Victor Wanyama made his long-awaited return from injury against Crystal Palace on Sunday but looked rusty as Tottenham fell to a 2-0 defeat at Selhurst Park. While his below-par performance was likely down to his poor match fitness, some supporters don’t believe he’s good enough and said on social media that Tottenham ‘should cash in’ at the earliest available opportunity.
I think we should look to cash in/ sell the following players this summer:
Vorm ????????
Trippier ????????
Davies ????????
Sanchez ????????
Trippier ????????
Wanyama ????????
GKN ????????
Janssen ????????
Trippier ????????
Llorente ????????
And Trippier ????????Needs a major freshen up and players can’t get comfortable anymore #revolution

I was questioning the same thing earlier, do we need a clear out in the summer? I think you seriously have to question all of Wanyama, Dier, Nkoudou, Trippier, Lamela, Vorm, Skipp and Llorente’s futures

Poch is too nice. He spoke of how hard it was to tell players they had made errors in CL and non UK players. He needs to be ruthless. Sell Davies, Wanyama, Jansen, GkN, Llorente and Vorm. Bring in a UK gk, Ryan sessgnon, top creative CM mould of Modric, DM and a striker.

I’ll take anything for Vorm, even a packet of pork scratchings????Wanyama can go too, as long as we find better replacements i couldn’t care who goes tbh obviously not the likes of Eriksen, Kane, Son etc but i wouldn’t mind selling Toby and using the money to sign a top CB mate

Kieran trippier
Victor Wanyama
Ben Davies
G K Nkoudou
Fernando Llorente
Vincent Jansen
Erik Lamela
Eric DierClear them out, then complain about strength in depth…

Llorente and Vorm will leave for free this summer, Trippier and Davies combined are worth no more than 35 million (probably less) and would be lucky to get anything for Wanyama or Janssen

Summer shake up:
Outs:
Trippier
Davies
Llorente
Janssen
Wanyama
Skipp (Loan)
N’Koudou
Vorm
Foyth (Loan)Ins:
New back up CB with experience
2 new CMs – 1 first team quality and one backup
2 full back back ups pushing first team
New back up striker who scored in the prem— We Are THFC (@WeAreTHFC1) January 28, 2019
If Spurs can only sell before they buy, then in summer its simple: move on from Davies, Trippier, Wanyama, Lamela, Nkoudou, Llorente.

Wanyama has made just eight appearances in all competitions for Tottenham this season, racking up a meagre 385 minutes of football. Prior to Sunday’s meeting with Palace, the Kenyan international hadn’t played since November. He spent two months sidelined with a knee injury but didn’t impress too much on his return.
The midfielder’s form had been waning for some time, leading many to question his long-term future at Tottenham, but Mauricio Pochettino may have a difficult decision to make over the summer. With Mousa Dembele joining Guangzhou R&F, Spurs aren’t blessed with many fit and in-form options.
Wanyama and Moussa Sissoko aren’t 100% while Eric Dier has been short of form. Fans want to see changes made to the squad after eliminations from the FA Cup and League Cup, and Wanyama is one name on most of their lists.
