if we can’t afford to buy a CB until Kane is sold, what was the actual budget this summer?

Basically (overly basic but you get me) we had the first instalments for:

Vicario 20m
Maddison 40m - Winks 10m
Solomon - free so far but maybe 10m

We are looking at a summer budget of 60m
No, that's budget spent. We're still in negotiations, so there's still money available. How much is anyone's guess
 
approximately £30m for Hojbjerg and Reguillon would be a-ok with me. Getting those wages off the bill and we’d have zero excuse not to buy a CB. Ideally we could recoup around another £25m for Tanguy/Sanchez and use that to buy Tapsoba.

Yeah it’s taking a loss and yeah £55m could be £70m in a best case scenario with negotiation but fuck we are SIX senior players over the squad limit at the moment. We aren’t in a position to demand exorbitant fees.
 
In a possession system?

Where he needs to control the ball and pass it?

He does one thing: run fast with the ball against high line defenses.

It made some sense for Conte as a wing back.

If you think he’s a better fit than Kulu when he can’t cross or pass, I don’t know what else to say to you
He can beat his man from a standing start, and he can deliver a low cross with his right foot, both are things Kulu struggles with.

We spent £40m on Porro who is superior to Traore in every facet of the game except raw speed.

Pass. He doesn’t bring anything Porro doesn’t.

Kulu meanwhile brings a very unique skill set.
 
He could unironically do a better job than Kulu. If his main job is to beat his man and send a low cross he could probably do it.

If we are discussing Porro and Kulu vs Adama Traore, one side of the debate is genuinely lost.

I’m done for the day.

Moments like this help me to realise how stupid it is spending time discussing Spurs transfers this summer.

I’m legit grateful
