Spurs Revisonist History - Pochettino Summer of 2016

Going to do a few of these over the Summer. Thinking Summer of 95 had Klinsmann stayed and Summer of 06 had we not had that Lasagne.

Will start with the Summer of 2016. We are coming a genuine title challenge and in the last season at the Lane.

You are Director of Football at Spurs working together with Pochettino & Levy. Your budget is £60M that’s been funded by the sale of mostly youth products and Nacer Chadli.

Players Sold
Nabil Bentaleb £16M
Ryan Mason £13M
Nacer Chadli £13M
Alex Pritchard £8M
Deandre Yedlin £5M
Tom Carroll £5M

Within reason you can spend it how you wish. Hindsight can be used to an extent but you players who were not brick yet (Wimmer as an example) can’t be binned off and you cant be making data signings like were Brighton and uncovering hidden gems.

We made 4 major signings that summer if which only Victor Wanyama at £11M is viewed as a success. The transfer you can take back would be:

Transfers In
Moussa Sissoko £30M
Victor Janssen £17M
Georges Kevin N’Kodou £10M

Existing Team

Lloris
Walker Alderwireld Vertonghen Rose
Wanyama Dembele
Eriksen Dele Son
Kane

Subs
Vorm, Trippier, Wimmer, Davies, Dier, Lamela

Youth
W.Peters, C.Vickerrs, Winks, Onomah
 
Im taking Gundogan for the 20m City paid.....utterly underrated what he did for City

And try to do what DL couldn't and negotiate with Chelsea for Salah....beating off Roma

I’d add to that the other Moussa Dembele who went to Celtic on a free and was the other CF we were heavily linked with over Jansen that summer.
 
Sissoko turned out to be a really effective player, was one of the best safety's in the PL for a time, key part of the team that got to the CL final.

Will always be one of my favourite's.
