Guess its good for depth, but which area are Spurs targeting this summer? Midfield? Gallagher perhaps?
Areas we desperately need help in, in order of importance:
CM - we just don't have a good number 6 or 8, and those are two of the (if not the overall) most critical positions. Bissouma was dominant for about 10 games last year and then fell off a cliff, Sarr looks good but he's not a world beater. We also need Maddison to get back to pre-injury levels / add another creative CM if it's not Deki. Far and away the biggest miss is our deep lying central midfield. We need a Rice/Rodri type (which obviously grow on trees), top tier in that position adds the most win probability to a team....
Striker - we don't have one other than Richarlison (and some youngsters)
Winger - Son looks like he might be falling off an age cliff, Deki looks better inside/as a false 9 (and has no pace), Johnson is raw. Bergvall coming in but who knows if he'll be ready. Same with Mikey Moore. Solomon also coming back to be fair.
Amusingly despite us giving up a ton of chances I think the "pieces" are ok in the back 5, could do with backup FBs.
We're still at least 2+ windows and 4+ starters away from even potentially being "good", and 10+ players away from being very good. Nobody thinks we are going to be challenging for the league next year.
Most of this team aren't Ange's players to play his system so I'm expecting a pretty aggressive squad overhaul over the coming 18 months or so, not even saying some of the players that will leave are bad, just not set out for his system.
