Then we’d just sign Bassong.I struggle to believe that a fee has been agreed if he's still being pick and playing in pre-season matches...surely not?
What if he picked up an injury last night?

The deal has not been finalised but it's as good as. All about structure and how/when it's paid now.
Grealish is better participating in pre season than not, as far as him being ready for us is concerned.
There's a video on YouTube called Jack Grealish - Season overall. If you've got a bit of time on your hands watch it. I think he's an absolute gem
Just can't get excited about this at all.
Where are the top quality signings to propel us to 1st place?

and then theres no quaranteeThe only players that will propel us above City are guys like Bale, Ronaldo and Mbappe. We can't afford them. Sorry.
Practically all of them. Modric, for example, is happy enough on his left if he has space and time, but close him down and he goes fully right footed.How many utter genius footballers have been mostly one footed? Quite a lot.
With respect this is bollocks imo. The best teams don't necessarily have all the best individuals. I've always thought it to be more about how the individual parts function as a unit and the balance of talents within a team. Of course individual quality is very important but I don't think it's the be all and end all.
If we signed the right kind of midfield player(s) of a decent standard then I honestly think we could win the title. You seem to be forgetting that we already have 'guys like Bale, Ronaldo and Mbappe' in Eriksen, Kane and potentially Alli.
There's no chance we'd be able to buy most of our current XI from other clubs so the talent is already there. It just needs one or two additions where the balance is not right.
That was the May ITK. Haven't you heard? We're now onto the July ITK, which says we'll hopefully, maybe end up stronger than we were before the window opened. Strap yourself in, it's going to be a hell of a ride over the next three weeks…Just can't get excited about this at all.

I've nothing against signing Grealish but if it's the height of our ambition this summer then we are fucked.
Sorry.
Yeah of course, just those three. Actually players like Mane, Salah, Firminio have all been signed by Liverpool in recent seasons and would all significantly add options to our attack which I think would enable us to challenge for the title. The reason I mention those three is because they feasibly are the type of players that should be "affordable" as you put it, for spurs.
There are no guarantees any signing will be a success but you can't pretend to me that Grealish is the best type of signing we can make.

We are able to sign more than one player per transfer window.
No you're not. Also in what way are we "fucked"?
And what is stopping us signing an actual CM? What is stopping four players coming in?Spurs need to make three signings which instantly improve the first 11.
These positions are WF, CM and CB or Striker (back up to Kane).
Martial would cover WF and striker. CB no idea. CM it is highly debatable Grealish will make enough of an impact and is of the required quality to instantly improve our CM.
If he is, excellent but he's hardly a proven CL quality CM.
