Unless we can get Rose to go to a Championship club, Bournemouth have evidently made an enquiry, we are stuck with him until his contract is up and he walks away.
We are overloaded in midfield and I cannot see any point in both Sissoko and Winks. If, as has been reported, City want Winks and will pay around £40m then it's a no brainer.
Gazzanaga needs to move on for the sake of his own career, likewise CCV.
Lamela is worth keeping, for his play acting alone and Moura must also be held on to.
The big question for me hangs over Dele. Not sure how this will pan out but one thing is for sure, he will not be among the first names on the team sheet

I agree, pretty much every player has shown his worth, even Aurier. For me the players walking a tightrope at the moment are Sanchez, Dele, Winks and Sissoko. I've said the latter two are worth keeping but never ever have them on the pitch at the same time. Sanchez really only has his pace going for me over all the other centre backs and if we can secure Skriniar or someone similar I would sell him. Dele as you say is the biggest debate. He now has until January to prove himself and I hope he does as the Euros are next year.
CCV I'm sure will move on to the championship in the ext two weeks as will Clarke. I'm baffled by Rose and Gazzaniga not moving on though as they need to be playing in the top division.

I'm not sure that we've been very fair to Rose who has been an outstanding servant to the club. When he has been outspoken he has only said what most of us fans have been feeling and thinking. I know he hasn't been given a squad number but is he training with the main players or have they shoved him onto the kids?
Rose could still do a reasonable job for someone even if he dropped a division. There's no reason the club should treat him like a bloody leper. He doesn't deserve that. Besides, he always knew that when a player gets to a certain age at Spurs he will be discarded
I don't think Jose will get rid of Sissoko. It's true he's weak in the last third but we have plenty of attacking players to make up for that. The Big Moose is tough, fast, and has plenty of muscle. When it comes to work-rate he ALWAYS puts in a shift which Dele doesn't.
Sissoko won't always get in the first team but there's no reason why he can't be a decent squad player. We have a lot of games coming up and I will be surprised if Jose gets rid of Winks or Sissoko.

I can see no reason for keeping both Sissoko and Winks. To me Sissoko has a much better engine than Winks and of the two I would keep him. The only reason I can see for keeping Winks is the fact that he is home grown. Is that sufficient reason to keep him tho ?

He has obviously fallen out with levy and his time with us is finished, sport/football is extremely cruel he is now treated by the club as yesterday’s man and just one to be discarded, that must hurt him.
He has also mentioned his struggles with mental health - for all the money they earn I can only imagine how it affects them mentally. I wish him the best hope he finds another top club to play for and end his career on a high - he gave his all for us over the years

Agree that rose has been badly treated by the club but why has no one come in for him ?
To be honest i captained a team in another sport and i had to pick the match day players and it fcking annoyed me when certain players told me they expected to be chosen.
Instead of confronting mourinho he should have kept his head down! worked hard and made it impossible not to be selected.

I would keep Sissoko since I think he does offer something. Surprise surprise the one I would get rid of is Winks. So far as I can see he stifles all forward movement with his Square pass mentality. To me he brings nothing to the team.
I can see Dele going abroad for a season and that may just be the making of him

And some people say we should keep him at the club. FFS why ? As shown above he contributes nothing

Name one player to get in and one player to get out.
We've done magnificently during the summer window so there is an argument for not bringing anyone in. If we had to bring someone in, for me it's back to the previous chased centreback of Skriniar. It's now the area we need to strengthen most, and he's better than anyone we have.
Regarding departures, Sanchez for me, as we've brought in Rodon already and sooner or later Tanganga will be fit.

Stefan de Vrij in.
In the Dutch team people always talk about de ligt and van dijk, however this lad was named best defender in serie a last year, will fill a gap for 4 to 5 years in our defence and is quality.
