If there's one attacking mid that is realistic and affordable who are you taking? Maddison? Ruiz? Brandt? Hakan C?
It's not a very varied pool of possibilities out there and I definitely think we need a little craft in that area when I look at the squad. Eriksen the obvious one but doesn't seem to have a lot of movement on that front at the moment.

Barca properly whoring every orifice they have , i hope this means they can buy Raphina now.... 10% for 25 years
TBH, I don't think most of the football world see's Conte as our actual manager, they see him as our caretaker that is just here for a season.So there's a lack of leadership but spurs have Conte, a real leader
Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight
Really hope he signs a long term contract when he extends.
Depends if he can hold a tune.
He’s our manager. It’s about the here and now rather than what was or what might be in 12 months. I’d love to see him sign up long term, but he doesn’t tend to do long term. So enjoy it while it blazes and be prepared for him to vanish as unexpectedly as his arrival.
Love how good he is in the air and all the scrappy effort goals. We have so much class and skill with Kane, Son, and Kulusevski adding an absolute bulldog alongside them makes so much sense. And he’s still very skilled.
He reminds me a lot of Lamela in his shithousery, all out effort, and the way Everton fans worship him.
Except he’s better and not permacrocked.

Great song...what's the tune?
hes not bad at all technically, uses both feet when he dribbles, can score with both feet, hes decent. his on the ball quality will naturally look a lot better now hes around better players. hes actually a very well rounded forward, you cant say hes poor in any major aspect...uses both feet, can head, isnt weak, isnt slow, isnt timid. haven't watched him enough to see what his decision making is really like, but he ticks all the quick glance boxes anyway.
I heavily disagree tbh. His scoring record for a 25 year old in 5 prem seasons is exceptional. And he’s been playing with dross. Think he could easily threaten 20 goals in all comps next season.
Looks like our transfer business this summer on Day 20 after the Window opened looking like :
1 Ivan Perisic,
2 Fraser Forster,
3 Yves Bissouma,
4 Richarlison de Antrade , (Per Fabrizio Romano and other social media)
5 Djed Spence - Work in Progress
6 Clement Lenglet - Work in Progress
7 2nd CB, still to be identified ?
Other targets could include another RWB, CM/AM .........
10 days to go until the South Korea tour starts ....... and 2 months before the transfer window closes.
Excellent progress so far !

Not bad, but not £60m good either. Yes he uses both feet dribble, but he's not a great dribbler, one footed Kulu, who we're buying for £40m is probably better.
He can shoot with both feet, has a decent rate of finishing but not especially clinical. He practically doesn't score from outside the box.
He's definitely well rounded, his heading ability, and movement in the box definitely stand out.
Your point about his on the ball ability looking better with better players is pretty much what I said.

Not really the part of his game I was talking about. If he plays with Kane/Kulu, he can definitely get a lot of goals cos he has great movement in the box, and doesn't generally do a lot of Sterling type point blank misses.
However, he may be a bit of a deluxe Moura in terms of creating chances for others. He doesn't seem to have a great range of passing, his contribution in that regard will be more through physically wearing out CBs, pinning defenders, dummy runs etc. to create space.

Destroying the clubs long term finances to sign raphinha and a 40 year old Lewandowski. This is the way
60m for brazils #9 whos 25 years old can never be bad business can it.
end of the day we can only speculate now, after his first 45 playing with the big boys we will have much more of an idea.
its already been an unbelievable window. signed two premier league clubs best players in bissouma and richarlison. doesnt even look like we are done, looks like another 2 at least. since conte has come in with this window and bent and kulu, the team and squad has been massively upgraded.
