Sandro Tonali

I agree. That is where RDZ needs to build his stock. He would surely know that if he spent mega bucks on a player in one position then there would be trade-offs in others. I genuinely hope he is the manager that brings quality, not quantity to Spurs.

That said, with a deal apparently agreed for van Hecke, this for Tonali and also a deal for Savinho being strongly mooted, that seems to be three very significant transfers with no apparent trade-off yet.
Some Italian journo (whose pedigree I cannot speak to) is alleging we are willing to up to 100 million for Tonali (pounds or euros unknown)
We do have a lot of room for maneuver with the FFP replacement.

Don't tell me they were moaning when we signed Jimmy in December 61?

Best Xmas present we have had.

This is seemingly De Zerbi's dream ticket now. He has the gratitude and financial backing of the club. We still have the status as well as the finances to make realistic efforts to sign the players he wants.

He's an upgrade to what we have. I think he can do well as a no. 10 to succeed Madison

It would be a great signing, I think a combination of Saudi Sportswashing Machine and competition will scupper us though.

This video analysis kind of matches my thoughts on Tonali although I admittedly haven't watched a ton of him but I also think it matches @fernadez view as well.

Having watched it I think it makes the addition of someone like Gomes even more important because 1 of his massive strengths is recieving under pressure and on the turn.

I'm still skeptical that the deal will be done but this is the type of daring and stylish player we lack in the current squad. Would be great to have him in a Spurs shirt to inspire a new generation of fans , like how Hoddle did for me
