I had a dream about Butland last night.

Don't tell Danish. Sounds like some kind of kinky theme park.

Andy Reid Mk2?

 

[Rorschach]

It's goi g to a long window with crap like that going about.

Yes. We need a much better standard of crap to keep us amused.

Or I suppose I could see if my family is still alive.

Spend time with the family? They probably are alive, unless you can smell something, and the ITKers will crank up to maximum flimflam soon so you're better to stick with us for those months of fun.

We probably like you better too, tbh.

You've convinced me. I'm sure that smell was something else anyway.

Tottenham ready to let FIVE first-teamers go in this summer's transfer window
EXCLUSIVE — Club already willing to move Mousa Dembele, Fernando Llorente and Moussa Sissoko on will also listen to offers for Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose

Spurs will start listening to offers for Toby Alderweireld and Danny Rose ahead of a summer revamp.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino is also ready to wave goodbye to Mousa Dembele — as we revealed last month — Fernando Llorente and Moussa Sissoko.

The decision to offload the quintet was taken before Pochettino’s controversial comments after Sunday’s epic 5-4 season-ending win over Leicester.

The Argentine is understood to want assurances that chairman Daniel Levy will back him with an enhanced transfer kitty and relax Tottenham's wage structure in order to attract more quality players.

Tottenham, in turn, want Pochettino to sign a new deal but are bracing themselves for a spell of brinkmanship as the 46-year-old waits for future spending plans.

Alderweireld’s contractual situation is well documented, with the 29-year-old seeking a substantial pay rise that would reflect his status as arguably the best central defender in the Premier League.

Spurs have so far been unwilling to meet that demand from the Belgium international, who has a year left on his contract with the option for a further 12 months. Manchester United, Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain are all interested in signing him.

Rose’s future has been in doubt ever since his explosive interview last summer in which he criticised Tottenham’s transfer policy and wage structure.

Again, Man United are also among a number of clubs to have been monitoring his situation.

Midfielder Dembele, who turns 31 in July, moves into the final year of his contract in the summer and is ready to listen to offers from Italy and China.

Click bait. How I missed you.

Really doesnt seem that out of he realms of possibility, if Im honest.

 

[Nigeyman]

I wonder where levy is meeting poch for these ‘showdown’ talks? Will it be at dawn? Will there be pistols? Swords? If it’s at midday a high blazing sun could reflect light from Levy’s head into poch’s Eyes and give our chairman an unfair advantage!

Shown himself to be great this season

 

[Gutter Boy]

I genuinely think the early finish of the transfer window is the best decision that has been made in football since the introduction of the backpass rule.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Really doesnt seem that out of he realms of possibility, if Im honest.

It's just stating the obvious really

100% gone, unless we can't find a buyer - Sissoko, Llorente, Janssen, GKN

Physically or politically tarnished and might go on our terms - Alder, Rose and Dembele

 

[nayimfromthehalfwayline]

Exactly, seems to me its pretty reasonable. Only real shock is the volume, but as I say I dont think its that out of bounds.

And, of course, (as always) it depends upon the replacements as well. Its entirely possible we dont even miss them.

Sissoko - minutes, but as 5th choice; already replaced by Moura
Llorente - virtually no minutes; needs replacing
Janssen - no minutes; already replaced by Llorente
GKN - no minutes
Alder - minutes in the first half of the season; would need replacing
Rose - minutes, but as 2nd choice; would need replacing
Dembele - minutes, but body packing in; would need replacing

So worst case scenario is 7 out, 4 in

On another note lets hope Fulham lose the Play off final, because if they go up I suggest we have very little chance of Sess playing for us next season judging by his comments....
