I agree that we need another cm, I just don’t think we’ll spend a giant chunk of our budget on a blue-chip one.

Eventually you need the 4th option that’s on par with the 3 we have - Longstaff and Willock offer us nothing and hopefully are sold to allow such purchases

The point was that Spurs would be unreasonable to deal with, as they always are as sellers, particularly if Newcastle showed interest, as they wouldn't be in a hurry to do us any kind of favour. Genius.

This guy is a bot - hes not a real account

I've paid a lot of attention to Spence - he's had a great breakout season. But he then had a downturn in form again and dropped out the starting 11. To suggest Spurs would ask 60 million for a third choice fullback is insane and suggests that you don't know what you're talking about

How can you say this? You think it’s impossible that we sell both Willock and Longstaff? IF we don’t get another CM it’s gonna be a tough season, a very long and tough one… Woukd be naive not doing it. Id be ok with a slightly cheaper one too like Fernandes from Southampton. Either way it’s a MUST imo. We will struggle with 3 + Miley. Longstaff and Willock is pointless to even think about imo. Can see Joelinton struggling with fitness too. Imo there’s a reason Howe changed formation. Not only because of the teams we played.

What is the thing on the right called?

There’s no way we’re spending 40m plus on a cm this window, unfortunately. I’d love Ederson here though.

Yep! Would give us a ton of depth and options regarding setup as well as the possibility to rotate heavily. All of Ederson, Tonali and Bruno can play both DM and box to box. Joelinton can do various roles as well. We could with a double pivot or a 3. Both JP and Akliouche can play as a more advanced player if we don’t play with three. Then there’s also Miley and Hall in worst case scenario.

Played pretty much the entire season bar last 2 games where the coach may have just tried a player here and there considering they were guaranteed 3rd He’s a fantastic midfielder who can cover our 3 in midfield - without doubt my first choice CM purchase

Djed Spence is quality, not anywhere near as good as Tino or Hall but a really good player

There's absolutely no point discussing this with you, so I won't waste my time. You didn't read my post properly, have clearly not paid any attention to Spence when he featured this season, and so you have no idea what you're talking about.

Did Ederson not tail off a bit last season sure he was on the bench a few times I looked.

Love Tino. Seems a great character, just gets on with it and is only going to get better. Can do more than cover in 2 full back positions. Would be need to be an astronomical fee

I like Ait-Nouri but he’s defensively suspect.

I thought Ederson was supposed to be class, assuming we're talking about the DM. Sign all the Brazilians!

Don't forget Tonali. I'm sure we'll see contract extensions for those three (maybe Botman too) by next summer.

Only played on the right a few times apparently, I do wonder if one of those was against us for Watford as I do vaguely recall him playing off that side in a game and I didn’t make a habit of watching much of Watford.

I imagine with Ederson our name's being dropped in Italy to drive up the price.

I’m not sure it’s hard to see happening.

He could play on the right but it would be an entirely different player to Murphy and it wouldn't be an orthodox winger. That said, his first touch and ability to drive into space is pretty good, from what I've seen.

80-85 points if we got those in

He can play on the wing as well, right?

Not necessarily true given we have CL money next season and they don't - and generally more commercial income.
