No, I think what he means is that this is our A-list going into next season (which is why Tel is included), and that we should start making a definitive A-list for next season from here.I'm assuming you have listed this season's A-list? It's a good reference point. I was mapping everyone that fell into that bucket for next season. Looks like we got some work to do to both create space and accommodate existing players. The killer for me is not being able to register U21's that haven't been registered with Spurs for 2 years. Gray and Bergval have been taking 2 slots. Now we have guys like Vuskovic in the same boat. Yang as well. Not looking good for Keeley as well.
A-list: Venom, Kinsky; Porro, Udogie, Romero, VDV, Dragusin, Danso; Bentancur, Bissouma, Gray, Sarr, Bergvall, Kulu; Son, Richi, Tel
Away from the emotions (difficult I know), I still cannot see both Bissouma and Bentancur staying. We have been crying out for a strong DM, and depending on how long Deki is out, and how much we rate Madders, we could do with another creative AM as well. Bergvall, Gray, and Sarr for me are the only certainties in midfield going forward. Another goalscorer would be required as well. So let's say that from the above A-list of 17, three will leave (Bissouma, Richarlison, perhaps Bentancur/Dragusin), and we could add a DM, an AM, and a goalscoring CF like Delap. I think that's the minimum we need to have a chance of surviving the first phase of the Champions League.
