Reasons to be Cheerful

[coy-spurs1882]

I'm open to the idea of Foyth at RB and I think he could prove to be a decent option there, especially this season when we're thin in that position. However, having seen the way he struggled against pace when playing there for Argentina, I think it would be very optimistic to pin our hopes on him as our long term, 1st choice RB.

Do you honestly think RB isn't a priority position for us next summer?

should be winter...

I'd say we most likely need 4.

- 100% need a RB: KWP is talented but should be a Davies-like backup option. When you watch players like Pereira at Leicester, TAA , Wan Bissaka (defensively), and Walker, it pains me how much better they are than any of our RB options. This should be priority no. 1.

- CB: We need to bring someone in to replace Toby and/or Jan.

- AM: Even though Lo Celso is kind of an Eriksen replacement, we can't rely on 1 player for all of our creativity. If we don't go for a more direct replacement like Fernandez, we should bring in a tricky wide player who can actually beat a man 1v1 in the mould of Zaha/Pepe.

- DM: If Dier doesn't come back to fitness/form and Skipp doesn't break through, we'll desperately need a DM, and arguably we should buy one regardless.

RB: Atal/Aarons/Sessegnon
CB: not sure who we will go for as Andersen joined Lyon
AM: Dybala
DM: not much links also, Berge?

If we want a 'modern fullback' who can rampage down the flanks like those of Liverpool and City, Foyth won't be our man.

I would wait and see how he does 1st before stating it as a priority. To be honest if he could get his head right I would love to see Aurier have a good spell. Being rotated so often doesn’t help a player settle when they are used to playing week in week out. I wished Poch never rotated that position so often
