Don't know exactly, Baz.
I don't get this issue with the full backs. We have 3 left backs including 2 full internationals and an England under 21 international (ok Rose might leave but I hope not). Two of those play good attacking wing back roles and Davies is a good solid left back. At right back we also have 3 - a young full Argentine international who clearly has convinced Poch that he is good enough, the Ivory Coast captain and a good young England under 20 international. Two of these also play in the attacking wing back role and (hopefully) Foyth will be a solid right back.
Personally I like Aurier - if he stays I hope he gets a run in the team to prove that his early potential can be proved. If not then I seem to recall the oft repeated mantra 'give the youngsters a chance'.
The strength we now have is in depth of squad and quality in that depth. If we keep Eriksen so much the better. The only one position where we struggle with depth is a true Centre Forward - but Kane isn't a true centre forward and whoever we had bought in would have required a shift in tactics to replace him in games. So why not stick with the mix of Son, Moura, Alli that we used successfully last season .
A good transfer window that has increased our squad depth and quality in my view.
No not forgotten, but are you not a little disappointed with the signings ? Tanguy does look a good player, Ryan is very raw and lo celso I have no idea about tbh... we have no strikers apart from kane and no right backs that are even decent imo
No..but a right back to replace the one that left is just common sense surely ?PLEAAAAASE we have had a brilliant window we have enough attacking players to do the job bought two exceptional midfielders bought two young ones for the future what more do you want everything done in one window thats just unrealistic.

Getting rougher year on year , they'll all be Munsters in a decade.
I thought he lived in the Caribbean?
Really...60 on tanguy and 10 on Clarke.. 25 on sess and 15 loan fee for lo celso....i make that 110....
We earnt nearly 100 million from the champions league, so we didn't really spend anywhere near what we could have
Surely I’m not the only one thinking the lion knows his stuff and we got something lined up for 7pm? ochfacepalm:
ochfacepalm:
Unless I missed something Liverpool didn't bother strengthening? So we should at least cut the gap down on them this season.
Not sure he lives there but is from there
Really. We don't need a right back or striker... you can really be happy with either aurier or kwp..
Decent looking squad, totalling 28 players in PL, 27 in CL.
I've added Parrott and Tanganga as if they stay at Spurs (versus a loan) I think they will get the same number of appearances as Skipp did last season (circa 12 appearances with about 400 odd minutes), with a view to developing them for a more full part at Spurs in 20/21..
Lloris, Gazzaniga, Whiteman
Aurier, Walker-Peters,
Alderweireld, Vertonghen, Sanchez, Foyth, Tanganga
Rose, Davies, Sessegnon
N'Dombele, Winks, Sissoko, Dier, Wanyama, Skipp
Eriksen, Dele, Lo Celso
Son, Moura, Lamela, (N'Koudou in PL only)
Kane, Parrott.
Under CL definitions :
17 Overseas trained players (including Parrott as he has not been at Spurs for 2 years to become u21, he will for 20/21))
5 HG (Walker-Peters, Rose, Winks, Dele, Kane)
5 u21's (Whiteman, Foyth, Tanganga, Sessegnon, Skipp, )
It seems very possible tome that Spurs will actively try to move N'Koudou and Wanyama on to clubs abroad this month, but that wont really affect the squad depth.
A few other youngsters who could also get a few appearances this season, whether Eyoma (did well on pre season 2018, made first team appearances in 18/19 but injured for preseason 2019) or Harvey White (did well in preseason 2019 mainly as LB although best position is DM).
