I think Adama would be a good addition. He scares the fuck out of opponents and drags players to him causing chaos. He skill set not so much, but to change a game and lift the tempo, for £20M would be decent business.
and if anyone can alter his game it’s Cont.
Richardason over Jesus every time. He is a bastard to play against. I
We need high IQ players but if we could get him for cheap, I wouldn’t mind Adama
 
If we wrap up our business before preseason there would still be a few complaining about why we stopped strengthening and have unfinished business.

With Hugo Lloris turning 36 next .... Spurs should start looking for a replacement - and this is the goalkeeper I want to replace him: Jan Oblak. I really hope he's not joining Newcastle or any other EPL this summer.
Man Utd., Man City, Chelski, Liverpool, PSG, Real M., and Barca are all set with top-class goalies for now so this would be the time to lure him away from Atleti. His contract expires in 2023.


Newcastle-linked Oblak open to Premier League transfer as Atletico Madrid goalkeeper considers future​

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Jan Oblak would be open to a Premier League transfer this summer, with Newcastle among those rumoured to be keen on signing him.

The 29-year-old - who will be in action on Tuesday as Atletico take on Manchester United at Old Trafford - has entered the final 18 months of his contract at the Wanda Metripolitano, and could be available at a cut-price fee ahead of the 2022-23 campaign.

GOAL has learned that a move to England would be welcomed by the Slovenia international, though only to a club Oblak deems to be a potential title-challenger.

Why would Oblak leave Atletico?​

After eight years with the Spanish champions, Oblak would be open to a new challenge, and has spoken previously of his admiration of the Premier League.

"The Premier League has strong teams, maybe the strongest," Oblak, who speaks excellent English, told BBC Sport in April 2021. "I don't know what the future will bring, but I am sure that in any league I would play in I could play well.

"I have now been in Spain for seven years. Let's see. I'm still young and I still have some years in front of me. The most important thing for me is the hope that I do not have a lot of injuries, and then we'll see."

Would Atletico Madrid let Oblak leave?​

Atletico manager Diego Simeone has previously described Oblak as being "the Messi of goalkeepers", with the ex-Benfica man the reigning La Liga Player of the Season.

His form in 2021-22 has, however, been patchy, with Oblak blamed in some quarters for his positioning as Anthony Elanga scored for Manchester United when the two sides met in the first leg of their last-16 Champions League tie.

Atleti's usually watertight defence has been anything but during their defence of the Liga title, and though an ever-changing back line has not helped, Oblak has been forced to take his share of the responsibility.

That said, Simeone would still likely be reluctant to let his No.1 leave, even if it increases the possibility of him departing on a free in the summer of 2023.

Chelsea's Kepa Arrizabalaga could be considered as a replacement should Oblak leave, with the Spain international having rejuvenated his career over the past two years while backing-up Edouard Mendy at Stamford Bridge.

Which teams want to sign Oblak?​

Oblak has previously been of interest to Manchester United and Chelsea, but neither team are on the lookout for a new goalkeeper given the performances of David de Gea and Mendy, respectively, this season.

Liverpool, Woolwich, Manchester City and Tottenham are also secure in the goalkeeping department, especially after Hugo Lloris signed a new contract at Spurs ahead of his previous deal expiring this summer.

That leaves Newcastle as the only club who could realistically afford Oblak this summer, with the Magpies set to secure Premier League survival following a resurgence under Eddie Howe in the second half of the season.

Upgrades are likely to be sought by Howe in a number of positions this summer, and Oblak would certainly represent the kind of statement signing that the club's Saudi owners may look to make during their first year in charge.

Oblak, though, is keen to join a team that has proven it can challenge for major honours, and with Newcastle's project still in its infancy despite their riches, any move by them could be met with resistance by the shot-stopper.

I think we have too many other problem positions to fill to spend much money on a top goalkeeper when we still have Llloris.

My guess is we aim to sign a new no 1 GK next summer. Oblak free in summer 2023 could be interesting .... maybe Pat will have a talk with him to line that up ....

Meanwhile this summer - back up GK (fee HG Forster), RWB, LWB. LCB, CM, forward ......
 
Spence looks like a young Hakimi, the same height & physical traits

Conte will coach him into certain movements and he will do well in my opinion

Forster, Perisic & Eriksen for free, Spence is a cheap enough deal, leaves us with over £100 mil for a defender, midfielder & striker

Almost like we are playing football manager
 
Would be easily the best defence in the league.

A back 3 that can take care of themselves and are all good to great passers allowing two of the most dangerous wingbacks in Europe to go and do their thing.

You stick a Bissouma/SMS alongside Bentancur/Skipp in CM and I'd find it hard to argue anyone has a better XI than us in the league.

Lloris
Romero - Dier - Bastoni
Perisic --------------------- Kostic
Bentancur --- SMS
Kulusevski -- Kane -- Son​

Messi on the bench i guess?
