Spurs fans have been discussing a possible dream team featuring players who have played for the North London club in the last decade.
The Spurs Web shared an image originally designed by COYS EDITS on Twitter of a squad featuring the likes of Luka Modric, Gareth Bale and Mousa Dembele, asking fans to imagine how good the team would be if everyone was in their prime. Of the squad, five players remain at the club – with Hugo Lloris in between the sticks, whilst Jan Vertonghen, Toby Alderweireld, Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son also feature.
The recently departed Danny Rose and Christian Eriksen also make the cut, with Manchester City right-back Kyle Walker completing the dream eleven. Many fans discussed other potential options for the side, whilst others commented about how they think the side would do in the Premier League today.
Who would you have managing a Spurs dream team?
Jose Mourinho
Mauricio Pochettino
Harry Redknapp

It’s too depressing to compare this team with our current state of affairs

What a team!

These Spurs fans clearly rate the team of the decade and perhaps wish that they had players such as Modric and Bale available to them right now.
What do we think?
It is a strong-looking side, but the fact that Spurs still have five of these players in their first-team squad (although Vertonghen may leave at the end of the season with his contract expiring) suggests that Mourinho’s side could be a force to reckon with next season.
