It looks as if Thiago Motta share your love for Joshua Zirkzee...

He’s class.
Motta wanting him is the reason I’ve let it go and decided to tell myself he doesn’t score enough
Played 9 games last year, gets called a star. Fuck you Pete O.

Your post is a lot more interesting that it appears at first glance.
You're obviously right, that the numerical evidence suggests its our defence that is weak.
But the 'we need better forwards' are also right, since we failed to convert so much possession in the final third (which we over-rely on, since we're playing 'fuck it, let's outscore them' football).
And it's hard to argue that our coaching, strategy and tactics aren't in need of optimisation, since we lost games we should have one and didn't seem to learn from many mistakes in our own third (e.g. corners).
So, everybody's right. We need better everything.
Joking aside, the truth must be somewhere in between, so let's take it literally!
Get two world-class CMs in.
Zirkzee ain't a prolific goalscorer. And he's slow. But yeah, big and got nice feet. Off to Juve (to reunite with Motta) or Milan anyway.
Pepelu is a good player, covers a lot of ground, at ease with the ball like your typical Spanish midfielder, but not sure he's better than what we've already got...think we oughta aim higher. Kid scored 7 last season...but all pens.
Way, way, way, way, way too slow. Romero is our slowest defender and he's pretty damn quick. Hummels would spend the entire season with broken hammys.
No, thanks.
Guy is as big a cunt as they come.
Perfect signing for our twatty neighbours or the Bridge criminals. But he's sure as shit not Spurs.
Zirkzee has had a cracking season, not so great previously. Should be having a good look
So ..now we've seen almost every team at the euros, I have 2 questions:
1.Who should we go all out for regardless of cost?
2. Who would be the bargain buy? The unknown that would be cheap but amazing.
Ps let's not be obvious and also this isn't a levy bashing post but a genuine who should we get.
Pps obvs people like mbappe but let's rule them out.
Who's caught your eye?

To be honest I would of took Barkley on a 2 year deal to replace PEH or lo Celso until our younger players come of age if it means saving the budget for attacking personnel
While my post was meant to dig out the over-focussing on attack in this thread, I do agree we need to improve our conversion rate.Your post is a lot more interesting that it appears at first glance.

I also think the goals conceded doesn't reflect fairly on the defense. The nature of Ange's tactics is we're going to concede goals at a higher rate than more traditional tactics.
To challenge for the title we need to score 10-15+ more goals and concede 10-15 fewer.
That Dragusin guy looks good
I'd rather bring in Charles Barkley
If we're genuinely after a new CB, I know he's ex-Chelsea (though feels less of a Chav than CG) and that he had his injury troubles last season, but I've always liked Fikayo Tomori. Perhaps a deal to be done with AC Milan, seen as they're keen on Emerson. Get him in and we could go with he & Cuti at CB plus Porro & Micky at WB. Honestly reckon he'd come to us despite his Chels background, would help his chances to get back into the ENG fold.
In the middle I'd love to see us go after Rabiot. That'd be what you call a proper statement signing. The lad is such a great player, he'd improve our midfield ten-fold. He's a free agent soon, I believe. But even if he re-signed with Juve so they get a fee, they were keen on Hojbjerg a while back so perhaps wouldn't cost the earth. He's a 70 mil CM in my books, guy wouldn't look out of place at Real Madrid.
Also could do with a new backup goalie (Henderson from Palace or that Sunderland kid), new RB, new winger (that Werner signing really fucking us) and a proper striker who knows where the goal is (please Daniel not Morata).
Did he have a bet on for how many times he could say "Cuti Romero" in one tweet?
Levy would never pay the kind of money we'd need to lure him here. He'll end up at one of those financially-doped clubs, sitting on their bench, wishing he'd come to us instead.
That's got 'written for high-ranking' all over it. Especially the 'cuti to madrid' start.
Wanker. Cover the fucking euros you skanky tart!
Lol while it's funny. Barkley would be the 6 in my England team alongside Rice and Bellingham.
He was very good as a 6 last season and on a contract of 25grand a week not sure what villa offered him
11 G/As as a 6 last season 9 in prem, I'll take that all day long.
I'm one of them who prefer a creative 6 rather than a destroyer.
Is Barkley not a better player than PEH and lo celso?
And possibly had a better season than Bentancur and Bissouma
