The only player i've heard of that wants to leave is Kevin Wimmer.

Walker has been omitted from the first team and must be leaving to join Man City. Fazio wants to leave like Wimmer. Clinton N'Jie has expressed his desire to join Marseille, and Danny Rose is clearly another target for Guardiola.

I believe Fazio, Wimmer and N'Jie are certain to leave. Janssen is possible if we get the right price. Sissoko should be sold but I fear we might keep him. Lamela is an ongoing nightmare which needs to end. Rose and Walker sound like they will be sky blue next season and that leave us with a significant overall required.

Barkley and Zaha look possible and Hary Maguire is a better prospect at CB. My concern is Mourinho is being linked with Ronaldo, Blae and Griezman, Chelsea with Sanchez and Man City with everyone. Even Arsenal are sniffing around Mahrez and Aguero.

Spurs have to think big and our bench and squad depth needs to improve. We have word class stars like Lloris, Alderwiereld, Wanyama, Eriksen, Dele and Kane but most other positions could be strengthened.

I would like to see Pochettino build the first team around those players, and have some real challenge in multiple positions.

Dembele is world class but cannot play 4 competitions and last all season with his stature. Dier is an essential player for next season to provide the depth and cover with Wanyama. Shaw is the man to replace Rose if we sell him to Man City. Barkley can provide the engine with Dembele. Zaha has improved and I sense he can kick on at RM, but we need some real stars.

Aguero would be ideal, Mahrez the flair we need at RM, Harry Maguire the energy and back up for our Belgium CB wall. Where is the ambition to challenge that the fans deserve. We have been the lowest NET spenders in the Premiership over the last 5 years, and whilst our manager has worked wonders, we are over achieving with the squad we have.

Harry Winks, Marcus Edwards and others need to go on loan to the likes of Newcastle and other promoted sides. In that note perhaps £20m for Sissoko back to Newcastle would be good for both teams.

The future looks great but we need to have a real go in the Champions League this time with the squad to challenge for the League and domestic cups. If this is the case our bench should look much stronger.

I thought Fazio and Bentalab were loan to buy and had both played the required games for the loan to be permanent?

Agree re: Zaha and Barkley, but that's a lot of cash and apart from one crazy year, we've never done big spend. That big spend didn't work out, so I doubt a big spend will happen in the near future.

I suspect Sissoko will be replaced (Levy magic surprise time? ) , and if Walker leaves then he'll be replaced as well, but I don't think we're going to go fm crazy and buy 3-4 players. Replacements yes, but possibly only one of Zaha or Barkley (if they don't sign new contracts) .

Lamela may be on his way out based on how Walker is rumoured to be treated once he wanted to leave, but that's a shame as he was showing how good he is.

Let's just say in Potch we trust.

The only way you can attract players at Arsenal is by paying them £250k per week.

More than one way to skin a cat, city pick up the difference and we pay more as a transfer fee.

Yes the loan terms qualify a permanent move but the transfer fees are still paid, so I am not sure of the point you make!

Some of hear amounts may seem ambitious but is it impossible:

Fazio £5m
Bentaleb £16m (buy out clause)
Wimmer £5m
Sissoko £20m
Lamela £20m
Walker £45m
Rose £45m
Janssen £20m

£176m + £50m Champions League + £50m 2nd Place.
Levy said there was £65m in available funds still not spent so why is it hard to see real change.

Zaha £35m
Barkley £35m
Harry Maguire £15m
Mahrez £40m
Aguero £75m with Man City picking up his wage difference for 5 years.

We need to be clever and aim big. Buying players for £25m who are average is not the future.

I've always wondered why the Eds approve Oracle's posts. Perhaps for the want of amusement.

The last time City sold us a striker and agreed to pay was Adebayour (apologies if I got the spelling wrong) . I don't remember that ending well.

I always wondered why Spurs23 backs a Gooner who is clueless and clearly trolling over a fellow Spurs supporter?!

Sorry but you are the typical negative supporter that held the club back for years.

Apologies Oracle! I do try to back all lilywhites but it gets a bit tough after being let down for 6 years.
Well you can say I'm just biased against clairvoyants.
