Nunez would be my pick of the two, but he's a poor finisher. Richie isn't that bad in the box, really. He's just shit at hold up/close control. I honestly don't know if Solanke is a bad finisher or not, as I've rarely seen anyone complete a cross to him (this is only slightly sarcasm). Jackson has been utter shite every time I've seen him. I don't want the frustration of another wasted forward. Soldado, Janssen, RKM, Tel, etc.
God remember Soldado amd Jansen, fantastic scoring in their respective leagues and disasters is for us.

I feel there are a couple of exceptions but most of the squad should scale up under a better coach.
After watching Frank and then Tudor, this shouldn't really need saying as it's obvious.
Organise and coach them both as a team and as individuals and the majority of them will look a world apart from what we've been served up.

It's why I'm hesitant to get on the backs of most of them because I swear, Frank would've made Messi look shite.

Which names are unrealistic?

Maybe Osimhen?

Or you mean the volume is unrealistic?
That kind of squad churn is unrealistic over just one window, not to mention the fact that integrating that many players would likely be counterproductive.

The list is a pretty good one, it's just unrealistic to expect it to happen in one window and expect it to work.

It's the kind of churn I'd expect over a couple of seasons.

| INFO : MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Tottenham Hotspur are still following Morgan Gibbs-White as a concrete target for the summer, CONFIRMED! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🚨⚪️#THFC

The club are impressed by MGW's performances during the second half of the season, and want to try again for his signature, after his failed move last summer. 💣💥

Nottingham Forest are open to selling Morgan Gibbs-White this summer, but want a package worth around £70m for a potential sale. Nothing less at the moment. 🚨💰

Morgan Gibbs-White would love to join Tottenham Hotspur, just like last summer. Personal terms are NOT an issue, agreement with Nottingham Forest will be the MAIN step! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🏻⚪

No talks or negotiations ongoing right now between any parties. Just concrete interest as of now. Spurs working on Savinho and potential Nico deal, after completing Senesi and Robertson. 🚨👀



Nothing burger, really, although after last year it is interesting MGW is coming up again

I find this source quite useful for identifying targets we are not going to get.
 
for me it’s a very hard window to navigate . Still don’t know the extent of Kudus injury , will kulu ever play again , Madison cannot be relied on with his fitness record , Xavi not back till late February , odobert Back December. Richi has to be sold , obviously kolo Muani has left , we’ve now only got a fit Tel and Solanke when he can be bothered . We can’t do what we did last season and just rely on players coming back , we’ve need full surgery in the attacking part of the squad yet we could have 2 or 3 returning in the 2nd half of the season.
That's when they either fight for their place, and up their levels as a result, or they get moved on for better replacements.

We can't afford to base our business on maybes.
 
I am fed up with watching opposition players smash the ball in from outside the box whilst our attempts from that distance end up in row Z. Erikson is the last one that consistently did it and whilst Son & Kane could, it is midfielders that get that opportunity mor . Same with a direct free kick outside the box, when did we last score one. Do not suppose Lange takes that into consideration when he is looking at new players.
 
Kudus had surgery a few weeks ago so the club should know his recovery window (even if they won’t share with us fans). The way I see it we cannot count on Kulu, Simons, Odobert for the start of the season. Plus Richy needs to be sold and Tel is not good enough right now to be considered a starter. So we need a new CF, at least 2 new WFs and a new #10 as a minimum. That’s on top of a new GK and a new CM.
I though Kudus put his surgery off so he could play in the WC?
 
I kinda agree with your points in this post, however, if now isn't the time to splash the (plentiful) cash we have, when is?

We need to get good players in and rebuild and after the relegation threat of this season (and, to a degree, last season); therefore, surely we shouldn't be messing about with targets we want.

However, I will concede that a lot of our scouting leaves a lot to be desired.
Yeah, we absolutely have to splash the cash but we've also got a lot of work to do, so every pound must count.
I like the idea of Savinho but it gets less appealing if we are just going to go in at top whack straight away, that just leaves us less to spend elsewhere.
