New stadium or not we shouldn't be spending less that Hull and Palace
David Cameron will be chairing a COBRA meeting soon!
Still holding out hope for a surprise attacker in. Other than that, I'm actually rather pleased with how this window's gone.
not any more he isnt and more to the point he cannot move the ball fast or accurately enough for the new system.Squad downgrade today. Sandro is a top midfielder.
How much have you had to drink?Levy time in 10 mins. JJ doesn't know everything. It's fun. BELIEVE
funny that 3-4 years ago we had so much potional and now its 1 step back or a stand still and 2-3 steps forwards for our "rivals" for top 4Exactly!! Its a travesty to see the decline of spurs since enic took over. We were regularly challenging for the league and now we've been reduced to regular european appearences
Dier down?I blood hope stambouli is good, we are due at least 1 signing to hit the ground running.
Can't help think the mood would be different if we had signed all of davies, dier, BS, yedlin, Fazio and Vorm tonight. Fair enough there was no superstar striker etc but to be honest if a crooked Falcao and Danny Welbeck were the best out there then we can hardly complain.
we lose one game against a team that finished 2nd last year and suddenly we need a whole new team.
people need to relax and just see what our new manager can do with our team!! give him time to properly work with our current squad. we have a whole new defence, which is a bonus
I'll miss Sandro as much as the next person, but let's not pretend like there aren't a huge amount of question marks in regards to his fitness and his ability at this point. I also felt his technique was not nearly as good as it once was, which may come back in time, but with Capoue and Stambouli we now have two capable DMs. 10m for Sandro, while it hurts my heart, is not what will make this a bad window for us.
Ok mr. steel cityReally?
How is it any worse than selling Bale to Real and then Real turning around and selling Ozil to Arsenal?
Just because we didn't sign a big name doesn't mean you have to act melodramatic. This is a successful window simply because we didn't end up selling off our best players.
Trimmed a bloated squad have we? Believed ITK as gospel did you? Shame.
Glad Stambouli's in. I would have liked Welbz but not essential for me - more the FM generation craving a signing than anything else.
How football has changed eh?
Er no, more like craving a few signings we need after getting raped by a good side, again! We wanted MS, MM and a forward thinking player and ended up with Fazio, a French guy who may or may not take to the PL and a load of second choice players. Not good enough. Not to mention an £11m profit.Trimmed a bloated squad have we? Believed ITK as gospel did you? Shame.

Depends on how you look at. I think siggy and holtby are effective number 10's, but not so great on the left/right hand side of that formation.
In the number 10 position, eriksen , lamela are our current first choices, and even paulinho could play there (Seems to be quite effective as a lampard goal poacher). We had a lot of players fighting for position.
So for me it makes sense to keep the wingers who are more accustomed to play on the right hand/left hand side of that attacking three behind the striker. If chadli or lamela get injured, we really need lennon or townsend to fill that gap, or if we change formation to force a result (say 4-4-2)
