    And now it's time to pile on the misery with

    Vulture Watch

    Today I'll wrap up the relegated sides who I haven't already covered

    Werder Bremen
    Milos Veljkovic
    (25yo, Serbia, centre back, contracted until 2022, counts as HG & CG)
    Josh Sargent (21yo, USofA, striker, contracted until 2022)
    Maximilian Eggstein (24yo, Germany, centre midfielder, contracted until 2023)
    Christian Groß (32yo, Germany, defensive midfielder, contracted until 2022, clearly here for ****s and giggles)

    Valladolid
    Shon Weissman
    (25yo, Israel, centre forward, contracted until 2024, would quite possibly finish Baddiel off)

    Huesca
    Gaston Silva
    (27yo, Uruguay, left back, free agent in the summer)

    Nimes
    Andres Cubas
    (25yo, Paraguay, defensive midfield, contracted until 2024)
    Birger Meling (26yo, Norway, left back, contracted until 2023)

    Carter-Vickers in talks to join Bournemouth permanently. Has just a year left on his deal so he won't be fetching us a fortune (I'd guess around £2m) but at least it's a start of getting that cull going, lol.

    Fun fact: the Lunatic Fringe are blaming Hitchen for spending £30m on Sissoko

    Who was signed when Paul Mitchell was our DoF

    Gee, I wonder why I coined that name for the easily-led, reactionary dullards...

    Was thinking about the Bale comment re his decision causing chaos...think he may well retire after the Euros.

    I think he will go back to Madrid because Zidane is becoming our next manager

    bare chaos

    If Zidane was ever coming to Spurs, I'd rather he came out of retirement and played. Almost certain that at 48 he's still miles better than any midfielder we currently have.

    Which is funny and depressing in equal measure, lol.

    Zidane goes from managing Modric, Ramos, Bale etc in their prime and gets the arse and walks away before returning... to managing us with Aurier, Sissoko and Doherty?

    Mike Maignan set to join AC Milan for just €15m. Feels like a snip for one of the best performing keepers in Europe this season.

    Romano claims we weren’t in talks with him as we have different GK targets in mind.

    Dan Kilpatrick's published a sell list, although it does come with a heavy "I reckon" energy to it
    Hugo Lloris
    Davinson Sanchez
    Eric Dier
    Serge Aurier
    Matt Doherty
    Ben Davies
    Moussa Sissoko
    Harry Winks
    Erik Lamela
    Lucas Moura

    Long story short, while I believe parts of that list, I don't believe all of it, for the following reasons
    i.) Selling both Aurier and Doherty leaves us needing two RBs, so the likely scenario is we sell Aurier and Doherty gets a second season
    ii.) Selling both Lamela and Lucas only makes sense if Bale gets a second season and rotates with Bergwijn, otherwise only Lamela's off
    iii.) Selling both Sissoko and Winks leaves us desperately short in centre midfield, which is already a problem area, plus the HG implications of Winks leaving

    It's also a surprise that the following players aren't on the list
    Toby Alderweireld
    Juan Foyth
    Paulo Gazzaniga

    Also, it's been widely suggested that Lille are having a fire sale because their finances are pretty goddamn bad, so even though they won the league a chunk of the team that won the league will be moved on in the summer

    Sven Botman, anyone?

    Marcus Edwards is being linked with a €13m move to Sporting Lisbon who just won the Portuguese League title.

    We have a 50% sell on clause so would pocket €6.5m from the sale should it happen.

    Didn’t have the best of seasons this one otherwise that fee would be a lot higher and possibly to a team in Europe’s top five leagues.

    I noticed we weren't seeing many videos of him dribbling past three players and smashing it into the net after November

    Considering how Guimaraes finished seventh (oh look, another contender for Vulture Watch...) and conceded more than they scored, either they had an overly-defensive manager or Primeira Liga defences are getting smart to him

    This is why a new manager is needed ASAP. Would be foolish to sign a player before the new manager is in place as he might have other preferences. On the other hand, delaying it will mean targets will sign for other clubs or new contracts

    Time is of the essence
