I'm more worried about Harry tbh. As long as there's deafening silence on his side then anything remains possible.
You've missed out Alvarez joining City and the fact that Liverpool had already brought in Diaz to replace Mane. The transfer window is far from over so it's a bit early to say we haven't lost any players who got us top 4, or that City and Liverpool won't do any more business. I believe there still is a gap to them, but hopefully a much reduced one!
Better players does not always mean better team RD, for me if we get Lenglet and Bremer I think we will be cooking on gas.
Your right I did miss Alvarez, Diaz is part of last season squad just as Kulu was for us.
Diaz was good succession planning on Liverpool's part, he is a ready made replacement for Mane and could be better IMO.
But that is not improving the squad, that is simply maintaining a level.
I think that very few of us would like to see it happen. If it does, my thinking is that it will only be in conjunction with our bringing in a top quality marquee signing from elsewhere at pretty much the same time, although I can't think of too many players I'd like to see at Spurs ahead of Son and Kane. I very much doubt that both won't be at Spurs next season, but the Richarlison signing still leaves me with a niggling doubt.
We'll see TS, as I say, I believe we will have closed the gap on City and Liverpool which will always give us hope of being in the race. It's definitely going to be an interesting season with Chelsea, United and the Gooners being something of unknown quantities due to the many changes of ownership/manager/squads. I'm interested to see how Forest do, I think they could be the surprise package, Steve Cooper looks to be a very astute manager.
100% agree, but the general feeling is Conte wants to win the league. It is a big ask, no doubt about it. It's clear to me that Conte has said to club, give me these players and we'll challenge for title. If he believes it why shouldn't I, not saying we'll win but I don't think we will be far away.
It's strange, isn't it, that they seem to be concentrating on re-organising their attack - Sterling, Raphina, late move for Richarlison etc.
It is rather, it appears that we are having difficulty in recruiting our first few choices at CB if the reports are to be believed, you would think that would be their priority considering their needs are probably greater than ours.
Speaking to a Chelsea fan, he was of the opinion that Azpilicueta (33) and Alonso (31) Form have dropped off last season. Also it is looking increasingly likely that Alonso is on his way to Barca, Silva is 37. IMO they are in need of 3 CB's and possibly one FB, Lukaku has left and Werner could be on his way out.
