As I have posted before IMO the ยฃ150m helps us more with sales than buys.It's June and we're closing in on our 4th signing of the season and still haven't sold a single player.
During Pochettino's time, I remember Spurs also had problems breaking through defensive teams even with Eriksen on the team. Even Barca and Man City at their best have problems breaking through tight defenses, so there are no guarantees.Every team should have some mid-fielder that is creative. No matter what the system is. We had no way of breaking through defenses when playing defensive teams. We lost and drew numerous games despite having most of the possession. Zaniolo and Kessie were linked with us. They'd be ideal. Eriksen as well. I'd take him too. Contรฉ looks for versatile players, I agree so he'd welcome a versatile AM.
Not our first choice, but I think he will be fine in a back 3 with partners like Romero and Dier.
