Good, was hoping that would be the case.
I think that's because people wrote of Dele or thought he could play elsewhere. Now Dele seems to be Jose's guy at number 10 then it does beg the question do we need both Celso and Bruno for a roughly combined figure of 120 mil (70 on Celso 50 on Bruno) when both play best behind the striker. Especially when we really need other positions.

I agree, that’s the reason but disagree with it. We need midfielders with a strong passing game and who can create chances. Winks can’t do that, Dele is a bit of a problem in terms of his skill set/position, so if Eriksen goes we only have Ndombele and LoCelso. Im not sure what Lo Celso’s passing game is like either, I thought (perhaps wrongly) it isn’t his strongest suit.
i think we still have major holes all over the squad And Jose coming won’t transform those players. We need full backs, centre backs, dm, am, someone as kane backup whether that’s Parrott or a flexible wf... maybe Gk.... but the part for me that would most immediately improve us is signing a top goal scoring wing forward. I‘d much rather see Skipp or even Foyth given an opportunity as dm if it meant we could sign someone to play up top add pace and goals. I’m a big fan of Son and Lucas but I don’t think either are quite top level, and their goal records agree. Someone like sancho or preferably a faster option would transform our expectations, imo, from debating about whether our attack is good enough, to knowing what is.
We’ve paid £15m alreadySorry can anyone translate this?

Is GLC a starter?
Would have to dig out the GLC thread but am convinced ITK confirmed in the end that the all in deal would be £46m, definitely less than TN?
I'd love it if Jose brought Skipp through, but I feel like he wants a really physically imposing player in there. There is time for Skipp and tbh Matic would probably only last a couple of years here if we did sign him.
ST - Will Jose need another target man to cover Kane if he gets injured, considering we play more direct now? Maybe Dele will have to cover as the main ST rather than Son. Parrott also waiting in the wings I suppose. It's a tricky position to sign for.
WF - The only other area I can see room for improvement is Lucas. However we need to see what he can do if Jose gives him a run of games first. The talent is there no doubt.
I'm a bit worried that game after game we play without a striker option on the bench. I would like to have Parrot there at the very least, otherwise I'd like to sign someone.
Regarding WF, Lamela is another one could be replaced. I love him as a player, I really do. But his fitness will always be a problem.
The striker options are already out on the pitch, Son and Lucas.
And if one of them get injured then that is one less wf AND one less striker option at the same time. I'd prefer if we had fresh legs to throw on, if we need them.
Aurier is playing well but Atal would be amazing in this system!
We could use Dele as a false 9 if necessary, while we sort out our more pressing issues.
