Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

two new fullbacks are probably priority right now. if we are going to play this system next year then its vital you have sufficient wing backs. weve got 1 competent WB out of 4 and hes fucking injured at the business end!
 
After watching today, we HAVE to have somebody in the midfield that can bring the ball forward and pick people out. We played out of the back so lackadaisically (sp?) so that we always ended up just hoofing it long. Get a point guard. Who is the footballing equivalent of Steph Curry?

Lucky for you, Ndomballer will be back very soon and he'll be like a new signing.

:contefacepalm:
 
so about 100 mill for deki and romero aside, i cant see levy pending 150 mill on top

proably why we are targeting frees
Romero 45m and Kulusevski 35m right?

Well you would hope Lo Celso, Rodon, Emerson, and Gil (unfortunately) pays for that.

Then by a miracle we get rid of Ndombele and there's also the hope that CCV rejects the 6m celtic transfer as his stock has gone up so much we could probably now get 10m plus easy.
 
What is becoming clear is what we need in the summer.

The only questions are the platform on which to build and the quality 9f the brickwork.

If Conte and Levy can work at the tip of the pyramid and if we are able to get the right bits, we can be competitive if not likely.
 
In order of priorities:

RWB, LWB, LCB, CM.

Anything beyond that is a bonus. But we need at least 4 new players because our options in those areas are not good enough to compete for silverware.
 
Not binary. You sign Hakimi and CM is the priority as you can carry Sess/Reg at LWB

True, but those are the areas I think we're weakest in currently. Wing back in general is a terrible situation for us, especially with Doherty out. A genuine Conte wingback will be getting a good handful of goals & assists a season, and nobody is doing that.

Signing Hakimi is a dream but we'll most likely have to settle for less. But we need to get it very right and the clubs struggled with fullbacks for years.
 
I guarantee Conte would have loved to switch to a 3-5-2 at halftime today. Unfortunately to do that the third midfielder needs to be a playmaker, which we don't have. I can't wait for the summer
There are so many games when I think we would do much better with a midfield 3, I am sure teams are starting to target that realising we are a bit weak with the two there. Given what we have it would be good to see Skipp alongside Benta and PEH, perhaps they could make that work between themselves, taking turns to push on and hold.

Of course for it to be a success we need to get more out of doing that than we do from having Kula, Son and Kane up front (as one of them would have to be hooked). I'm not sure at the moment that we would be gaining more than we lose but its probably close, definitely an area for an upgrade in the summer IMO and make it a really viable option.

Two stellar footballers in any of those four positions and we’ll be a different side. Kulu and Benta have improved us massively
