There are a number of players Tottenham Hotspur fans are getting increasingly fed up with during the course of this dismally disappointing 2025/26 Premier League season in which Spurs continue to look more like a bottom half of the table side than a top four contender in English football.
Richarlison and Rodrigo Bentancur are two players Tottenham could have sold last summer, but, well, Spurs didn't really sell anyone other than Bryan Gil - not even Yves Bissouma and Manor Solomon. The last of those two names will obviously be on the shopping block this coming January transfer window, but there are a number of Spurs fans hoping for a more successful and competent name to join them, too.
Goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario is actually one of the best pure shot stoppers in all of European football, but the Italian netminder is quite poor at everything else. His distribution, ball security, handling, reading of crosses, and leadership have all drawn bitter criticisms from the Spurs fan base, even as manager Thomas Frank continues to publicly and privately defend a goalkeeper who has cost his team many points in the Premier League this season.
Tottenham could still switch up later
Ahead of transfer rumors that James Trafford could be available over at Manchester City for a January switch, there were rumblings among Spurs supporters that Vicario could be axed next month so that Spurs could then sign a younger and better keeper in Trafford, who had just made a big switch in the summer transfer window from Burnley to Manchester City.
However, according to a report from Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, Tottenham Hotspur actually currently have "no plans" to sell Guglielmo Vicario in the January transfer window. Although Thomas Frank would like the former Empoli star to improve his distribution, Spurs are not ready to part ways with the experiened shot stopper just yet.
Now, that does jibe with previous reporting from other Tottenham writers, and the common refrain is that Vicario won't be on the chopping block just yet, but he could be sold in the summer 2026 transfer window if a better goalkeeper is available - and, of course, if Vic continues to be unconvincing with his all around play.
Tottenham need to start seeing more accountability and consistency from Vicario. In order to compete with clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City at the top of the table, Spurs need a goalkeeper like those guys do; someone who they can rely on and who won't throw games away with sloppy errors.
