Definately need to get in and negotiate with the players regarding new contracts etc however people also conveniently forget that Spurs played away from home this season. Wembley might only be up the road but ultimately it wasn't their home patch.
The season did wilt with defeat to Man City followed by the FA semi final defeat but to finish with Champions league qualification is a good season imo. If you take it all into context spurs are the highest placed London team which hasn't happened for years. Beat Chelsea at Stamford Bridge. They ran Juventus close and were the width of a post away from taking the game to extra time. Beat Real Madrid in the group stages. Second half against Man Utd was awful but then again Utd didn't play football in the second half and were happy enough to sit deep.
While disappointed after that game I would think most Spurs fans will be happen with the season and look forward to big games at WHL nest season. Negotiate with the players who want to stay and keep them happy, get rid of the players who are not up to it or don't want to stay and bring in a couple more if required. With a bit of luck Kane will start scoring in August and they'll have a better start to the season.

Rose and Alderweireld played very little football this season, so if they were to lose them they wouldn't necessarily be losing starting regulars going into the next season. Huge losses if they go imo, as I think both are top quality, but the actual disruption to the starting 11 is a tiny bit minimised by the fact they've played little this season. Players like Dier, Sissoko should be moved on imo, lots of players out there of far better standard that could replace them.

I agree totally. Have mentioned that myself before. Only mentioning it as in terms of disruption, it's definitely a positive that Sanchez and Vertonghen played so often together this season, so there could be plenty of progress as a pairing next season imo. Davies is a fine player, I just don't think he's at Roses level though. Spurs forward planning in that regard is actually quite good, they would be in a far worse place right now if Davies and Sanchez were definite starters next season but only had a handful of appearances under their belts this season.

At the start of the season with the Wembley impact most people thought they would struggle to get into the top 4.

Why will Rose move?

Didn't Rose make comments last summer about not being paid enough? Then when he was back from injury he was no longer first choice. I presume unless he's given a new contract and told he will be first choice, he would definitely push for a move.

What’s the old saying........a bird on the hand
