Spurs allegedly making a £60m bid for Gakpo. Some people on the site would like him gone because of his form last season. Me personally, I believe his loss of form was due to the tactical masterclass implemented by The Goonie.
Anyway, my main point being, if they do decide to move Gakpo on they must at least have his replacement signed or at least on the way. Our squad is so thin, we can't move players on in the hope we get like for like in.

I'd happily see what he can do under Iraola, Baz. He's looked sharp in training and decent for Holland too. He can also step in if needed, if Isak needs a rest. Not ideal, but better than what we'd have if he went and wasn't replaced!

No way Gakpo is only worth £60m. He had a solid World Cup and is generally under appreciated.
Slot damage has a lot to answer for. Ruined Gakpo's game last season, considering he ousted Diaz the season before.

Lads, I would absolutely love to see Gakpo with Iraola in charge.

We should most definitely keep Gakpo. It makes zero sense in selling him. A replacement will not be easy to find. He's a very very good player and pro and has a good attitude, never injured, is disciplined on the pitch, takes instructions, can play various roles, will provide CF position whilst he recovers or Ai gets injured (God forbid!), and will more than prove his worth with Ai at the helm.
It will be a stupid decision by the club to sell him. Very stupid indeed. That's my tuppence worth, anyway, like it or not.

Agreed, Bazza. He'll do well under his tutelage without doubt.
14 Aug 2026 17:27:19
He's too limited and we should seek to cash in.
14 Aug 2026 17:31:14
I'd keep Gakpo unless we received an offer we couldn't refuse. i.e. 90m. Now I'm not for 1 minute saying he's worth that, but in current market clubs paying similar prices for similar quality players.
I've always liked Gakpo as a player, good attitude, works hard and scores goals, bit 1 dimensional at times but still a v good player for me and he on long term contract so not that he going to be leaving for nothing soon.

He didn't oust Diaz. He only got the spot because we needed Diaz up front. It wasn't as if Diaz was dropped for him.
14 Aug 2026 17:38:40
Maybe it's Gakpo who wants out?
His club dad has gone and sees Barcola as being the first choice lw.
14 Aug 2026 17:40:24
I'm with you, Barry. Gakpo and Mac Allister's form was down to Slot. Both looked different players in the World Cup.
14 Aug 2026 17:42:39
Gakpo can be improved upon. It depends if we sign someone who's superior.
14 Aug 2026 17:42:59
Selling Gakpo only makes sense if we have two more forwards coming in, with at least one of them to be able to cover CF.
I like Gakpo and would keep him, but with Bb coming in, maybe he doesn't want to play second fiddle.

Iraola clearly isn't going to stockpile 4 left-wing options.
(That's Ngumoha, Munoz, Gakpo + Barcola).
As soon as Barcola is confirmed, then Gakpo is very clearly off.
And I am 100% sure that they will bring in a decent right-wing option, and hopefully another CM option better than Grav, Mac etc.
While the Slot-Hughes-Edwards clusterfudge has clearly caused issues this summer, we should probably thank our lucky stars, that 7 of the first 8 fixtures are winnable, and it needn't necessarily hurt us.

Keep Gakpo unless we get silly money for him. He's backup if Isak gets injured. In that scenario, can shift Barcola to the top and play Gakpo on the left. Rio and Munoz can play on the right.
There is no way we should be selling him for anything below £90m in this market. The competition for places will also hopefully spur him on (no pun intended).
14 Aug 2026 19:09:17
If we sign the overpriced fella from PSG, I think Gakpo goes. We've never really had a big squad, a great first team, couple of decent subs, then kids.
14 Aug 2026 19:15:00
Being right footed, could Cody Gakpo not switch to the right wing?
14 Aug 2026 19:37:18
It's increasingly looking like Gakpo will go to be replaced by Barcola. Rio and Munoz will play more off the right. That'll probably end our incomings this window unless there's.
