CM easy. We have the 4th most scored and 4th fewest conceded in the league, but over the course of 90 mins we struggle to control the game.
We need a CM who is more than a warm body to keep things ticking over.

Interesting little look in to how signings from other leagues perform elsewhere. Obviously sample sizes are very limited and it won’t tell the whole story at all, but Bundesliga looks particularly eyebrow raising.
Shame they missed out England to England and Germany to Germany etc. That is the baseline. How often do moves work out at all? The change of league is not the only factor in determining someone’s success after a transfer. Probably not even the biggest one.
Stats and damn lies ?
Sure, that would be interesting too. But what it does is that signing from certain leagues may potentially mean more risk. Bundesliga games are often very high tempo and open, so attacking players put up really strong numbers but can struggle to replicate that elsewhere.
But I agree league change isn’t the only factor, Sancho at United for example has dropped off massively, but the fact is the way United play doesn’t really suit his strengths at all. Had he gone back to City I’d fully expect him to be doing well.
I'm sure Parasite will find us a cheap cast off from Juve....
We should have signed him 1st time around.
My word; it takes a s-e-r-i-o-u-s-l-y dumb ass to carry on trotting out bollocks like this......
I agree in that I think the obsession people on this forum have for Bissouma is crazy. I think Bentacur and Skipp will be the partnership next season.
But fuck Alonso. Never mention that name involving us.
If anything I think it will be Skipp and new CM. With Benta/PEH generally being subs and rotating with Skipp.
The obsession is very understandable his skill set and the length of his remaining contract make a deal very realistic, ditto Philips if Leeds go down.
The general uptick in players moving to both France and Germany would suggest they are the more forgiving leagues.
Now that we have Conte and paratici here I would not be surprised if we have 1/2 quite quickly especially out of contract signings.

You're on the TFC summer transfer window thread, a few weeks before the window opens
The transfer window is near. This is where the itkers like trix give the exclusives. Basically take it with a pinch of salt.
I agree that there’s a lot of reasons that transfer don’t work out, especially between leagues. However I do think Bundesliga is a open league with worse defending and less cutthroat competition. Lots of young players develop there for a reason and I would have some hesitance in the immediate expectations of guys who comes from there. That said, many work out swimmingly.
I think it was last summer where a few of the natives over on SC called out Trix and Hercules on their shite. Both had a shitfit and vowed to never post again.
Lo and behold, a couple of weeks later (and a few bannings from A&C), they were back posting bollocks and getting loads of cock sucking from the faithful.
Spurs could do with a new LWB
