Theres a strong team spirit at the moment - sometimes you don't want to overload with too many new faces. Thats why I like the idea of getting Eriksen back - he would slot straight back in.
I said this a few pages back, but Denzel Dumfries was productive (5g, 4a) in a top-4 league playing wingback in a back 3. Very comfortable on the ball, but not a defender nor a great passer. With Dekki and Romero on his side I don't think he has to be. He's also fantastic in the air. We wouldn't have to wait for the potential of Spence or Singo to manifest itself if it ever does.
Considering the system, age, price (~30m), and lack of language barrier, I haven't read about anyone else available who'd help us day 1 more. There's no Hakimi out there, but we could do worse than the guy Inter replaced him with.
Odeguard
Ramsdale
And as you say white
Those 3 were over 100m this summer
Maybe it’s caught up with them this summer
Surely the Conte factor will swing it for us?
Very little between the teams now. We've got CL, better stadium, Kane and Son, both in London.

yup, this was a big gamble for them, just try to close the gap to top 4. Well, it's failed, and there's a limit to what they can spend with lowest revenue among the big 6 clubs. As you said, there's also not much for them to sell these days.
They made a loss of 127m last season, which is 50m more than Spurs. If you extend it 10 years, they've made a net loss of 30m. If you consider how profitable they must have been in the first 5 years of the decade, it doesn't paint a good picture for their future.
Last season their revenue was 30m less than Spurs, keep in mind that we got bounced out of EL in R16 and they made it to the semi-finals, and that our fancy stadium was mostly empty.
Their wages were 30mn higher than ours last season. Which they have now trimmed by getting rid of the likes of Auameyang. Their transfer spending has been consistently one of the highest in the league since Wenger left, they're at their limit without veering into the Leeds, Everton, Leicester territory of blowing practically your entire revenue on wages and player transfers.
CL football for us could add another 100m+ if we made a decent run, and at least 40m even if we get kocked out in the R16. We have the financial muscle to outspend them if needed.
I could see him staying at Brentford
I am really interested to see what we look for at LWB. We have Reggie and Sess there at the moment and Conte seems fond of Sess. Ryan has also improved quite a bit after having a run of games.
Do we move Reggie on and bring in someone to fight with Sessegnon for the starting gig or are we looking to fully upgrade that position and bring in an automatic first XI type signing?

When he coached Inter, didn't they have the 5 sub rule?
Sess is not good enough for what Conte needs.
He’s been talking him up as he had little other options (with Reggy being injured or all over the place).
Fully expecting us to bring in two WBs.
Tuchel is no slouch either.
There is no way we are binning off and signing that many. It just doesn’t happen. Too difficult to keep harmony in squad, let alone the amount of negotiation involved in any separate deal in or out.
I would be surprised if we get more than 4 players who genuinely make an impact on the main squad. I would have said 3 but considering 5 subs next year…
LWB isn't anywhere near as bad as RWB. Sess was just beginning to look confident in that role and I think Reggie is capable of pushing him. Neither are the finished article but both bring something to the role. And both fighting for the same position will force them to improve their form.
We don't need to be spending money on a position that those two can cover.
Despite all this talk of 8 signings, we know that's not how we work. I'd be happy with 4 good players that can come straight into the team. A RWB, LCB, CM and an attacker that can play across the front line. Add in a useful free like Eriksen and we've massively improved the team/squad without going crazy.
This is why it is the most interesting position for me heading into this window. We all know we need significant improvements at RWB and LCB. We need depth in the midfield too. LWB is one where I think we can all agree it would be nice to get an improvement on the two we have but there are varying levels of confidence in both Reggie and Sessegnon.
Is he a free agent?
how much would nkunku cost
I mean Perisic has already worked with Conte so the familiarity is there.
Tuchel is obviously a great manager too.
If Real Madrid exercises the buy-back clause for Reggie, do we know when that would have to be triggered? I would guess that would have to be either at the start of the window or very early on, right?
Football.London is saying it's a £43M, not £28M. I can't see RM paying that.
Agree.
Sess has improved from what was a very low base. And fair play to him he did a job and stepped up when we need him. Definitely more defensively sound than Reg.
He's just so limited going forward.
Conte will want two wing backs that the opposition are scared of that can whip in dangerous balls for fun, have good technical quality and can beat their man and progress the ball.
