Not necessarily. If the decision-makers adequately and prudently tailor their acquisitions to squad needs, it shouldn't be a problem. We just bought wrong players at the wrong positions in the wrong system. What has occurred since was almost inevitable.
Left Back, Left Wing, Centre Back, Striker and maybe a CAM depending on who we sell.
LB: Ben Davies/Santon
LW: Konoplyanka
CB: Caulker/Richards (would be competition/cover for Walker at right back too)
ST: Remy/Lukaku/Dzeko
CAM: Lallana
Straight away I'll say that Lukaku and Lallana are both unrealistic I think but I'd have them in a heartbeat. I don't think that Dzeko is too unrealistic though, he'll want more football and with us (most likely) selling Adebayor due to his wages we could probably afford to pay Dzeko's? But I really don't have a clue who LvG (or whoever the manager is next year) is going to want to buy...

I wouldn't worry about it. When the original source cited 20 mil for the price, they shot themselves in the foot as far as credibility.
Not sure if I'd laugh or cry if we bought him for £20 million
Tears of hysteria are the oft result of such an emotional battle.
People are talking about Micah but I'd rather not. I'm surprised that such a big guy can be so full of himself. Do not want.
Of the players I'd like to bring in, there are only three positions maximum where I think we need an immediate introduction to the starting eleven (four if we've no choice at CB). LW, CM, and LB optional. I think with a LW that can actually fulfill the role's responsibilities, a dynamic BTB/DLP type in CM to distribute, and Eriksen in his favored position of CAM, we arguably wouldn't even need an immediate swap at LB. Kaboul looks like he's feeling better and more confident in his knees, and if Vertonghen stays as well then there's no urgent need for a CB swap.
Contrast this versus starting the season in August with five new players and a sixth in an influential role he had barely played at Spurs (Siggy at CAM).
Yes. I would 100% be for Umtiti, he can also step in for cb is needed. I like Fryers and think he will develop into a starter for us but Umtiti can step right in.
