, I don't think we will 'replace' Blae with one player.

As it is we have signed Chadli, and have Townsend back from loan. With the addition of a young English player like Ince that would mean 3 players in for wide positions to Bale's 1. Not that Bale played wide much anyway.

It would also boost our HG quota. You can't just keep buying foreign players - you are only allowed 17 and we are up to 15 as it stands.

Gomes is a possible. But very brave to bring Archer or Miles into the fray.

"No, I don't think we will 'replace' Blae with one player."

When did Tottenham sign Blae? I know these transfers can be concluded quickly but I must have missed that one

Just thought I'd chime in - by that definition, Sigurdsson counts as a homegrown player, having come through Reading's youth system.

So he did - good news

*Updated

I thought Siggy came through at Hoffenheim

A quick wiki says i'm mistaken

Home grown Siggy

Carroll could replace one of the English midfileders, although we are well stocked now and need a more attacking player if anything. Probably Non-HG.

===========================

carroll is just the type of player we need.

it's just a question of whether he is ready (with a slight question as to whether he's good enough).
