Assuming no big names leave, who would you choose?

I'm fickle and perhaps totally unrealistic:

Remy (I'd rather Falcao but that's just silly)
Vertonghen
Dembele
Di Maria

But we might get:

De Jong
Johnson
Moses
Hoilett

The striker question is worrying me ... a lot.
 
sell Bale and get Villa in return with barca paying the difference in his wages
Adebayor
Hazard
Vertonghen

_________Adebayor
___Villa_____Vdv___Hazard
_______Modric_Sandro

BAE Vertonghen Kaboul Walker

Assuming we don't have to replace Modric or Bale:

1) Adebayor (first choice #9)
2) Leandro (#9 competition, sharper shooter than Ade)
3) Vertonghen (long term King replacement/Kaboul partner)
4) Remy (competition for Lennon on the right, also 3rd choice #9)


That still leaves me a bit concerned about the GK situation, but we can look at that in January.


So:

------------Friedel

Walker--Kaboul--Verts--BAE

-------Sandro---Modric

Remy------vdV------Bale

------------Ade


Bench - Cudicini, Naughton, Dawson/Gallas, Parker, Lennon, Krancjar/Hudd, Leandro

Hazard and Villa are both predominantly left-siders.

Would you really pay ?ú35m for Hazard and use him on his wrong flank?

i was under the impression he was played more on the right ? going by what ive heard of him on here

thought everyone was tossing themselves silly at the prospect of Bale and Hazard on either flank when he was first linked ?

Check Football Manager. Whatever it lists will be true*

* - almost certainly not true.
 
always good to see the whole concept of a British team die.......

how long before a Spurs side without and Englishman or a British player in it?

He's right footed, but is a cutty-in, rather than touchline winger, so prefers the left flank from what I've seen of him.

The problem is that the England team would struggle to be in the top half of the EPL. Scotland would be in the championship and Wales and NI lower.

British players are great when they are as good as Bale, King or Walker (Parker, Lennon, Hudd and Dawson), but we shouldn't handicap ourselves by going for second rate players.

Utd and Chelsea have won plenty of league titles recently with English players and City have plenty in their squad [-X

So do we - I just listed 7 from our first team squad. There's also Caulker, Naughton, Rose, Townsend, Livermore and Carroll who will make the 25 next season (or are still U21).
