The Squad planning thread

We have to look to now and the summer though mate with the World Cup on the horizon?

I was thinking of this January transfer window.

 

[waspish]

Wouldn’t sell them shit! Plus the wages he is on means they’ll go no where near him!

Likely that:

Ake
Stones
Kovacic
Bernardo
Phillips

Are all definitely gone and question marks over Savinho and Bobb?

Then there's other random scenarios like Rico Lewis/Marmoush asking to leave because they arent playing or us deciding to sell Rodri because he won't renew.

I feel like we could be looking at 5/6 departures at least

It’s a new regime now Levy has gone.

They’re failing on the pitch.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they go for Marmoush.
It’s a good signing from one of the biggest clubs in the world.
They would sell it to the fans as a coup and a sign of intent.

When realistically, it’s same old spurs.

I agree, albeit I do think if he wants to be the main man like he was at Frankfurt again, he will have to take a pay cut regardless.

Considering how desperate Spurs are currently, and the fact they don't have that tight arse Levy anymore, they might just pay him £200k a week.

If they offered us £50m-£60m and we got Semenyo I think we consider it.

Fuck that! Get the Savinho move back on!

 

[KingGeorge]

Spurs are kinda amusing. They think are a heavy hitter. They are second tier club.

 

[Blue_Lightsaber]

I think the more interesting part is if Marmoush wants to leave for more play time and would he actually want to go to Spurs?

Think City would just say bring us an offer (we paid what 75 mil for him so 75m thereabouts?)

 

[TonyColemansbagofapples]

Why the clamour to get rid of so many of our players?

 

[richards30]

We’ve only had Marmoush a year nearly!? Was great the second half of the season and arguably got us champions league football? Wonder what’s happened with him and Pep

Lewis is 20 and played around 100 games. Do you want to re-visit your comment?

Yeah I'm honestly beginning to wonder about Rodri.. what's going on there??

I do know he's been offered a contract but nothing since then!

Nothing. Haaland hasn’t got injured this season and Marmoush has.

Swapping Marmoush for Semenyo makes sense in the fact that Semenyo can play both wings, whereas Marmoush will only play if Haaland is injured or needs a rest.

I don't think anything happened with because he wouldn't have gotten a roll out at the Bernabeau otherwise. (if you look at the subs, it was almost a.. go learn what it's like to play at the Bernabeau because I want you to not get intimidated next time we play here)

So 2 things can possibly be true..

1. Spurs sniffing around for a forward

2. Marmoush possibly looking to get more playing time.

With the potential departures of Stones and Ake in 2026 by the summer we could do with another 2 CB’s. Reis is showing potential with Girona and I like him as a player. I think in the summer we should let Khusanov get some regular football on loan. That for me would mean Reis can replace him in the squad.

That just leaves replacements for Stones and Ake. For me I would love City to target Ousmane Diomandé of Sporting. My other target would be Guehi. Diomandé has an €80m buyout clause. Currently he is at AFCON with Ivory Coast. He is the right age profile but also with CL experience. Probably one of the best in his age range who potentially could be available.

Seems Spurs have offloaded Johnson to Palace.

Would mean no Bobb to Palace

Would mean no Bobb to Palace

Depends on the price, they might go for it to try keep Glasner happy.

I'm assuming that most teams currently have full squads so in most cases, it will be a case of ins and outs balancing.
There may be very few transfers in the January window
