Tottenham Hotspur cleared out a number of players during the summer transfer window during a major overhaul of their squad, but the early stages of the current campaign suggest there are still more that need to go.
Tottenham have got off to the worst possible start despite an encouraging summer that saw 10 new players arrive in north London, which included the club breaking their transfer record twice to sign Mateus Fernandes and then Sandro Tonali.
Spurs lie bottom of the Premier League table heading into the three-week international break, despite being expected to compete higher up the standings following two successive 17th-place finishes.
Roberto De Zerbi has a lot of work to do during the next weeks to get his Tottenham team firing and moving up the league, starting with a big game against Manchester United at Old Trafford on October 10.
One issue that has been overhanging De Zerbi and the north London outfit in recent weeks is the future of Richarlison, who failed to secure a move away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium during the summer despite heavy links with Everton, Trabzonspor and Vasco Da Gama.
Now, the Brazil international is stuck at Spurs and unable to play after he was left out of their 25-man Premier League squad.
GMS sources revealed previously that the 29-year-old is ready to take the club to court as he looks to agree a contract termination that would allow him to sign for another club on a free transfer.
If that isn't possible, then he will have to sit on the sidelines until January and either try to show his worth to De Zerbi in training during that time, or work on securing an immediate exit on January 1.
The latter seems the most plausible option right now, given De Zerbi also omitted him from the one game he was able to play, against Liverpool in the EFL Cup.
Richarlison looks to have played his last game for Tottenham, but he shouldn't be the only one.
Vicario Needs to Go Permanently Next Summer
One of the big changes that happened in the Tottenham first-team during the summer was the departure of Guglielmo Vicario on loan, with the Italian goalkeeper deciding last season that he wanted a return to Italy and a new experience.
The 29-year-old ended up joining Juventus on a season-long loan deal with an £8.6m option to buy for the Serie A giants.
Vicario has already started all five of their league matches this term, conceding four goals and keeping three clean sheets, with a season-ending injury suffered by Kamil Grabara seeing the Old Lady move to sign Neto on a free transfer to provide competition for the Italian.
The £75,000-a-week stopper now has a big opportunity to prove why Juve should sign him permanently, but whatever happens, he shouldn't be allowed to wear the Spurs shirt again.
The keeper looked like a good addition and number one for Tottenham in his first seasons, but he started to become more and more of a liability as the club recorded successive 17th-place finishes.
The Italy international missed the crucial run-in for Spurs last term after having surgery, returning as an unused substitute for the final two matches against Chelsea and Everton, with Antonin Kinsky preferred between the sticks.
Earlier in the campaign, he'd been mocked by the Premier League's official social media account after sending a free-kick straight out of play, before the post was deleted, as the cracks in his game began to show.
Tottenham's Current Goalkeeper Options:
Antonin Kinsky
Martin Dubravka
Brandon Austin
TalkSPORT pundit Gabby Agbonlahor was left unimpressed by what he saw from the Italian following the final-day win against the Toffees, that saw Spurs avoid relegation to the Championship.
Agbonlahor labelled him as an 'embarrassment' for the way he acted during the game after post-match with Seamus Coleman, and it was just another reason why he shouldn't be seen in a Tottenham shirt again.
Whether it's Juventus or another club, Spurs need to officially move on from Vicario next summer with a permanent transfer away from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
