to be expected - we have a squad of deadwood
Remember when Spurs fans thought Lemon > Walcott.
Not sure Vertonghen has got as much ability as people suggest, he's weak in the tackle, weak in the air, has questionable positioning and leadership skills and isn't particularly quick.

As per usual, the reaction to a blip is to throw the baby out with the bathwater.....
If we failed to qualify for the Europa, it's be a great opportunity to have a proper squad haircut, reduce the numbers, promote a couple of youngsters and have a streamlined squad have a real domestic push.
Unfortunatlely we will qualify for it
If Poch were sensible he'd use the Europa to play youngsters as Redknapp did in 2011/12, and keep his core players for the league campaign.
This will not happen, however
As such, we need to have a squad that will be able to combine both Europa and domestic fixtures. That means not having ten new players
Borderline cases need to be kept, and only the most extreme cases should go:
Chiriches - awful in his proper position
Kaboul - not fancied, best days behind him
Capoue - awful
Paulinho - see capoue
Ade - too many bridges burned
Soldado - needs to explaining
Townsend most certainly should not be sold. It would send the wrong impression completely to the younger players, hehas been far from the worst player in that position, and is our only forward with the ability to beat a man with a bit of pace.
Lennon should only be sold if we a player with similar attributes - skill and pace - and ideally PL ready. We look very one-paced at times and have little option to change it up. Personally I think it's pointless selling him.
Lamela is one who I think could be added to the leavers. Time for his 7-game audition to stay to begin at the weekend. Ideally he'd be a stayer.
Fazio and Jan can't leave either. kaboul and Chiriches going would leave us with just Dier otherwise

Poch is stubborn. for stubborn managers its better for them just to select their players.
It's clear the players he doesn't want next summer. in my opinion a more pragmatic manager would have got performances out of Capoue and Stambouli. I include Townsend in that bracket also.
I'll reserve Poch judgement till after the summer window.
I'l give him my support but if for some weird reason he left for a Spanish job and we got Frank De Boer in Summer. I cannot say I would be disappointed.

I think you are being harsh on Soldado, he has never complained despite us never setting up to suit his type of play. He grafts when he does play even if he is up top on his own..
I would personally only shift out the following:
Kaboul................................Too injury prone
Lennon................................Poor end product
Paulinho..............................One paced
Ade......................................Just because!
I don't think we need massive changes, bring in someone similar to Mouthino or Schneiderlin/Wanyama in to midfield, up front we are looking at Llorente & Rodriguez apparently.
In defence it looks like Wimmer is a done deal & possibly Toby Alderweireld, if the reports are to be believed.
If we signed four of these I would be happy, it is a strong possibility we might lose Hugo to PSG or one of the other continental giants. Do we make Michel Vorm number 1 or should we go all out for Begovic?
Probably end up selling Lloris, Townsend, and Dembele, all 3 of which I think should be kept for the time being.

Greaves,
I think you are being harsh on Soldado, he has never complained despite us never setting up to suit his type of play.
===================
He has played under AVB, Sherwood and Poch, so i dont think we can keep using "his style of play" as an excuse. He simply looks out of his depth in this league. Its the league that doesn't suit his style of play - not the way we have played.
I would rather have kept Dempsey than Soldado.
So to summarise, get rid of Ade and all the players we used the Bale money on apart from Chadli and Eriksen.
Chicken.......................................We have never regularly played Soldado with a partner up front. He benefits from having someone to work with. His workrate is excellent, as his his touch & passing but it is no good him having to go looking for the ball, when he should be in the penalty area 90% of the time!
