Agree, and this could work out very well for us. As you say, with the above dynamics we could be offloading say £100m-odd of players who dont really make any (positive) difference to us on the pitch, and then have fewer competitors for the players which we want to sign, which would hopefully be in the £30m-£40m bracket. 3 signings in that range funded by £100m of outgoings would make one hell of a difference - might not solve all our problems, but could patch up a good few of them. And I'd rather 3 decent signings, than 5 mediocre ones

Thing is we'd barely notice if they all left. I like Lamela but he's always injured and wouldn't say he's a key player for us. Same with Aurier, been better this season but we can manage without him.

An old @Danishfurniturelover favourite for Kane understudy Ben Brereton has just been naturalised by Chile. They fancy him as the next Marcelo Salas

I forsee a lot of quick mid price deals done before the euros start.
Clubs with cash will want to get in and get their business done early, and those needing to sell will need it done to stabilise themselves.

Made an odd move stepping down to Blackburn
Another I thought would step was David Hirsts son George. I think Leicester have parked him somewhere until he retires

I saw he was trying to do that a few months ago.
The is a lad who plays for Brighton who plays for Chile as well, English accent much like their goalkeeper.
It is a changing world.

Troy Parrott headed down the same route as well. I like usually to see how a player takes to grownup football.
Do really like Delap at City and Cherki at Lyon.

I fookinate that style of clickbait journalism. That piece of digital fishwrap is top of my list.

"Both Dier and Sanchez have had mixed campaigns, but with both having three years left on their contracts and Sanchez having been a club record signing, Tottenham will not likely accept cut price deals for either of them which could impact on their ability to sell."
If accurate then that suggests we have learned absolutely nothing in the past few years.

Cut price deal for Dier, did he not cost us very little (£15m ish), so even £20m which is not beyond the realms is actually a profit.
Of course that is a bit to sensible and not nearly gloomy enough for the sun, especially when it's spurs.
Yep, I hope we are smart enough to know regardless of past decisions, the market isn't really going to be a seller's market at the lower/mid end.

I think he cost us under £10m..... Which is about what I think we could sell him for... Maybe £15m if there is a team out there who haven't actually watched him this season. Dier will currently have an asset value of zero so any transfer fee for him is a profit on the books (which is usually what Levy cares about). That's why I think it is unlikely that we would sell Doherty or Lo Celso as both may result in paper losses and Levy has always avoided those (though maybe that was to show profit in the accounts for stadium funding purposes and he'll change his tune now the stadium is operational?)

I'm sure there's clubs and managers out there that think £15/20m for an England player at his age is good value and that that in a fresh environment under their stewardship they can get him back on track.

£4m
That’s what he cost us
And we will get a decent return on him I’m sure. Key of course is him wanting to go

Not sure we'd want him out tbh.
I would, but what do I know.

Tell him there is no place in the squad for him next season (just as Levy did with Crouch) and he will accept a move.
