Next season

De Ligt will cost too much, think we will be priced out of signing him.

For me:
Out - Nkoudou, Llorente, Janssen

In - Sessegnon (with the view of him being Rose's backup and we move Davies to be a CB long term, think he is stylistically similar to Vertonghen).
Rondon (may be unpopular but PL proven, great plan B and link up play etc)
Long term Dembele replacement, Lemina, Serri, Allan a few options
----------------------------------------------------------------------
How good is De Ligt? See him mentioned all the time but haven’t seen much myself?

2 years younger than Foyth is there much comparison?

Not really sure, but was listening to TFC - The Extra Inch earlier with Priya Ramesh who seems quite a level headed Dutch football expert and she thinks he will go all the way to the top (Barca/RM level) and thinks Frenkie De Jong is nowhere near as good as people make out (to balance things out).

I listened to that one too

She essentially said De Jong is a midfielder, and the amount of time Ajax are allowed on the ball allows him to play like one, and the other kid De Ligt is a more complete defender.

She did big up Janssen on TFC in 2016 though

Do you listen to The Totally Football Show? James Richardson hosts, and Michael Cox is often on there. Good listen, good guests

All I do is listen to podcasts these days, big fan of Michael Cox. I would a million percent recommend the series of podcasts "The Mixer" which where a sort of preview for his book. Very interesting.

I like the Totally Football show guests but am unsure of the host. Similarly I like the Guardian host (Max Rushden) yet sometimes the guests are hit and miss and I find Glenndenning insufferable at times. My favourite Spurs only podcast is The Tottenham Way.

Dutch league is a bit of a mine field tbh there’s obviously loads of talent yet to find the ones that can make it in Prem straight away is hard.

I like the fighting c()ck podcast.

Particularly the gangster intro to Windy's segment on the loan watch and youth teams. Urban, aggressive, in your face intro music...then Windy, the geekiest, feeble voice kicks in straight after. Always makes me Simple pleasures

I stopped listening to FC about halfway through last season.

Go to much of speaking rubbish than actual speaking Tottenham.

Yeah I know what you mean. At times it can be like listening in on 3 geezers convo in a pub but I do like the usual guests on there, it's not too snobby / pretentious with tactics etc...just enough of that without too much detail and I like Windy's updates.

Yeah I love a podcast.

I listen to the Marcotti Times one, Totally Football, and both FC podcasts footballwise.

I suppose you could also put Athletico Mince in that category, but it would be a stretch. Funny, man
