Can you imagine if we were playing Liverpool today?
I'm pissed off right now so I'm going to make this very simple.
We need:
A RB - Aurier is worth taking a risk on based off of Trippiers performance today. Fucking woeful.
Possibly a LB - if Rose goes or even if his injuries make us doubt his presence this season then Davies is NOT good enough for a title chasing side.
Some form of attacking player with creativity and pace (pace is less essential really but brings another element) - our front 3/4 is fairly fluid so it doesn't really matter what position he plays but we saw today the consequences of not having competition for places in attacking positions.
But that's ok because we've signed a third choice goalkeeper, a reserve centre back and Sanchez ( who should be good so not actually unhappy with that).
Would love Seri here
Keita Balde has never really tickled my fancy... bad attitude and fairly typical YouTube wingerHe'd be a wonderful signing. I'd rather him than Keita Balde 100%
You're absolutely insane. If you watched the game you'd know Chelsea's pace didn't cost us, they got a goal from a world class free-kick and mistakes by Wanyama and Lloris. Don't act like you're some sort of messiah when everybody on this forum have been screaming for a fast attacker in the last two years. Remember not long ago you suggested this line-up
Gibbs you've only just changed your tune, before you wanted a "team of beasts" wouldn't be surprised to see you play Wanyama behind Kane. Clueless tosser

If we can get Aurier, Barkley, Foyth, Seri and a young gun striker hungry for the Kane challenge I think we'd be in the best shape I've ever seen a Spurs team.
That's my wishlist. Make it happen Poch!! It's what our squad needs as they looked flat today bless them
That's 5 players. Admittedly 1-2 of them appear to be close to completed but why on earth do we always wait until so late. Aurier I can understand given the legal delays but matchday 3 has just gone and all we have (that will actually play for us) is Sanchez. It's a bit of a joke tbh. Stiffest defence last term and he's focused on defensive players for the most part. Surely they see we need additional CM/AM/ST depth more?If we can get Aurier, Barkley, Foyth, Seri and a young gun striker hungry for the Kane challenge I think we'd be in the best shape I've ever seen a Spurs team.

No having better wingbacks.Signings aren't costing us points, it's a mentality thing with the players

Selling Walker has cost us points .
Agreed. It's also telling that Burnley weren't targeting him today (he was defending solidly enough and getting back when necessary) but rather going for Trippier instead.Seen a few players say Davies isn't good enough - while I agree there are definitely better full back options out there (Danny Rose), he's improved a lot since coming into the side last season and he's been one of our better players in our first 3 games.

Salah is scoring goals, Morata is scoring goals, lukaku is scoring goals. Every other top club gets business done earlier and get a jump as we start slowly.
