Van De Beek is average no way 80m plus him.
That's a good idea; and I suggested Vlahovic, Isak, and Buendia to replace Kane, Vinicius, and Lamela.
Was told that our line up would then look like Villa's, which got quite a few Agrees.
I was high on Buendia when Norwich were in the PL, but I haven't seen him since.
Something along those lines would work. As much as it would hurt it would probably be best to lose Son as well, as insane as it may sound. Force us to fully commit to a new system instead of trying to hang on to the old one.
Pereira at West Brom would be a real good get as well as a playmaker just behind the attacking line.
16 goals, 15 assists; player of the season in the Championship. Saw some of his highlight reels and he was pulling off insane passes and displaying superb first touch. He has now been called up to Argentina national team.
It may be the Championship, but even in that league I haven't seen such a volume of goals and assists. Far superior to anything Grealish and Maddison managed, who are both now established PL stars.
Also, it was far better than Buendia's Championship figures from 2018-2019; which shows he is improving with age. Now 24 so close to prime.
Not sure losing Son and Kane is a risk worth taking. They are the 2 most clinical players in the league (stats with goals vs xG prove this), so need to keep one for reliable source of goals.
People are going to crap on every Kane replacement line-up, we aren't going to get anyone that individually replaces Kane or that is close to as exciting as Kane.
The plan has to be to increase scoring all over the team. We need to bring in a RW closer to Son's level than what we have had recently. Bale has talent but he can't be relied on for 38 games playing 90 minutes. I am fine bringing him back but I think he needs to be the 4th guy in a front 3, not a key guy.
I think Vlahovic and Isak have great potential and likely are guys that could turn out to be Kane replacements in a few years, maybe sooner. It is really disappointing that we didn't have someone like Isak a few years ago when he left Dortmund so at least we could know if he would be able to adapt to PL. Kane leaving really shows how poorly we handled the striker position as it sure would be nice to have a striker option even if they aren't a direct replacement.
Another name I would go for/keep an eye on that flies under the radar is Jordan Larsson. Currently at Spartak Moscow on a contract until 2023.
Left footed striker with a playing style similar to Son (not on the same level obviously) to look for a Spurs comparison.
Currently on 15 goals (third in the golden boot race) and 5 assists in the Russian league and has fired them into the CL qualifiers.
Should be getting his full competitive debut for the national team at the Euros with Zlatan's injury.

it’s also player integration. We can sell Son and buy a top draw wide forward but it can take a season to get them going. We can only sell 1 of them at a time IMO.
Spot on, this has to be the attitude.
That's why I was surprised when people agreed this would be similar to Villa
Vlahovic and Isak are exciting prospects. Buendia is skilful and has end product.
In terms of CBs, Torres and Bastoni not only are great for their clubs, but start for Spain and Italy respectively.
I'm not sure what people are expecting..
It's not feasible to get a CF who can do nearly what Kane does. Maybe Haaland would come close, but he's going to a mega club. We have no choice but to take some risks with talented younger players.
It's interesting that he has managed to add goals to his game. What I loved about him is that he had lots of vision, and made it his business to go for the jugular with his passing. Lots of lots of vertical passes.
I kind of see where people are going with the Villa thing, to be honest with you, even though I have never seen that striker and very little of those CBs. All 3 of those midfielders are irritating a lot of people right now.
Depending on what happens at Madrid I could actually see Bale wanting to come back for another year even if Son and Kane goes.
He'd probably like taking the role of returning hero. But again that probably depends on what happens in Madrid. They do not want to keep him.
We can't afford to buy more midfielders given our more pressing issues in other areas of the pitch.
Ndombele, Lo Celso, Alli, Skipp, Hojbjerg. All have different talents. The new manager has to find a way to get 3 of those 5 to form a cohesive midfield unit.
Is that an actual 3-5-2, or that poxy 5-3-2 that people like pretend is a counter-attacking and forward-thinking formation when it fucking absolutely isn't?
I respectfully disagree. I think we have a massive problem in midfield.
Buendia can play in mid too, in case none of Alli GLC & Ndombele are cutting it in attacking mid.
Or do you think we need to buy another DM? I want Skipp to be given a shot at starting XI as he's a Spurs academy youngster.
