ive been a bit luke warm but I’m really encouraged after that

a midfield trio of Ndombele, Gedson and GLC could be really bloody good

I like the sound of that, but worried about where the protection for the back line is going to come from. Then again, if we play 3-5-2 with Son and Kane up top and Sess/Aurier as wing backs I think we'll do fine. Tanganga, Toby and Sanchez should be able to cover that. Dier has even done well in a back 3 at times.

I don't know much about this lad, but sounds a bit of an all rounder. We haven't been linked with many players that provide good assist numbers, so hopefully this lad provides some solid tackling and GLC continues to get a run to bring that creativity.

Initial reaction is I’m not too convinced from the very little I have seen but it is another body and will give him a chance.

Hi guys,
Sorry for my raw english, but i'm portuguese and live currently in Portugal.
Regarding Gédson, what is being said among the portuguese football community is that Benfica made another huge deal once the player never was a firsk pick for the lineup, and never showed (in portuguese league - that places 6 or 7 in europe in terms of quality) the potential that a 65M€ deal option pretends to present.
If you want a middlefielder for quite the same value (around 70/75M€): why don't go for Bruno Fernandes (League MVP for the last 2 seasons).
Just look to João Felix (At Madrid): it was sold by 120M and is struggling to show anything close to this value.
As a huge fan of Spurs (my favourite team in England) hope that Levy wont pay for this guy. This is another deal made by Mourinho and Mendes (his agent) that will be another flop.
I’m not sure where those figures have come from - I’m pretty sure loan + transfer fee will amount to a total of €50m if Spurs take their option.

Welcome to the forum - your English is very good!
