      No-one - save it in case you want Haaland GW2 along with everyone else and his cost goes up or if Bailey doesn't work out to give more choice of replacement or if you decide you should have got in Perisic not Cash

        Yup I agree. it’s just between him and Son for me.

        I feel like I’m having to compensate with Foden instead with Son instead of Spurs mid and KDB.

        Not sure why people think he will massively haul in one game against Southampton compared to Haaland against West Ham. Spurs couldn't beat them last season and Southampton have strengthened. It's a waste of a transfer IMO.
