Think this is a smart loan tbh! If Frank can instil some confidence in the lad he is a better player than both Solanke and Richarlson IMO. If it doesn’t work then the loan simply allows either of our current guys to get some rest later in games

Oui.I do quite like the idea of Tel, Odobert & Munai forming an understanding at both club AND International level...
The fact all 3 have played for France at different levels hopefully stands them all in good stead if ever required to play together for us....
Didn't do the Arse team any harm in the late '90s to have a little enclave of French talent at their disposal...
NOT that I'm comparing our 3 to Henry, Pires, and and the funny looking one with the big teeth Samir Nasri?, (Jesus, AND they had Petit and Vieira! Fucking hell, that wasn't an enclave, that was half the France team!!) ...but you get the gist!

That might be confusing with this legend
Honest question.
If we were to get a progressive, high pressing manager, would it be ok if we sold Kane (and Son) and got a duo of Kolo Muani and Thuram (for example)? They wouldn't replace his goals or creativity, but they would be pressing machines, and we could have a system close to that of 2017 when the forwards kept interchanging places with each-other to confuse the opposition.
Then as a striker the dream for me would be Kolo Muani, however it might be hard to take him since Liverpool also seem to like him. Kolo Muani can play all 3 positions (which will come in handy in the other point) and is extremely technical. Jo David (who I've listed in the line-up) is also an extremely good player
Thuram has just moved to Inter. Jo David would an alternative. Or my personal pick, Kolo Muani, however he does seem a bit unrealistic.
If he starts scoring
Its his flexibility across the front three that is the big plus . Much more dynamic than what we've got , bar Kudus of courseI think he’s a better finisher than Solanke and a better player through the middle than Richy.
But he can also play on either flank, probably slightly better on the right than left.
He gives us endless options and combinations. Great signing!
The difference between RKM and Solanke or Richy is that he can make goals for himself in and around the box. The other two are totally reliant on service.This isn't a snarky question, I'm actually curious.
Do you think he's better as a CF than Dom or Solanke?
My God I hope you're right about this!Safe to say, I finally got my man. So happy for him to be here, and I’m pretty certain Frank will help him regain his confidence. He’s like a better Wissa.
Maybe you need to speak toHe came to Spurs just because of the Champions League qualification. Which is ok. The problem is that he is not good enough for that. He is not good enough to go to a club just because they need reinforcements for the Champions League. It would be nice to get a striker that's been bounced around big clubs and couldn't settle anywhere but that actually has great value. But I don't think he is that. Watching him play he just doesn't appear that impressive.
It all comes down to what he does on the pitch for us. The question shouldn't be "Is he a better CF?" it should be "Is he a more suitable player for us in the wider context of the team as a whole?".This isn't a snarky question, I'm actually curious.
Do you think he's better as a CF than Dom [Richarlison?] or Solanke?
