Lamptey has potential but the others are nothing special.
Unsuprisngly Liverpool have the best options.

Bellerin will end up at a top Club the others you just mentioned wont and that tells you something.

Bellerin is similar to the Giroud situation - he's not elite and he's not consistent enough but unless you are going to replace with someone cleearly TOP class there's no point selling because he's still a very good player.

Since buying Tierney I think it highlights Bellerin's shortfalls even more, those 2 players just don't compare. Tierney is in a totally different league to Bellerin and if we can find another player of the calibre of the Scot......

Sure but alongside Robertson, Tierney is probably the best LB in the league. He's superb - its a bit harsh on Bellerin to compare him to a guy who is basically perpetual motion.
 
A number of those players are a few years younger than Bellerin so you never know, they could make it at a better side. But even if they don’t, Leicester and West Ham (as an example) are playing some great stuff, so they’ll still be performing at a good level (better than us right now anyway!)

It’ll be interesting to see what happens with Hector - I don’t think he’s good enough anymore and I don’t know how many clubs are genuinely interested in him, but there is enough about him to command a good fee of £25m+.

I just hope we get a good fee.
Well if the board can sign someon better i'm all for it. I just dont want us selling a very loyal player who's been with us for a long time only to replace him with someone of the same or lesser level.

I feel the same about Xhaka. He can infuriate but he's a good player and to replace him with a better player wont be easy or cheap.

Partey and Odengaard though are both good signs our recuitment is going in the right diretion.

Ryan Bertrand on a free. Thoughts?
Another ex-Chelsea player who's 30+, but you do need backup for Tierney.

We've played Saka at LWB recently and that's worked well with Martinelli further forward.

That said, it would be good to not to have to rely on Saka as back up to Tierney, who has been hampered with injuries thus far in his Arsenal career.

Would I take Bertrand on a free ? depends on his wages, but he's decent enough for back up.

On another note, what do you make of Spurs' intentions to have fan representation on the board ?

I've been a long term advocate of this sort of thing. And my personal feeling is that it should be mandatory for one of the board members to be a representative of the supporter's trust.

PS. We really should be discussing this sort of thing on the Spurs board, but you know .... you still haven't released me from my ban yet <laugh>

Not good enough. Not fit enough. Same level as Wilshere and Walcott so he'll end up at Spammers, Everton, Newcastle et al.

Yeah, feel like he's had his chance. I'd rather see us play our youth and develop a team around them.

Would probably be in that CM/ACM role. Which to be honest I'd rather see Willock given the chance in there.
Surely AMF will be Smith Rowe. He's ****ing class.

I would take Ramsey back for sure but when you look at it our squad is ****ing massive.

Theres ALOT of players to shift. The squad neds trimming right down.

Yeah AMF is Smith Rowe, but he can also play on the flank.

I can't see a place for Ramsey in this squad tbh.
