Possible solution for Tottenham striker problem
Football London correspondent Allasdair Gold talked with Ange about reinforcements of the squad in forward line which is not yet on the level to fight for the Premier League title. Tottenham coach said player should be of his "mould" like Japanese attacker he's got in Celtic. Few fans including myself asked what that "mould" is ? If you ask me striker should have pace, should be able to control ball very well, to unmark himself quickly and of course to shoot on goal and score. He should also have physicality to wrestle with defenders, to have decent height, he should be pressing and ball recovery machine without the ball. That is mould of attacker for me. Spurs will open talks with Solanke, maybe Ivan Toney, maybe Johnathan David, maybe someone else... We all know it will go hard with negotiator like Daniel Levy. However saying all that, I asked myself is solution for this problem already in our squad in front of our eyes ? There is player with all those qualities, but he's playing in position of left central defender. He's probably the fastest in league, he showed he can unmark and score vs Luton away, he showed he can shoot on target and score Van Basten type of screamer. I still remember non believing face of opponent goalkeeper who didn't even move when rocket ball ended inside his net. On top of that he has height, he has strength to wrestle with defenders. He's skillful defender in this moment with great knowledge how to take ball away from opponent and how to tackle. Imagine you are defender and such player is running toward you. What kind of fear and dread that would cause ? How many forced mistakes and lost balls do you see among opponent defenders in this scenario ? I see plenty. Man could be pressing and ball recovery machine upfront. Yes, yes I already hear you screaming you're insane, he's defender, no way etc... I must tell you that Bale was left back at some point and then genius brain of coach moved him forward and he became what he was. C. Ronaldo was winger in Manchester United and then genius brain of coach moved him on striker position. I thought he's crazy, but before I said cheese he was in Real Madrid winning Ballon d'ors and Champions Leagues to become one of the best players in the world of all times. Yes, this requires some courage of coach, it might not work, but I doubt it will not. Guy is mix of Mbape and Van Basten and Spurs are using him to chase opponents who run in counter attacks. Yes, if he is forward someone fast need to come to play LCB, but I guess you can find quality left footed central defender in transfer market easier than striker which ticks all boxes. If this doesn't work you can always return him in defense. Spurs still have Richarlison, Son, Kuluševski (a.k.a. Kulu-Dele after Asian tour), Lo Celso, Veliz, Scarlett, Will Lankshear, Mickey Moore who can play in striker role. Before you jump on me for Lo Celso, Unai Emeri think he can play attacker and Jose described him like very good with the ball and bad without ball, he proved he has skill and ability to shoot ball on target. Kuluševski also showed he can umark and grab ball, score and assist on multiple occasions. There is Son who played there big part of last season scoring a lot of goals. Youngsters like Lankshear and Moore are not knocking on the door but hitting the door of dressing room with ram with recent performances. I am not that worried with striker position like I am for DM and RW starter. Mickey in #9 and Romero in #6 that is worth trying. Maybe that throw new ballon d'or winner. It's easy to return if that doesn't work.

FOUR SIGNINGS IN FOUR WEEKS
Hi,who missed my absence?🙂 It's only the first day in July, but the 'Real Madrid' of London is doing brisk, but efficient business. Wait a minute, that's the club where in mid-August,Mauricio Pochettino the then coach was frantically hoping will sign four players in two week (the transfer window closes,end of August). Business at snail speed was what this club was known for,pretty much like their red wearing big brother. So in April 2018, it was Pochettino moaning about the club's slow start to seasons being occasioned by the club's habit of leaving it late in the window before getting in new signings.In his words:'We need today, no, yesterday, to start to work to try to sign players.' He words even revealed his near confusion. Let me add that leaving it late effectively ensures that all desired signings don't happen. By July 2018 and four weeks before the commencement of the season the club had made absolutely no signings. Being in Pochettino's shoes must have been hard sailing folks.🙂 Before I proceed may I unveil a little bit of some mystery. By 'Real Madrid' of London, I am referring to Tottenham. I used that name with reference to the colour of their home strip(which is white) being same as Madrid's. Please this is the context alone,in which I used that name,apologies to Real Madrid faithfuls if they feel offended by the use of the hallowed name of their club. "Red wearing big brother" refers to Arsenal,since red is a huge theme on Arsenal's home street. Again as before,I spoke of 'brother' only to refer to the fact that they both hail from same city, no offence to Arsenal and Tottenham fans who don't want to be seen as brothers with each other. May I now proceed. It was a *sonic* boom of a 4 weeks– Perisic, Bissouma, Forster and Richarlison! All these quality additions that definitely improves the side,plus giving it much needed squad depth. It's the Paratici– Fabio Paratici– the Italian,Managing Director of football for Tottenham. He was employed in June,2021,immediately after he left Juventus,where he did an exceptional work,in a similar role, where he worked for 11years. He proved himself an exceptional talent in player recruitment at Juve. Part of his time at Juve was spent with Antonio Conte(the team's coach) and those years were successful years with both of them dovetailing nicely. Infact Conte was to be appointed alongside Paratici in 2021, but Tottenham felt he was too expensive. They suffered for that unwise choice and had to scamper back in search of him; good enough he wasn't employed yet and ofcourse they met his desired pay. So the Fabio–Antonio combo was reignited. So we go through the names briefly: Ivan Perisic: This man from Crotia is a competent customer,a hardworking right winger who Conte knows very well,having coached him at Inter and Juve before. At 31years of age and a World Cup veteran,he brings a massive load of experience to this Tottenham side that will be competing in the Champions league. Sven Bissouma: This signing made people to sit-up and begin to take Tottenham seriously. This player has drawn admiring glances from big clubs.He sits at the base of the midfield dictating play. He is a bundle of energy and difficult to disposses because of his skill on the ball and his low centre of gravity.He can play as a number 4 or assist same playing as a box-box midfielder. Great buy! Ben Foster: A great keeper to have as a backup. He has premier league experience, under his belt,so he is a useful addition to give club captain, Hugo Lloris some fight. Richarlison: The darling of Everto football club before now. He has been a mainstay under any coach who has coached Everton. He is a Brazilian and he offers you that Brazil *magic* from time to time. He is a forward player,with speed and energy. He is known for his strong winning mentality, and hunger for goals.
