On the website: caughtoffside.com there were reports this morning that nine players are set to be “offloaded” so the club have £60m to spend to keep Modric and Bale happy. Personally, i’m more interested in the club signing players so we could improve, however according to the media, players will be bought to keep the more talented payers happy and to show them what direction the club is heading to.
You will probably be able to immediately work out the players that have been included in the reported list. Giovanni dos Santos, Robbie Keane, Niko Kranjcar, Wilson Palacios, Alan Hutton, Sebastian Bassong, Jermaine Jenas, Younes Kaboul and David Bentley were the players mentioned. It goes on to say about the interest from other clubs regarding Younes Kaboul, Robbie Keane, Niko Kranjcar and Jermaine Jenas.
Blackburn have become the one of the favourites to get Keane. There wasn’t that much speculation, but many people have been suggesting that Blackburn are going to make the most of their new owners’ money and go on a major spending spree, and Keane could be part of that. I think that Keano has to be sold. It’s reported he is one of the highest earners at the club, and the longer they leave it, the less his value is going to become. It’s obvious that he has had a great career at Spurs but it is the right time for it to come to an end.
Tottenham are also willing to let Dos Santos go, providing that the price is right. They are saying that it would take £6.5m to sign him. I can’t argue with the price, but he seemed pretty good at the World Cup for Mexico, and he’s scored a few belters at the CONCACAF cup. So maybe it is worth giving him a try? However, I just can’t see him getting a run in the team. Redknapp would not drop Lennon for a whole season, he’d be a fool to drop Bale and VDV would start complaining if GDS took his place. So maybe letting him go is the right option for both the player and the club.
There’s also speculation that Norwich are interested in David Bentley, but I can’t see that going through. Firstly, Tottenham would demand a price they couldn’t match and Bentley would probably have to take a rather large wage cut to go there.
The main thing though that is coming from all of these stories, is that the club is asking too much. But when a striker is sold for £50m and scores once and when Man. City spend loads of money on average players, it really is very tricky to determine how much to sell a player for.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
Caughtoffside! lmao. They are probably the biggest bullshitters out there.
We wont buy anyone this summer, cause we will never get rid of so many players in one transfer window. Come on lets face it!
whys that then? window not even open yet! They will sell most if not all from the list. Otherwise say goodbye to modric next summer and then bale, and so on. Redknap will be gone next summer u watch.
the window has been open for a month mate. I think quoting Caughtoffside has made MANY readers stop reading your blog permanantly.
Window hasn’t officially opened, it does on Friday even if transfers are ‘signed’ they need to be ratified and then the players’ registration exchanged.
They will probaly sell them but it will be a mistake
This is dangerous times at Spurs both off the field and on it everything was going smoothly until the board spotted West Ham Mafia going for a super cheap alternative with all the infrastructure already built. This ha a bad affect on our finances for the future and the new rules Utd Chelsea Liverpool Man City all have bad trading finances but they choose to ignore the restraints believing them to be illegal. My crystal ball tells me these three will all be kicked out Man City Chelsea and Utd and 567 will be installed instead for the Wembley final.and Plattini will send a clear message too the premiership and European teams comply or be denied . Theother danger is we could become the most haunted team in the prmiership because we are letting some players who can take points of us this is why City would not sell any players who could score Keane still could be a very good striker Bentlley Palacios Kranjcar Dosantos Hutton could cost us far more than 60 million. Who could we buy without champions league who could make the difference Parker no these players could Robyn Bellamy Benzima me i would stick and without long injuries i would bet anyone we would get back in Europe if energy drugs are stopped
Anyone can make a list of players that could/should be sold. However it’s not so easy to find clubs willing to buy these players. Perhaps Darren Lewis should be our new director of football, because he seems to know what best for the club and who coming and going !
add defoe and the utterly useless crouch to that list, keep younis
Here here Rici
I believe we have 12 players could go this summer
BE Alwick 1
Alan Huton 5
Sebastien Bassong 5
Kyle Nuaghton 5
Ledley King 0
Jonathon Woodgate 0
David Bentley 7
Palacios 10
Jamie O hara 5
Niko Krancjar 8
Robbie Keane 4
Dos Sontos 4
Woodgate and O Hara are gone. King is injury prone and may retire.
One of Pav, Crouch and Defoe may go for 6-10 million also
That would make 60 million and put the club in profit and in a very good position when the new Eufa financial rule come into force. These new rules will mean there will be a flood of good players at cheap prices and lower wages available from all over europe. Arsenal are waiting for this and so should spurs. There is a player wage and transfer bubble at the moment. Let it burst and then step in.
However Kaboul will definitely definitely stay as he can play defensive mid, full back, center back and even as a target man up front.
Target man upfront, are you sure, ffs why did Harry not play him, instead of Rodney.
I am sorry but i have been listening to this Bullshit for two seasons now, selling players before we buy, then we sell the odd player and nothing else happens. Levy pull your head out of your Arse, if you cant afford to run the club properly then sell us to a wealthy Arab, with shit loads of money.
Sounds so easy to shift these 9 players doesn’t it, we have said the same thing for about 10 years “Sell 10, get 3 world class in”, however it never happens like that does it? We have made a rod for our own backs getting the likes of Bentley and Keane in and putting them on silly money every week. Would not be suprised to see Jenarse still here on September 1st as he hangs around like a bad smell yet again wasting 1/25 of our squad. However we have already sold O’Hara, released Woody (I think?) and there does seem to be a lot of concrete interest in a lot of the shit except our strikers. Don’t expect nearly 1/3 of our players to go though.
The day we sell to some billionaire Arab the club will have died
NOBODY WANTS OUR SHIT, its that simple
