Who cares what the Lyon chairman says the true ITK, goes by the name of AVB, has said we won't be signing Mouts or Willian but Rafa might go, you can choose not to believe him but Defoe's new contract is a sure sign we aren't signing a striker. So even if Lyon are posturing best case we get Lloris and keep Rafa and worst case we don't get Lloris and sell Rafa. If that is how our window finishes it will be yet another final window week of Levy b/s calling clubs across Europe with stupid bids they won't accept while failing to actually sign the players we need. I suspect the fans patience with Levy will be at an end.

Agreed. Whilst we have made some promising signings, looking at the bigger picture, and on the assumption VDV is headed back to Hamburg, if we do not sign a CM and CF, I just think this window will have been a failure.
If VDV stays (can't see it now), less importance on the CM, but either way, CF is an absolute must. We've known all summer, and still haven't addressed it. Defoe is not the answer, and this new contract is an odd move. Two strikers, one of whom can't play up top on his own, and a relatively untried Harry Kane, is not the strikeforce of a team with realistic top four ambitions.
After all the groundwork, Lloris must be completed too. What happened to the talk of 4pm medical..?
Failure to seal these, is quite frankly embarrassing. I know we are run very prudently to maintain a stable foundation, this is better than being in mountains of debt like other clubs, but if the powers that be truly expect us be competing for CL football, then the investment has to match the ambition. No point changing managers if he is not going to be given a squad with talent and depth capable of doing the job.

I'm still hopeful Levy will prove he's the man, and deliver the players required, but unfortunately the last few windows haven't quite panned out like that. Fingers crossed this time, with a new manager, he will be backed up.

Well that certainly doesn't seem positive from JJ. Hopefully there is a silver lining to that statement.

Or JJ could mean multi Millionair chairman having petty squabbles over pennies namely Levy and the Lyon president.
