I'm onside regards the cliff edge we face in under 12 months - extending deals is prolonging the pain, those not up to it currently don't need keeping on further.
Who are these £2mil defenders spurs have picked up and what separates them from former players like Kyle Naughton? for instance.
What craziness is this about anyone going cap in hand to Juve of all entities for favours for players?
There is a ton of work to do on the first eleven now.
£2mil defender
Tottenham Hotspur have signed England Under-19 centre-back Ashley Phillips from Blackburn Rovers.
The 18-year-old, who played eight times for Rovers in the Championship last season, has signed a five-year deal.
He joined Blackburn aged 12 in 2017 and progressed through the academy before making his first-team debut in 2022.
Tottenham activated his £2m release clause and the defender becomes their sixth summer signing under new manager Ange Postecoglou.
Not sure what you mean by "going cap in hand" to Juventus. Its quite well publicised they have financial issues and the media have stated Samuel Iling-Junior and Koni De Winter (both linked to us) would be available.
Its just sensible business imo to spend the rumoured fees (in these examples, of which there will be more) in the knowledge that over the next two seasons they can be ready to step in ahead of those falling by the wayside.
