This is the latest name being bandied about.

“Tottenham are ready to back Ange Postecoglu with signings in three priority positions this summer, centre back, midfielder and striker. “

The Times.

With Maddison offering very little and wingers being hopeless, I would think that they are the areas that would be addressed also

Can’t see more than three major signings, which Is what the board seems to be indicating.

Plus everyone we need to unload.

Of course, but it would pretty bizarre if a striker isn’t our top priority!

Sounds about right. We shouldn't really need any more than that either after what we did last summer. Midfielder and striker need to be at least first team quality. A new CB I can understand for added strength, although we've got Romero, VDV and Dragusin so they'd have to be pretty good to get a string of games. Perhaps one with pace more to Ange's liking who can play full back position?

Toney as striker , Evan Ferguson , Tarkowski

Wonder how much Ferguson would cost. Weren't Brighton looking at over £100m not so long ago? Then the hype died down a bit as his form died down.

No way is 100 mill worth good player top value £40 mill

Given the amounts Brighton have seen for other players I doubt he'd be available for £40m when he's meant to be this wonder kid. It's going to be somewhere near £100m surely.

Why is CB a key priority. Dragusin has barely kicked a ball.

I would go with:

Toney £60m
Olise £60m
Tosin (free)
Ederson (Atalanta) £35m Or Onana (Everton) £50m
I would also target a LB to cover Udogie, but have no idea who.

Sell:
Hojbjerg £15m
GLC £15m
Sessegnon - expired contract
Gil £10m
Reguillon £10m
Spence £8m
Tanganga £4m
Rodon £15m
Parrot £2m

Emerson & Davies need replacing but I would probably hang on for another half or whole season because its unlikely we can do all we need to do in one summer window and they are ok squad options when played in their positions.

Are we thinking that ange doesn't like what he's seeing regarding dragusin !?!?

Thought he wanted him?!

I really don’t know why everyone feels Toney would be a good fit. He is of very questionable character. He can’t barely even get into the Brentford team these days due to his character. I feel we should stay way clear.

Olise would be a great signing. Wouldn’t be against Muniz of Fulham. Also Onana would improve our MF options.

It goes to my point as to why new CB is any sort of priority. VDV and Romero have done likttle wrong to be dropped, but they will need to be rested and rotated next season.

I think the new CB requirement may be because if VDV is lacking we lack real pace, so if you assume Dragusin is a Romero cover then may be a pacey LCB is also needed to cover VDV.

I think we will see more of Radu next season when we will hopefully have another 15 games or so !

New striker?


Kane

Palmers




Had crossed my mind too!

its odd watching Kane now, with objectivity.

Yes, BM play a certain way and their build up is really quite patient a lot of the time, but Kane's movement is really very limited. Small movements, no real runs down the channel or looking to get in behind. Yes he'll bang in any chance you give him but he's not making the runs that Son or Richarlison do, he doesnt seem to be having the wider influence on a game, beyond providing the finishing touch.

I think he would struggle to fit back into this league . It's not like he's passed it, just that the combination of his age and playing in Germany for a year, he's lost a bit of an edge IMO. It will be fine for England because the pace of international football is more like that, but the PL, under a high intensity manager like Ange, Im not sure,

Has anyone seen how many goals we concede. That’s either because we can’t defend or lack balance - I think it’s the latter.

I’ve said it a few times but I think we should be all over Eze as an alternative to Maddison and Kulu. I like Olise as well but his fitness is appalling. A back up for Maddison is vital as is getting Bentancur fully fit again and forming a partnership with Sarr.

I think it will be Calafiori at CB - Paratici special

I do t think there is a lot of value in the striker range - Gimenez, Toney and Vlahovic are possible but they are not top drawer. I would rather add someone like Morgan Gibbs White, Neto, Olmo

We’ve got Vuskovic and Bergvall coming in the summer - it might be we think they can step up.

Outs will be interesting, we have a huge amount to shift, top of my head;

Skipp
PEH
Gil
Royal
Rodon
Sess
Reguilon
Belly
GLC?
Spence

Have we ever sold 10 in a dummer before?

Tuchel said Kane had a back injury so that may have restricted him yday and why he brought him off.

As Belfast said, no to Toney. He's an idiot.

Jonathan David from Lille, Zirkzee or Sesko.

Would like one of Parrott, Scarlett or Lankshear as back up.

For midfield, Ederson as Devon said, and Jordan James of Birmingham. Very good young talent with 95 games under his belt.

Olise yes but read today Villa are interested along with Man Utd. Apparently he is a utd fan. No to Eze and Neto as I doubt they can handle three games a week. Olise is younger than both them and a better talent.

I agree and yet people are talking about Toney - not a good fit with the system at all, we don’t need a target man. MGW would be far better in our system

Defo need back up full backs. Mitchell of Palace has one year left. Calafiori looks really good but there will be lots of competition for him.

We also need a better back up keeper.

Need a better defensive option at RB as well I feel. Royal is not good enough and Porro is a winger really. Porro is great against sides in the bottom 10 playing a low block against us, but I think we need a proper defensive option against the sides who will have as much possession as us, or more

I’d take Morgan Gibbs white. He is a talent. Not sure if he could play the 9 though. Would be better than Maddison though.
