We need a change in strategy that will in turn led to a change in the culture at the club. This will get the fans back on side. The way I feel it’s best for the club to do that is hiring a positive thinking manager, that takes games to the opponent. The new manager will also need to be adaptable to change game plan during games when we find a particular team hard to break down.
New CB is the main objective in regards to personnel. Also a new long term GK.
Then we can focus on moving players on and promoting more youth players and blended them with the squad players left to make up a hungry competitive squad.
We need a new manager that will be given time to implement a brand of football that is effective and pleasing to watch.
A recruitment team that will scout players that will be up to playing football in the premiership
We need defenders that can actually defend and players that have mental strength.
We need levy to start selling peroni in the bars.

Peroni not a fan!
Peroni is the thing we should replace one Italian with for another
Never as far away as you think
Probably need a better midfielder and a top CB and goalie if we talking players but bigger issues are per what H said
This is the thing. If we get in a manager more front-footed, we don't need such an overhaul in defence. We have three of the four positions filled with Porro, Romero and Udogie. We only need one more so it'll just be 3 players needed to strengthen the team.
I'm so sick of hearing that we did the right thing in the summer by strengthening the squad/bench. Sorry, what? That's utter nonsense. If you strengthen the first 11, you automatically strengthen the bench with the player dropping out. It does my head in to say that it was a strategic thing to do. Absolute nonsense.
New GK: Raya (30 to 40m)
New LCB: Ndicka (free)
New CCB: Gvardiol isn't that good but any decent CCB for 45m or less would do
New CM: Kessie or Brozovic (30m)
Attacking Mid: Kamada (free)
120m spent in summer and our team will look a lot better.
Sell Ndombele 25m, Lo Celso 20m, Sanchez 15m, Rodon 10m and raise 70m.
Net spend 50m...Surely this would make Levy happy.

This is just laughable
First of all, why persist with a back five approach to the market when Conte is unlikely to be here? It means buying even more defenders when we don't need to.
Gvardiol is that good and no difficult performance against Haaland is going to change that. Leipzig as a whole were completely dominated by City. It's not down to JG to rescue things when he was left exposed time and time again. Not his fault. We're not getting him anyway. The best clubs in the world want him.
Then there's the decision to try and get in another central midfielder when we already have Bentancur, PEH, Skipp and Sarr. That's absurd. It makes more sense to spend the money in an area where we don't have anything - creative attacking midfield.
Oh, and you ain't getting those figures for those players. Remember they're on contracts European clubs can't match. It's the wages these clubs will find difficult to do. Most of those players will be on our books until their contracts run out. If it was that easy to get rid, we'd have done it long ago. It's essentially the Jack Rodwell syndrome.
Son is finished. No way Kane stays next season.
Complete rebuild needed.

Why persist with back 5? Why not? It is very possible to play attacking attractive football with back 3/5 it's just Conte doesn't.
If we don't offload those players then we are handicapped next season. 200m of players doing nothing.
At the end of day, all it takes is a fantastic transfer window ( I know incredibly rare with Spurs ) , but 2/3 top signings could literally turn a team completely. Look at Napoli? Everyone thought they would be in transition this season losing Koulibaly etc etc, yet bought some unbelievable players and look at them now?
You need to find your new Moussa Dembele that’s what your midfield cry’s out for
The new manager is crucial to all this obviously we have to ensure we recruit a manager that can be part of a long term project, no more of these quick fix serial winners, they don't work at Spurs, for me the manager at Sporting seems to tick most of the boxes

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I know you're trolling but unfortunately I think you're probably right. People are underestimating the scale of the rebuild need, I think. Thinking players like Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Hojbjerg etc are still "OK squad players" is exactly the trap that the last few managers have fallen into.
They might be OK in training, they might have some decent attributes, but they are part of the long-term rot at Spurs and they need to go so the squad can be properly revitalised. If the likes of Dier stay, and keep getting games, then I think the problem mentality throughout the squad stays too.
I genuinely think the scale of change required, even with a good manager in place, will take 3 or 4 transfer windows to carry out
Lloris - needs to go
Skipp - stay
Hojbjerg - borderline
Sanchez - needs to go
Son - needs to go
Richarlison - borderline
Kane - stay (but probably won't)
Royal - borderline
Perisic - needs to go
Dier - needs to go
Danjuma - will probably go
Romero - stay
Sessegnon - needs to go
Forster - stay
Kulusevski - stay
Porro - stay
Tanganga - needs to go
Moura - will go
Sarr - stay
Bentancur - stay
Davies - needs to go
Lenglet - will probably go
Bissouma - borderline
So, on a generous view (ie. assuming all the borderlines stay and are worth their place, and assuming Kane stays), by my count there are 12 players who merit their place in the squad, and 11 who should leave or probably will anyway.
And then you add the players out on loan.
It's gonna take years to put the squad right

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is the one for me. My god, that lad looks frightening. Everyone's talking about Oshimen but KK is the true jewel in the crown there. I made a point of watching a lot of their CL highlights to see how good they actually were and for me, this kid is the nearest thing I've seen to George Best on the ball. His ability to run at speed but keep the ball close is exactly the same. They're going to get ripped apart in the summer. The best clubs in the world are going to be going for him.
Hojbjerg should be nowhere near a Spurs starting XI
The right man in chanrge is the most important thing.
There are plenty out there who will get this lot performing better than Conte and entertaining us.
Add the sort of quality we are lacking through the the GK, CB and AM positions and we are a very decent out fit.
Those who call for the likes of Son to be sold are fools IMO. We are suffering this season in attack because the supply and the attacking intent of the team is poor. Son & Kulu spend more time defending than they do in attacking areas. Give them the supply, employ a system that creates space for them to operate to the best of their abilities and these players will do so much more that they currently are.
A poor season for Son admittedly but also for Deki...you dont just get rid of them because of this when we have all seen the sort of negative tactics they are operating in.
I'm aware it's controversial wanting Son sold but I genuinely think his decline is terminal. Just a gut feeling. If I'm wrong, then great
I think Romero wants out as well. Believes he's too good to be there.
