Okay I settled now for this squad, this is for me the best possible outcome of the transfer window:

1 Lloris
13 Vorm
24 Friedel

2 Walker
3 Rose
4 Kaboul
5 Vertonghen
6 Musacchio
15 Dier
16 Naughton
33 Davies
51 Vejlkovic

8 Schneiderlin
11 Lamela
14 Holtby
17 Townsend
22 Chadli
23 Eriksen
29 Capoue
30 Sandro
38 Mason
42 Bentaleb
44 Ceballos

7 Remy/ Depay
9 Soldado
10 Adebayor
18 Kane

Sell: Paulinho, Dembele, Lennon, Dawson, BAE
Loan(sell): Fryers, Carroll, Chiriches
I think the chances of Sandro still being here are slim. Poch clearly doesn't rate him.

Two for every position.

Lloris Vorm
Walker Naughton
Musacchio Chiriches
Vertonghen Kaboul
Davies Rose
Capoue Bentaleb
Paulinho Dembele
Eriksen Holtby
Lamela Townsend
Remy Chadli
Adebayor Soldado

Dier and Kane acting as versatile backups for many positions. Friedel emergency keeper. Maybe keep Mason too which equals a squad of 26. 17 non home grown. Just can't envisage seeing us buy both MM and MS although would like much rather a CB and would sell Lennon and Dawson to fund it. Remy coming in with Sandro going. Free to BAE, everyone else not listed loan out for 6-12months.

Can only really judge his last two performances so maybe a little premature, but can see Dier pushing Kaboul out and becoming a more likely starter alongside Vertonghen if he continues in the same form or better. Kaboul just seems a bit ropey at times and for me he was our biggest weak link of the 11 against WH.

Other than that tho my squad in my head, realistically, is pretty much same as yours, although I'm hopeful we'll turn our attentions to a winger if MS isn't going to happen. I personally think that would be money better spent considering the players we already have at DM

If Musacchio came in I could see Kaboul going too tbh. Wasn't sure if Dier was ready to be feasibly 4th choice but after West Ham perhaps he is.

Here would be my transfer plan for the last two weeks. Of course easier said that done, but still -

Sell Dembele to Southampton so that we can get Schneiderlin. Maybe Mousa + 7 million would be fair.

Sell Dawson and Kaboul - around 10-12 million for the pair.

Sell Naughton - 5 mil, Sandro - 10 mil, Lennon or Townsend - 10 mil.

So that gives us 28-30 million to spend, so we can buy Depay (15 mil) and Musacchio (17 mil) with a 4 million net spend.

So our squad would be:

GK: Lloris, Vorm, Friedel
DF: Walker, Yedlin (when he arrives), Dier, Vertonghen, Musacchio, Chiriches, Davies, Rose
CM: Schneiderlin, Capoue, Bentaleb, Paulinho, Mason
AM: Lamela, Townsend, Eriksen, Holtby, Depay, Chadli
FW: Adebayor, Soldado, Kane

I know it's highly unlikely as Danny Rose listed as midfielder and Poch listed as Spanish lol, but Dembele listed as Forward in uefa list. Just what if that's what Poch sees him as ala AZ days. Throws spanner in works as to squad predictions.

Poochie is most likely spanish, he would of gained spanish citizenship for the foreign rule in la liga

He is also most likely of spanish ancestry as well

What we should do is sign Depay and Musacchio. Maybe MS but not convinced.

What we will do is get rid off Soldado, Chiriches, Chadli, Capoue, Sandro and keep Daws and Lennon.

Can't wait to be proven wrong because being right would be disgustingly like all previous windows.

Lloris

Freidel

Walker - HG
Fredericks - HG

Vertonghen
Musacchio
Kaboul
Chiriches
Dier - U21

Capoue
Sandro or Schneiderlin - HG
Dembele or Paulinho
Mason - HG

Velkovic - U21

Lamela

Soldado

Kane - U21


I think we need to offload Dawson, Naughton, Obika, Khumalo, BAE, one of either Dembele or Paulinho (depending on who Poch thinks will work best in his system), Sandro, if we bring in MS and Lennon if we can bring in Depay.

Loan (or sell) Fryers, Carroll & Cebellos.

If Walker is injured and we need someone more solid in defense, we can use Kaboul, Dier or Musacchio, who can all play there.

In Jan, I think we should asses Mason & Dembele or Paulinho, Selling one of them, who hasn't impressed and the same with Chadli & Townsend, replacing one with Rodriguez, if he has fully recovered from his injury.
