Oh sure, I think maybe I misunderstood. I think it’s only one big CB signing too. If we signed two it would be a young up and comer or someone like Lenglet on loan.

Why don’t we buy the best attacking RB available and another CF to cover for our preferred 3?
Don’t even need to blow the whole budget this window.
Perisic free. Forster free. Bissouma looks a monster deal. I’m happy with Davies at LCB- he’s looked very solid for us to be fair (& while I like him as a bloke, I had doubts about his top level capacity). In the latter part of last season we were conceding fuck all and scoring for fun.
I love all this talk of winning the league. But competing is what Tony has said. We have a long way to go to get near to the oil club of Manchester and in fairness, to the scousers who reached every final they could and got over 90 points.
I also love that we’re no longer there to make up the numbers and can argue a legitimate shot at a trophy.
But we won’t be fixed in one window.
The fact that we are getting it done early is wonderful. I hated the 11th hour failed “attempts” every season, & the “not bothering this window” for 18 months.
I’m very optimistic and hope we win the clean sweep. But we won’t off the back of one window.

The issue maybe that it's both expensive and not good enough. For example, Dumfries maybe that best attacking RB available in this window, but outside of good movement, he's very rough around the edge. He's a more mature version right footed Ryan Sessegnon in a sense. For the price Inter would want for him, you may be able to get Hakimi in another window. I don't think we have to go all in for Dumfries in this example unless the price is right. Rather try Perisic as RWB, and pursue a cheaper but decent LWB in this case.
We got linked with Hakimi few weeks ago. It's the matter of availability.
CF signing is a must for a long time now. For all the excitement so far this summer, it would still be a disappointment if we can't get a good CF in.
I have mention this already a couple of times, and i did not want to repeat myself.
It was exactly what i mean on the market, and by name. As well as the squad. I think they had better squad than us coming last season, but that's not longer true.
And i agree with that their manager is untested. He could be hit or miss. Let's hope he is a big miss.
And you know that team is always favored by the referee.
I’m not saying our business is done, but the rebuild didn’t start this window. It started with Romero, Kulu, and Bentancour.
This window is a continuation of the project. Not the beginning.
I reckon Conte would use him in the same way he usually used him at Inter, bring him on in a game where it’s 0-0 and hope for a piece of magic from him to score a free kick, get a late screamer, unlock a defence with a pass etc.
As you say though, I’m not sure that would be something Eriksen would actually want himself. In some ways I’m actually surprised that Eriksen is considering coming back here so strongly considering the lack of game time Conte gave him at Inter.
If we play 3-5-2, then we will definitely need a 5th. And Conte may very well prefer to play 3-5-2, and even if he decide to play 3-4-3 or different one, then is going to be a strong option.
But if we take Eriksen then we will probably be done with the MFs and hope for Bentancur to be our maestro in the midfielder.
But that is still unknown. Again this is my opinion. We need strong creative CM, and i already explain on what type, and why.
Season is going to be very long, and Conte want to have more option and to be able to try different thing. So more option - the better.
For 90m no thank you .
porto lost their two best prospects in the space of a few days
always thought vitinha would be good here
So far Forster (2nd GK), Perisic (LWB) and Bissouma (CM) signed.
Conte was quoted as a minimum of 6 players in, so I'm guessing the 3 players we definitely want in now are :
RWB (almost certainly Spence)
CB (quite possibly Bremer, not a LCB but best CB available)
Forward (lots of players rumoured, including Martinez, Richardilson)
I think Eriksen will be the 7th if he comes, and useful as he can play both CM in a 3 and as an AM.
Players leaving would then be Reguilon, Royal, Winks, Rodon and probably Bergwijn.
But I think once we are pretty certain on those ones above coming in, we look at who else might be available as an upgrade on who we have who will take us forward - I don't think we'll sign players for the sake of it or players who are not very good if we think better will be available in January or next summer. May sign a couple of youngsters as well
With 6 or 7 in of the quality we have seen so far, I think we give Chelsea a run for their money in 3rd, and will finish a lot closer to Liverpool and ManCity than this year, maybe quarter finals in CL etc.
And next summer should be more fine tuning the squad with maybe 4-6 coming in.

This is our guy. Levy/Paratici make it possible !!!
Buying Kulusevski in January is a strong suggestion to me that we will be playing a front 3 for many of of our matches,
So whilst I'm not disagreeing Conte may play 352 in some matches (if we sign Eriksen) his recruitment so far doesn't seem to support solely playing 352.

"Whaddia mean Spurs have done all their business"?
I guess we will see. To be fair in some matches i prefer 3-5-2, in other 3-4-3 seems the better option. Completely depends on the opponent. And i think Conte will probably look it like that. In some matches we will definitely want to have 3 in the center.
