Squad strengthening

Some of the squad are getting into the twilight of their careers now and some need to be signing new deals or selling while they remain a valuable asset.
Couple of areas of the squad we are light in and will need freshening up over the next couple of windows

Goalkeepers

Ederson 25 2025
Bravo 35 2020
Muric 19 2021
Grimshaw 20 2021

Defenders

Kompany 32 2019
Otamendi 30 2022
Stones 24 2022
Mendy 24 2023
Danilo 27 2022
Delph 28 2020
Walker 28 2022
Laporte 24 2023
Sandler 21 2022
Mangala 27 2019

Midfield

DeBruyne 27 2023
Silva D 32 2020
Silva B 24 2022
Zinchenko 21 2020
Fernandinho 33 2020
Gundogan 27 2020
Sterling 23 2020
Sane 22 2021
Foden 18 2020
Diaz 19 2019
Mahrez 27 2023

Forwards

Aguero 30 2021
Jesus 21 2023


Goalkeepers
No problems

Right Back
Danilo only realistic cover for Walker,be good to get another attacking tight back in but not desperate

Left Back
Mendy Delph & Zinchenko is plenty

Centre Backs
Plenty of cover,be rid of Mangala in the summer but already have Sandler in place when he’s over his knee injury

Defensive Midfield
The fact that stones has been pushed in there a couple of times shows it’s an issue.Fernandinho isn’t half the player he was 2 years ago,he’s lost a bit of pace and it’s showing.Gundogan is only ok there so we are basically very light in such an important position for the type of attacking football we play. A must for January to get someone in

Central Midfield
No problems
Bernardo stepping up has made DeBruynes lay off not an issue.
Expect to see more of Foden pushing his way in,looks top drawer

Wingers
The addition of Mahrez has added to competition for places.Sterling yet to sign a new contract,that needs sorting while he’s a valuable asset otherwise it’s all fine

Strikers
Aguero here until 2021 so we need to be looking at top class strikers over the next couple of windows. Jury still out on Jesus so lack of competition for places is a concern.Nmecha may come into the picture but we do need to be looking at strengthening sooner rather than later

Just get the UAE to throw another billion quid at it, sorted

All those billions and we don’t have a room for cheese
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I get so jealous of clubs with fiscally sound owners who make tons on transfers then don't spend any. Must be so exciting watching your team bottle it season after season after season.

And have fans abusing their chairman for that aforementioned underspend and last minute bargain hunting.

Do Spurs fans sing songs praising Joe Lewis’s austerity?

You won’t be mocking the looters when you see that new trophy cabinet filled with shiny net spend trophies

You can sell Danilo and use the funds to take Trippier back. Please.

If we played wing backs he could do a job. Not in a back 4 though. Sorry

Or your tax dodger next time he parks his superyacht in town? Spends more on mooring fees for that than players to strengthen your squad though so that is unlikely

I know he’s only young but I can’t see Jesus as Sergio’s long term replacement

If you were sorry you’d buy him. Just take him for the homegrown criteria like you did with Richard Wright ffs

I like Jesus but he’s a one goal a game player not a beast like Sergio.

Cheese Room?

A Dairylea triangle will probably set you back a Tenner.
