Hey everyone, new here, so excuse any newbie mistakes.
The way I see it, Poch might end up relying on Davy+Jan as a main partnership, with Foyth having a few peep ins at times. When we go back 3, it'll be Dier who's pushed into the backline. Which means the most likely upgrade is at CM/CDM. Now while N'Dombele is ideal, it's unlikely to materialise. Jack Grealish, as I understand it, has excelled in the deeper-ish role and is a possible option. However, the new 5 year deal he signed in December might put him out of our price range. I'm not sure who else the club can target in this position though, other than maybe Rabiot, who'd probably pick another club clamouring for him.
RB is another position in needed of an upgrade. Trippier, however, seems to be Poch's pet. So I doubt we'll deliberately put him out on the shop window. And considering the season he's had, not a lot of top clubs will come for him. Max Aarons has been touted as a possibility, but I'm not entirely sure how serious that is. EDIT: Wan-Bissaka would be a good move, but a typical Spursy one.
IMO, rather than a Kane backup, we need an ERIKSEN backup. The Dane's ability to pick out his teammates is something we sorely lack when he's out of form or not playing. A long-talked about move for Bruno Fernandes is possible, but they'll ask for big money. And we know how Levy is with big money.
I do hope a Sessegnon move materialises, but not at the cost of other positions. Rose isn't retiring anytime soon. (Or is he? xD)
For all the talk of showing 'ambition', I sincerely don't see an ambitious signing coming our way anytime soon.
