He’s injured for 90% of the time. We already have too many players made of glass, I doubt he can handle the intensity of the PL. That‘s before we even consider his questionable attitude.

Lol when he isn't injured. Think he can stand up to such a physical league?
I'm liking the looks of Kyogo up at Celtic as a second striker. Young enough to be ok on the bench, old enough that he knows the game.
Agree but attacking CM should be top of the list.
Vlahovic would be a massive coup but would suffer from the same lack of service all our attackers do
Forget livramento. We have to go through chavs to get him and we all know how that will turn out.
Thing is Conte doesn’t normally use an attacking AM. He plays a deep lying play maker whose job is to thread the ball into the forwards and wing backs , the other two CM’s then operate more like Skipp driving forward, winning tackles and tracking runners.
For his system Brozovic would be the deep lying playmaker and perhaps someone like Kessie to play with Skipp.
Brozovic
Skipp Kessie
Both Brozovic and Kessie’s contract end this season and they can sign pre contracts in Jan.
Attitude problems.
Injury problems.
Big wages.
Will clearly want mega-signing on fee otherwise why not renew at Barca?
........Terrible idea.
"one of the best in the World"
......Serious exaggeration.
Being saying this about Leicester for years. Glad someone else noticed it. I even said on here their ebitda was one of the worst I had ever seen in any industry. It is simply not a viable business.
Fair assessment.
It’s that playmaker role though that we need the most though.
We need a top class CM that can both create and offer enough work-rate to allow us to play in a CM2 when desired or as a CM3 depending on what Conte wants to play at the time.
Big ask, but it's the essential peice of the puzzle; regardless of whatever other trimmings people fancy.
Amazing... Can't stay fit though
Agreed
Leicester's revenue is reduced due to Covid but those ratios of wages/revenue should be a bit of an eye opener for some. Obviously unsustainable (more than 100% of revenues paid out as wages) - I think they bet the farm on getting successive CL campaigns in taking on new players on high wages.
Yeah, in the Serie A. EPL is a while different game. Less time on the ball, or at least it used to be like that. Don't watch much Italian football these days, barely get to watch any live EPL let alone TottenhamThis lad is an assist-machine of the highest order!
There is a lot of interest in him from top clubs so I'm assuming Leicester are hoping for a bidding war to offset his length of contract.
Ability wise, absolutely. Injury record would be a huge worry. He's had the odd disciplinary issue, but nothing major I don't think.
If Dembele is truly available for a reasonably affordable fee, I would still go for him.
The guy is a genuinely generational talent. If it weren't for injuries, I really do think he could have been the better player between him and Mbappe.
I understand the scepticism, but the prospect of a front three of Dembele, Kane and Son in a fully functional, well oiled Conte team is absolutely terrifying.

Lars Hirschfield was Canadian?also Cash and wages risk
AND he could join our illustrious list of Canadian Players
Spurs Canadians
- Paul Stalteri
Perhaps they have other revenue streams or built up a huge war chest over the years with their monopoly, but King Power‘s duty-free business would have taken a massive Covid hit. Will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
