Real Deal
Alert Team
Nah...time for us to go in a different direction. I would like a young up and coming manager...
I do too. I just want Harry in for the rest of the season.

If Levy has his way, it certainly seems that way. If Jose doesn't have a Man Utd style meltdown in public, causing the problems to the Spurs "brand", I think he is pretty safe.
Its more about players though.
Does this mean Levy told Jose....get me top 4 and a trophy and I will give you what you need to win the league ?

Haha rackney seems way to easy, have you forgotten this is Spurs your talking about.What sort of rebuid do you guys think we need. As a starter for 10 maybe something along these lines
Lloris - Release - Bring in Pope maybe
Hart - Keep
Aurier - Keep
Doherty - Sell - bring in Aarons
Reggie - Keep
Rodon - Keep
Dier - Undecided
Sanchez - Sell - Bring in Vestergard
Toby - Sell - Bring in Dunk
Tanganga - Keep
Davies - Sell bring in ???
PEH - Keep
Winks - Sell - Bring in Sabitzer
Dele - Keep
Sissoko - Sell - Promote Skipp
Lo Celso - Keep
Ndombele - Keep
Lamela - Sell - Bring in Raphina or Coutinho (loan deal)
Moura - Keep

Here's the age of your players by the start of next season:
Pope 28
Aarons 21
Vestergard 29
Dunk 29
Sabitzer 27
Rafihna 28
Coutinho 29
Ings 29
Aguero 33
Dybala 27
So in answer to your question, Spurs shouldn't buy a clutch of players in this age bracket. I just don't think it suits the model.
So I would be thinking more on the lines of some selections from a younger group:
GK Areola 28
RB Aarons 21/ Matt Cash 23
CD Ben White 23 / Romagnoli 26 (in contract dispute at Milan) / Kabak 21 (only on loan at Liverpool)
CM - Yves Bissouma 24 / Anguissa 25
AM - Lookman 23
Fwd - Edouard 23
I think you have to consider a bigger contribution from Sess, Skipp, Japhet, White etc as well as rebuilding a homegrown core.

Completely agree with you on the focus on getting a young core of players. I want the squad to be hungry, energetic and with good potential to grow.Here's the age of your players by the start of next season:

Those would be my three main targets if we keep the likes of Kane and Son. If we sell Kane then I'd have other suggestions to add.
The only players I want to see us definitely sell/leave are Doherty, Toby, Sissoko, Gazzaniga, Foyth, Rose and CCV.
I want to see Skipp and Sessegnon given chances. I would be a fan of signing Vinicius on a permanent but I'm also cautious about our homegrown player issues.
rackny stop talking sensible about Spurs, lol!It was just a starting point Mutts. Looking at the likelihood that we may not have any European football and that we may have lost our best player. Unfortunately no matter how much we love the club the name will not be a big draw. Not having Champions League dictates the calibre of player we can get. No Europa League and the pool of established players gets smaller. Oh and we dont pay the top wages that the mercenaries will ask for.
Our scouting team have proved that they are not up to the task of unearthing talent like other clubs do so the cold reality is this is what we are looking at or we try the kids and see where we get.
There are a lot of talented youngsters who deserve a place in the squad. Sess, Clarke & Skipp should all return & Sissoko, Doherty, Rose & Dier should all be sold.
The only other signings we need are a CB & a keeper. I'm more than comfortable with Tang & Aurier battling it out for the RB spot.
