Summary
Spurs are spending close to £200 million to build the midfield De Zerbi actually wants. A-licence coach JJ joins Jim to walk through exactly what Tonali and Fernandes would bring to the system, to the squad balance, and to the bigger picture of the rebuild. - How both signings fit De Zerbi's double pivot - Why the back-line work (Senesi, Van Hecke, Porro) was the right first step - What the £200m actually delivers — and what still needs to follow - The Xhaka case study: why the same player can transform under a different system - Why "progressive passing" is a system question, not a one-player question The considered version of the Tonali and Fernandes conversation.
