But isn't there a difference between getting better and getting to the next level?It means it'll make us better. I hope this helps.

I keep seeing this said, and I just don't understand it.
We scored 3 goals at Stamford Bridge without Kane, we beat Man City the year before without Kane. Our biggest problems don't lie when Kane is gone, its when Eriksen has an off day. We need to lessen the burden on him, not Kane.We only have 1 quality striker in Kane as Llorente &a Janssen aren't good enough and we lose Son for August, September & January so getting a really impressive AM/FWD adds so much value over the course of a 50 game season. I can 100% see why Pochettino thinks this kind of signing is a shrewd one to make for first team impact and squad utilisation

Son is fast as fuck and the only winger in the world who doesn't run hot and cold is Messi. Lucas Moura scored 19 goals in his final season at PSG.
I'm not disagreeing that it would help but I fail to see how another winger in the league not named Hazard or Salah takes us to the "next level".
So we're doing 60+ million deals because Son is going to miss a month this season?What happens if Kane gets injured or needs a rest when we lose Son as well this season due to his involvement with South Korea in Aug/ Sept & Jan?
We are still capable of scoring goals, any team is. My point is the squad gets a player genuinely pushing for first XI competition on the left predominantly and one who can tuck in for Kane instead of over reliance on Sonny having to play there. It's a two player rolled into one option for the boss. It gives him genuinely impressive options to compete.
I also think Grealish would have been a terrific understudy to Eriksen. Homegrown, passes forward, plays with his head up etc. I'd have loved him coming to Spurs for the exact reason you have highlighted

Asian Olympics August-September I believe and the Asian cup throughout January (should South Korea not win Gold at the Asian Olympics)

1. CM does that not a winger/forward.Because our biggest weaknesses are 1. Slow turnover of play from defence to attack especially compared to City, Liverpool and Madrid arguably the 3 best teams in europe last year.
2. Ability vs teams who sit 11 behind the ball and lacking people who can take on a defender with the ball at their feet. Son Pales in comparison to Zaha on this front and Moura to be fair to him was brought in to alleviate this and before that Poch himself said that Lamela was the only person who could do that for us.
3. I think we have the poorest return for goals and assists from players off the bench in the entire prem. We need depth and players who can change a game.
Son is quick. But not quick on the ball regards to dribbling.Son is fast as fuck and the only winger in the world who doesn't run hot and cold is Messi. Lucas Moura scored 19 goals in his final season at PSG.

2. You know what beats the bus? Passing, not dribbling. Son by himself got us points in several instances last season against busses in the Crystal Palace game and the West Ham game.
3. We have those players in Lucas & Lamela. Lamela had 4 goals and 7 assists in a limited season and Lucas looks like a fantastic addition.
Asia games is all that matters re military service, Asia cup is meaningless and he probably won’t be released for it.Asian Olympics August-September I believe and the Asian cup throughout January (should South Korea not win Gold at the Asian Olympics)
