I don't think we're skint, we have spent £150m+ this window (nearly 100m on Romero and Richarlison alone) and only sold Bergwijn and Carter-Vickers for any sort of fee. I just don't think Zaha is high up FP and Conte's list, we are likely holding back for a couple of big signings in January/next...
Zaha is great to watch in terms of dribbling, winning fouls etc but he is best from the left and we already have Son and Richarlison who are best suited there, we really need a right wing forward to rotate with Deki, which isn’t Zahas strongest position.
Gazza, Hoddle, Modric, Ossie, Berbatov.
One for me too would be Dembele, my all time favourite Spurs player - completely unique in that he was big physically but could dance his way around 3 opposition players, just a supreme dribbler with great control - says alot when plenty opposition...
Glasgow based so went to the game (was in rangers end), thought Sanchez and sessegnon were a bit shaky - Kane was top class and should of scored a couple more if not for their keeper, Romero is just a rolls Royce of a defender, made a couple of their forwards look like toddlers just barging them...
Out of all the new signings, Bissouma is the one I’m super excited about - genuinely the best midfielder outside the top 6 last season (levels above Rice and Phillips for me) and can go on to be world class, we’ve been missing a player like this since Dembele.
He’s also been offered very little game time, fleeting minutes off the bench, no fixed position and a couple of starts from memory in the Europa conference, along with manager upheaval with the Nuno episode. Respect your opinion but there’s a reason he’s been capped by Spain, played 100+ senior...
I think Gil is every bit as talented (if not more so) than Gordon who we were linked with, just needs regular game times to aid in his development, and to add a bit of physicality/size. He has a high ceiling as wing forward or a playmaker/trequartista type. A loan to the likes of Brentford...
Sensible signing, young, home grown, good dribbler, can beat his fullback. When Conte and the coaching team get to work on him in terms of crossing and final delivery we will have a top class wingback (assuming this goes ahead).
Tielemans is undoubtedly talented but he lacks 'grit' like PEH and a bit of mobility, good dribblers just breeze past him. That being said, in a midfield 3 with Bissouma and Bentancur/PEH he could be more of a 'luxury' midfielder, pinging passes around and controlling the tempo of play. If Conte...
