We need to find the right Lcb/lb on loan with an option to buy. The fact is we have Vuskovic coming in next season and we don’t want to block his playing time unless the backup is exceptional. We also need to find a backup keeper this summer or next.

I'm just pleased he's having a nice little career resurgence. Probably the best player I've seen at youth level. Not many of those make it.
Yep. It’s an mistake if we don’t bring in another player who is a left back but capable of filling in at centre back. Ange doesn’t think so though, the other day he even said Gray can play there so we are fine. Therefore I doubt we will bring one in. I hope we get a left back though. Udogie picking up an injury isn’t ideal at all and pretty much fucks up the whole system.
VDV is a better LB than Udogie and Drag brings much needed aggression.
I actually think it tweaks the system for the better
No he isn’t, and no it doesn’t.
Luka Vušković will be 18 when next season (25-26) starts, so I doubt he'll be ready. He will need another loan before he's ready for Spurs.
Dorrington, on the other hand, I hope will be ready to be understudy CB next season.
Staggering that posters aren't talking the need for midfield additions as opposed to other areas, keeper aside maybe.
It's a weak area compared to the best teams.
Shocker.

From his comments sounds like we're done. Think its mad if we dont bring in another top notch left footed defender at the minimum.
We have Davies as a utility player at LCB/LB and Spence has played at LB in both games so far. We have Dragusin too which gives us the option of playing VDV at LB if needed and we have Gray who can play at CB too.
For a Europa League team that’s more than enough.
What is it you think we need?
Davies cant play the Udogie role to any decent level, Spence wouldnt be in his natural position. Dragusin and Davies playing as a LCB dont have the pace to allow us to play a high line. Agree for Europa early rounds its adequate, any injuries for league games it isnt
I’m more comfortable with Davies as cover for VdV than Udogie tbh
Yeah, in an ideal world we'd have someone that could cover both Udogie and VDV that has a bit of pace and good on the ball but if its either or then it needs to be a left back. Its the one area we dont have any natural cover for or anyone coming through from the crop of youngsters either.
Lyon's financials are apparently in ruin. More or less every player is for sale as per Luke Entwistle.
Could be some bargains to be made.

Woah there. There needs to be some rules too, like nobody whose surname starts with an
N or N'
We're in luck. No player with N' in their squad per wikipedia.
Nicolas Tagliafico wouldn't be half bad left back cover now that I am actually having a look.
They're a bit shit now though, 6th in Ligue 1 last season, the only player they have of passing interest is probably Cherki but I've heard his development stalled and he's not as shit hot as he looked when he came through the youth team.
Hillarous take.
Not sure I’d take much notice of what any manager says going into the last week of the window. They’ll all want to exploit it and what better way to do that than give off the appearance that you’re fine. It’s Spurs and Levy, he’s always after a last minute deal.
