I personally think Spence will be our last signing. Are people happy with this? I don’t think we are going to go all out for this other CB now Lenglet is here and I certainly don’t think we are spending big on a CAM either. I personally think we need another top centre back and that’s it, but I highly doubt we will do anymore business after Spence apart from outgoings. The positives are all our business is nearly done and finally we go into a season prepared. I think Spurs fans are being way over optimistic if you think we are signing anyone else after Spence.
You don't know though, nor does anybody else here. My guess is we'll get more if Conte feels he wants it, and we won't get any more if Conte is happy with what he has.

I'd be happy-ish with what we have, but wouldn't object to a project cb like Zibarnyi/Collins (no longer an option) and a creative passer who can play RW or midfield (especially if Gil is heading out). Think our attacking transfer activity might depend on whether Conte feels he can count on Parrott/Gil to be in the squad.

I don’t know, but i do know spurs and Levy mate. I get that feeling when our business is done.
 
I think the no-brainer moves are:
- Additional CB (especially critical if Rodon leaves). Needs to be at least better than Sanchez and Tanganga (Pau Torres)
- AM/FW - Very happy with our front 4 but we could really do with a Lucas upgrade to relegate him to 6th choice and give us a shit hot first 5.
6 attackers for those 3 positions would be ideal. (Anyone's guess who this could be)

Get those two and that's a complete squad IMO.
Agree that we need another CB and AM to turn a very good window into an exceptional one.

I think AM would make sense more than a WF or ST, because Rich covers those positions already.

For CB, I am not sure about Pau Torres as he’s already quite similar to Lenglet in terms of attributes, but better.
Perhaps a slightly pacier option such as N’dicka?
 
Remember when people used to fawn over Leicester's transfers every Summer:


Theyre pretty fucked. They pay over 100% in wages to turnover, their owners over inflate their shirt sponsor themselves, they bankroll the club too but not enough for them not to have to sell a big player every summer. The reason they’ve bought nobody is because they’ve made no sales. It’s why I’m surprised we haven’t tried for Barnes or Maddison.

I think we could make another signing depending heavily on who we're able to sell on before the end of the window.

We need another CB but not urgently so we can wait and I'll wager we will pick up one for relative buttons and in the meantime we can get proper money for the players we need to sell.
I dream about Eriksen coming back but I can't put a name to an alternative AM.

I don’t. There’s loads left in the kitty if you factor is sales too. We have to spend that £150m this year. I suppose it could be used on new contracts for the manager and player too of course. I suspect the money made from sales will be held back to be used in January. Nobody knows what the World Cup will do to the squad in terms of injuries.

What is that based on?

There is 6 weeks left and we have loads of cash and we are not desperate so can pick our moves.

I trust Paratici to deliver a couple of surprises.

Agree and I suspect we will sign another attacking option as I would be very surprised if he thinks those two are ready for a PL/CL charge.

There was real interest in Raphinha by all accounts. So the money is there, and the desire for another attacking/creative player too. It will depend on what's available and at what price. Paqueta, Depay, Tielemans... but I can also see us trying again, very late in the window, for Gvardiol or Bastoni.
