I'd love someone like Bissouma to come in.Doesn't seem like that's enough to get us reliably challenging for trophies.
We need top quality CMs, not just free/cheap ones.
But I don't think it's the end of the world if we get say Eriksen and another unspectacular but solid Bentancur type IF we also get a really top drawer wing back and a CB upgrade to replace Davies/provide cover across the back 3. Bless him but big Dav is just too shit on the ball.
Add to that swapping Bergjwin for another genuine attacking rotation option (Leao, David, Martinez) and I think we are in a good place.
We would have solid cover in all the areas we lack now, e.g.:
Lloris
Romero - Dier - P. Torres
RWB - Skipp - Bentancur - Sess
Martinez - Kane - Son
Subs:Romero - Dier - P. Torres
RWB - Skipp - Bentancur - Sess
Martinez - Kane - Son
Johnstone
Davies
Emerson
Reguilon
Eriksen
Hojbjerg
Kulusevski
Lucas
Some of our middling starters now would be there for great squad depth and we wouldn't need a bench full of kids.It gives flexibility to play in a midfield 3 with plenty of variety in attack.
As for trophies I'm not sure we can go from Nunoball to title challengers in the space of a year. We have to prioritise and improve in each window.
I don't think we'll win the league next year but I fancy us for top 3. A lot will also depend on how Conte juggles the league and cups as to whether we can go deep in any competition.
