If I had my own way, I’d rid of the whole defence ( keep Toby / Verts as back ups ) and get a whole new back 4, but we all know this is unrealistic. So, for me its all about shoring up our defence, defensive midfield and please for the love of god baldy, go out and buy a decent striker to either compliment Harry or at least keep him on his toes.
I don’t want to hear this bulls** excuse anymore of “ who’s going to play 2nd choice to Harry “. Mourinho went 4-4-2 the other day, so clearly there’s room for another natural striker if need be. I would go all out and replace both full backs. Left and Right back should be the biggest priority this summer. A proper decent defensive midfield enforcer to, which will give GLC the freedom to go more attacking and hopefully rack the goals/assists up.
Then obviously an out and out natural striker to give Kane some competition. So breaking it down - Right back, Left back , Defensive midfielder and Striker. I would go all out for a top centre back to, but I’m trying to put my Levy bald cap on and think this is him we are talking about.
What priority are we going for in what order ? What players do you want ?
What positions do we need next season?

And just for the record...I'd trade/buy Upamecano no matter the cost.

May be worth putting in a bid for Dybala, Ted.

Id Try and Sell NDombele, Dele, Aurier & Winks.
I know its not fancy foreign players but I'd go after 3 from Southampton (Holberg, Ings & JWP). If any of the above can be used to get them then so be it.
I think we have to realistic in the type of players we go after in terms of cost and the fact we have no CL. Not saying they would set the world on fire but I think they would make us stronger defensively, Better balanced and give us a different way to play other than. sideways, sideways, sideways, sideways... Lump it to kane
In a 4231.......

Fack all creativity in that line up, literally nobody to unlock a defence. People are being too quick to discard Dele imo, since Eriksen left he is one of our few creative players. It is hard to expect Lo Celso to start putting up stats like what Dele (and Eriksen) has, so far he has zero goals and zero assists in the PL.
I`d swap Winkssoko for GLC and GLC for Dele

Dele😂
Am sorry but when I look at the creative players in the league and how they caress and manipulate the ball and most importantly KEEP the ball , Dele is small time.
Dele is a box to box Player With good energy and can pop in with a goal here and there . If you need someone to take a game by the scruff of the neck,create and stand out he is not your man .
Many players are holding us back and he is one of them . Called it years ago even when Dembele was carrying him and his mistakes and got slated. Nothings changed .

He's not even really box to box. Doesn't have the engine or power. He's a second striker. Doesn't have the ball retention skills to play in midfield but doesn't have the power or pace to play as a proper 9. He just sort of flits around as a luxury player that needs a solid midfield behind him and a proper striker ahead of him to do all the hard work while he tries all the fancy flicks with no positional or ball retention responsibility. He got away with it under Pochettino because Dembele was two midfielders in one, Kane was a beast and the full backs stayed high to give attacking numbers and allow Alli to float around. He's got no real position in most formations though. Waste of talent. Needs to commit to being an 8 (and play simple keep-ball better) or a 9 (and work hard on his physique).
