Bissouma the obvious one, but Richarlison is a terrific signing. Our attack goes up a notch with him as our options are so much better. Perisic improves the 1st 11 too
One vote so far for the 60 million dollar man
I voted Bissouma, with Richarlison a shade behind. We need Bissouma more, but he does kinda just do one job that we desperately need.
Having Richarlison means when one of our front three goes down for a month with an injury, we reload with a genuine threat. It frees us up to rotate, more options in terms of tactics, we can play Harry or Kulu behind, Son up front, Richy across all three, two up front and just plain rest and competition.
Both are the signings that set us up for runs at trophies. I don't think it's dawned on us yet how amazing this (un)finished window is.
Bissouma is 5pts extra a season, Richarlison 5pts. Peresic, Spence and Lenglet another 3pts each maybe. We are closing that gap, no doubt.
We've needed a decent left.footed center bac since Toby lost a yard and couldn't cover verity's fuc ups... And THERE were quite a few... Davies is ok and has done well enuf... BUT ... If what I'm readin is right lenny is a step up...
For this season only, Perisic.
I fancy Perisic to be our 4th leading scorer behind Kane, Son and OG's :contethumb:

Perisic for me. Our options at left wing back have been dogshit, now we have a very good player there who has excelled with Conte ball. If we can upgrade the right side as well, it will raise the level of our play.
I'd go Richarlison.
Partly because he's a very good player, and yes, partly because of the big transfer fee!
Spending £60 million sends a message to the wider football world that we're serious about finally winning trophies again rather than trying to wing it on the cheap
Sends a message to our best players that they can fulfil their ambition with Spurs
Sends a message to Antonio Conte that we'll back him with serious hard cash
And sends a message to our fans that we're actually buying football players for the impact they'll make on the football team rather than for any potential resale value.they may have
We used to be trailblazers and big hitters in the transfer market. A lot of our younger, and newer fans don't seem to appreciate this. It's about time we got that status back

If I was being brave I would say Lenglet, we have fairly low expectations and expect that he'll be adding some depth to the mix of central defenders but Conte insisted on getting him, could well be a dark horse signing.
But ultimately I'm a coward and I reckon Bissouma will make a huge difference, especially in games where we want to play with a press.

I'm hoping that rotation means that none of them go down for that month
bissouma comes straight into the team in the most important area of the pitch so its hard to say he isnt. richarlison is a huge signing though, we havent had good enough depth quality in the front line for donkey years, especially someone who can actually play as a #9. 60m on a forward when we already have an outstanding front 3 is a real statement. its 4500/1 for the quad, worth a punt imo.
never been more excited for a season to start. weve always watched our best players leave because the club couldn't match their ambition,this is the first time thats all changed! exciting times finally.
fair play to levy, he built the foundations and is now having a real go. the potential for this clubs huge now.

Bias and football ignorance.
Richarlison is absolute dynamite so our squad benefits from his energy, arrogance and quality
To not see that as being likely (Not definite) is football stupidity..
Says the fence-sitter that just said this:
My god; you pretentious, hypocritical ass....

Answering the question it'll likely either be Perisic or Bissouma but all of our signings have an important part to play in the season. Richarlison will likely not tear things up stats wise but the effect of being able to rest any of the front 3 and be comfortable with who we bring is should not be understated.
Or the fact that we have a settled front 3 already whereas Bissouma and Perisic will almost certainly walk in to the starting XI and thus prove more influential signings?
Bissouma by a country mile. He's right up there with the Fabinho's of the EPL, and is a big improvement on Hojbjerg, who should never be a guaranteed starter in a perfect world. Perisic would be second, although I do wish he was a couple of years younger. But all of the signings range from excellent to solid, and all make perfect sense.
Just need another forward player now and perhaps a quality right wing-back if there's one out there. But at least Doherty showed there's a decent player in him under Conte at times. He was absolutely hopeless before Antonio joined.

Bissouma dominates midfields and has for afew years, Richarlison scores goal in big moments but for me it's Perisic
I've wanted this guy for years, genuine monster of a footballer, elite in every skillset, will suprise alot of people
