Cristian Romero

I don't particularly think Oshimen is a realistic proposition for us, due to wages club status etc but regarding Oshimen the simple answer is that he's a far better player. We can't make decisions on whom we sign or don't based on trying to be nice to an existing player. We simply have to get the best and must suited player for our requirements. If that means Solanke becomes depth all the better.

Solanke is a decent player and I agree that I think Frank can get a bit more from him in terms of goal threat but even then you always have to ask the question if you can improve upon someone and if you can then you know what the answer should be. You keep doing that until you can't actually improve on your players anymore, at that point you team is going to be exceptional. Otherwise you're just settling and you will fall short.
For sure we should be willing to upgrade on anyone.

But what upgrades give us the most value for money?

And for a player with reportedly sky high wage demands questions of what that does to our overall wage structure come in too. What would the total cost be and if we instead spent that money on other positions or other players what would give us more of an upgrade.

I also think questions of motivation are fair when a player chooses money over playing at a higher level.

As I was saying I don't think we can or will go for Oshimen. I was just contesting the idea that we have is good enough as it stands. It's just a thought process I often see used amongst Tottenham fans and I refute it.
