Spurs Have 2 Weeks to Fix a Problem No One's Noticed | The Analyst

Spurs are one injury away from the exact problem that derailed last season: Former professional player and analyst Enya Collins joins Jim with the data on Maddison's availability, Kulusevski's return, where Conor Gallagher genuinely fits, and the three realistic transfer targets who could fix it — including Bilal El Khannouss, the Stuttgart playmaker Spurs are now being linked with, plus Charles De Ketelaere and Romano Schmid.

We break down the three signals that correlate most with elite number tens (chances created, passes into dangerous areas, through balls), the "creation cliff" when Gallagher plays, what De Zerbi's previous tens — Mac Allister, Gross and more — all had in common (ball retention), and why the market for a creative ten who fits that profile is almost empty.
