With Tottenham getting dragged ever closer to a relegation scrap, we provided you with a possible team that could line up in the Championship next season (above) and we wanted your views on who could be around for Spurs next campaign if they succumbed to the drop.
Here are some of your comments:
Stan: The team you have outlined looks pretty good to me… At least they will be playing for the shirt! Add to that Donley, Lankshear, Yang, Byfield, Melia on the bench and things are looking hopeful.
Steve: We need to stop talking relegation into reality. We need to do what the Everton fans did. Support our team, make it a place to support the players and intimidate the opposition. Protest at end of season when things can change. We need to get points.
James: Romero, Van de Ven, and Vicario will definitely be off. I’d hope Gallagher would stay as he just got here, but understand he’s wanting a higher level. Probably the same for Simons, although a campaign in the Championship would do wonders toughening him up. I doubt we’d sign Kolo Muani, although I’d still get Palhinha in if we could. Can see the likes of Porro, Richarlison, Bissouma and maybe Udogie going, but hope we could keep Kulusevski and Solanke, as I think they could be a great goalscoring combination, and Archie Gray must stay – just give him the captaincy. Hopefully we can give the youth some chances, build a team with a few wise heads and then a lot youth. Most importantly, we need a coach with flexibility and a vision that the board is going to back. I think a lot depends on the next few European games.
Phil: Spurs need a complete reset by being relegated – and I’m saying that as a lifelong Spurs fan of almost 50 years! That way, all the players that think they’re great – but aren’t – will leave and Spurs can use academy players, as well as buy players that work their socks off for the club. They also need a manager who cares about the club like Pochettino always did.
GMcd: I doubt Gray, Maddison, Solanke and Luca Vukosvic will hang around. Why we never recalled Vukosvic in light of all the injuries I do not know.
Peter: New Goalkeeper. Sell Romero, start Luca Vuskovic. Sell Bentancur and Bissouma. Make Maddison skipper. Sell Richarlison. Don’t buy Kolo Muani. Start Mikey Moore and use Dane Scarlett more frequently.
James: I don’t actually mind that possible Championship team, but nothing about it suggests a quick return to the Premier League. And then how do we rebuild if we do get back as the people running the club have shown consistently they cannot do a good job? We could become another yo-yo club, or worse.
Ed: Spurs Championship Starting XI:GK – Kinsky, RB – Spence, CB- Takai, CB – Davies, LB – Souza, CM – Devine, CM – Gray, CM – Sarr, FWD – Hyeok, FWD – Lankshear FWD – Odobert.
