I don’t think we need any new players personally
Who could we get to improve our starting 11
Corner shops & pints of milk
Difficult window to do business
Prefer if we keep our powder dry for the summer
Let the big clubs do their business before we swoop on the leftovers
Covid
Clean slate under a new manager

An I think he will be sold in January
Spurs are being linked to de Ketelaere. A few Spurs fans had a hard time even getting Eriksen's name right ... 
So, in order to save us from further such embarrassments, I prefer Spurs to target players with "easier" names - like Smith, Jones, Taylor, Brown, White, etc.

I would rather him than Vlahovic.
Why?
Vlahovic has a better goalscoring record and in a much tougher league

Transfer News: Tottenham battle Real Madrid, Barcelona for Darwin Nunez
Barcelona and Real Madrid are reportedly facing stiff competition from Tottenham Hotspur in pursuit of 22-year-old Benfica striker Darwin Nunez.

Based on Levy / ENIC's history, if he ends up at Tottenham, he was likely not really wanted by RM or Barcelona and he'll be a bust for us.Also from the same site:

The players & agents usually want ridiculous money knowing that the club didn't have to pay a transfer fee.
Plus that 20 year old with 1.5 seasons in the Belgian league is going to be nowhere close to ready to start at the PL level.
He may be a quality add but he is nowhere close to comparable as an alternative to Vlahovic.
It's more about the player and the fact that de Ketelaere I think has a higher ceiling.
Vlahovic is too one footed for me, whereas de Ketelaere has shown good instincts to shoot off both feet. He's secondly a workhorse. You watch Watkins run the channels and de Ketelaere can do the same but has more quality in the finish. Vlahovic doesn't run the channels. But I wouldn't be upset with getting Vlahovic because he can offer a plan as a target man. Something we have missed since Llorente.
De Ketelaere also works his socks off and I can see Conte liking him because of this. de Ketelaere can also play as the central striker or in the right of a 3. He normally plays on the right for Belgium with Lukaku in the middle. Vlahovic doesn't play any other position apart from CF.
Also I'm not basing de Ketelaere performances just off Belgian league, but more off champions league against teams like PSG, man City, Leipzig.
Tbh if you offered both to me and then flog Kane in the summer I would take that deal.

Interesting points re his strengths- I admit I have not watched him play much.
But just going by his goalscoring record and the fact he hasn't started at all for Belgium, I think he's a prospect for the future rather than a solution in 2022.
I realise this, but getting so-called elite players with no fee at peak age or younger would still be understandably considered a coup.
We need a back-up with room to grow, so come the end of the summer if we ended up with Vlahovic + Nunez or De Ketelaere that'd be pretty good going.
Like the idea, but not sure we can afford 2 non-HG strikers in our squad.
I'm not sure Madrid could get both those players with the La Liga wage cap. Perhaps if Real get Mbappe, PSG will move for Pogba?
Unless we have a HG ST on our radar then we'll have to look at other areas to balance those concerns.....
e.g.
GK2
CB
AM/Wings
Wouldn't have a clue how the current RM wage-bill breaks down.....
Watch this space I guess. Both been heavily linked for years now. Perhaps they can get around it with big signing on bonuses instead....?
