I think you're reading too much into the wording. The guy is Italian. But yes, I'm sceptical how many will be bought in for sure. This is Spurs after all. If fans arent cynical about our transfer dealings then I'm not sure enough attention is being paid.

I like the idea of CBs that can cover full back.
Nobody decent wants to be backup full back so thats one way of guaranteeing more games.

you are actually paying any attention to a tweet that starts of saying we want 1 more attacking player in addition to Werner then ends the tweet saying we want "at least 1"?
I am paying attention to what knew as soon as Werner arrived.
Doue is maybe an interesting way they could fix this because he plays LW,RW, 10, and 8.
If they signed him and a striker I could see that being 2 more forwards after Werner.
This team needs some money thrown at it.
Eze, Toney, Gallagher, Geerutida would be a decent window

I'm a little bit torn over Gallagher. I think we should be aiming higher. God knows we can afford to.
But I do see him as an improvement on what we have.
Could be a bit of a bellwether with regards to the Ange / Levy dynamic. A lot of his most passionate supporters have been trying to convince us he badly wants Gallagher. Well, he's seemingly there for the taking.
Who would you say is a more appropriate player for our system?
The
Window
is
not
open
ffs
how can you know something when it hasn't happened?
But it's the transfer window where every tweet is taken as gospel!
There's hidden meanings everywhere!
Clues everywhere!
If a tweet says our business is done for the summer...it's true!
If another tweet says we're looking to bring in 3 more players...it's true!
If a tweet says Everton have won the transfer window...it's true and why can't the bald man run us more like them!
Open your mind and let in the light damn you!!
Because I'm a Spurs fan
What type of player is Gallagher though? Would would he specifically add to our midfield that we don’t already have? Is he really going to improve it sufficiently?
From my watching of him, he appears a very hard working, box to box 8 that is quite limited technically and not very press resistant. Extremely similar in many ways to PEH, who we are desperate to be shot of.
And then throw in the fact he’s a boyhood Chelsea fan and their current captain, and going by sound bites from the media, he would much rather sign a new deal there than leave.
It just seems very strange to me that we are going for him in this way considering all the above.
It funny because you've based your opinion on us not signing more then 1 other attacking option based on past history in regards to Levy.
Yet with Ange you state you believe he will bring in a set piece coach and change things despite past history AND his own words saying otherwise.
At least be consistent.
Well Richy can play left and central.
Tbh I thought he was kinda limited technically but been very impressed with him this past season. Actually think a decent comp might be the role Wijnaldum played for Klopp's Liverpool. Think he'd be a good fit for us. Desperate to see more passing ability in our midfield though, we have nobody to switch the play, except for Hojbjerg who's probably on the way out.
He's a pressing, box to box #8 that covers every blade and wins the ball back high up the pitch. Chips in with goals and assists.
I didn't say Ange would bring in a set piece coach? I think set pieces will improve and I think Ange is good enough to change things here but same time I will wait to see how the club actually acts this summer.
So a bid of £7.5m from Daniel then...
I read a report saying Gallagher didn’t want to come to us.I'm a little bit torn over Gallagher. I think we should be aiming higher. God knows we can afford to.

Villa is the easy way out. Doesn’t piss off the Chelsea fans and plays CL football, good manager etc
Of course, he’d have to live in Birmingham….
Totally! Not sure why people thinking spending £50M to
May be upgrade on players we already have when we need players in other areas more urgently is beyond me. Plus why would we help out chavs with 50M so that they can buy say ollise?
Gallagher is a fair bit better than PEH tbf. It's a decent upgrade, though I share the concern re his loyalties.
