Very good return for us. Another academy success. They may not all go into the first team, but we’ve made some good money on academy products.
We've also made money on his loan fees over the last 5 years or so - quite possibly 3m/5m or so ?
352 is a very popular and successful system.
Yes you lose that attacker but you gain a creative midfielder. You absolutely need two great wingbacks though, which is another reason Conte hasn't been able to do it here yet.
I think the problem with that system is that Kane is too static these days - atm that is compensated for by both Son and Kulusevski being able to run ahead.
Not sure the wing backs or extra cm gives us that mobility.
Just my opinion of course.
He's not static. He's playing #10 because we don't have one and someone has to play in that pocket to give Son service.
Eriksen would free Kane back up.
What a load of cock.
Dier will very much be a part of Contes squad next season, and rightly so.
Deal with it.
Fine with taking Eriksen back as long as he doesn’t take any fucking corners.
Not sexy and I'm sure we won't go for him but he will be a good pickup for a Premier League team, his movement in the box is fantastic

He's a poor finisher, but that's not the reason to not want him, he's not the right profile for what we need. We need someone more physical, like Llorente but not shit.
Good business and we save a homegrown spot.
Inter's 352 suggests otherwise.....
I'm curious if with a full preseason and better rwb, we try Dejan in that creative mid position in a 3-5-2. I think he'd be excellent and similarly free up Kane as Eriksen would.
We'll need 2 players minimum for every position won't we so:
3 keepers
6 cbs
4 wbs
4 cms
6 fws (2 at least able to play no 9)
Probably room for another cm and/or a multi position type like Eriksen, plus any younger players who impress in pre season.
We'll not only need to rotate more often but we should expect more injuries due to the increased number of games.
I think Conte wants the minimum replaced:
Reg
Emerson
Gollini
Winks
Berg
Plus a back up for Kane and a LCB to rotate with Davies. Which will mean one of Tanganga/Rodon leave/go out on loan.
Ideally he'd want more but somewhere around 6/7 players in is my prediction.
Apart from the above, there's no future for Lo Celsius and Tanguy, although the latter will be hard to shift. Gil and Clarke may be loaned out again or sold and Sarr will be assessed in pre season (and probably loaned out again).
We'll need those players who are ok with getting sporadic game time and it's not possible to maintain the same level of quality through the squad. I've no problem with people like Sanchez being squad players for example, if he's happy with that.
I've no doubt this has all been laid out and planned for and Para has made contact with some players/clubs already, maybe even got some deals quite far down the road. I think the above is possible but it's a tough job to shift so many out and in in one window but only Tanguy should be a problem - the rest will fetch decent money and find clubs easily enough hopefully.

I’m really underwhelmed by the news Frasier Forster could be on his way. It can only make sense to increase our homegrown quota
Given that Conte has done an enviable job in getting some solid contributions out of Emerson, Doherty and Sessegnon. Any chance he can inspire Ndombele to play like he did in his initial few games at Spurs?
I remember Moussa.D had a similar transfer window where there were no takers and he seemed a bad fit into the team before Pochettino worked his magic and turned him into a monster midfielder operating alongside Wanyama

I'm rather interested in Emma Watson and Abella Danger, now what we're gonna do with that information ?
