I wish I could like this and Trix's post 1000x, hit the nail on the head. People want to act like we are the only club who bought "flops", see Cuadrado, Falcao (so far) etc etc. We used the Bale money and took a punt on some established players (Soldado) and some exciting talent (Lamela). This is obviously not our standard SOP, but we got the cash influx and decided to go for it. It didn't work out unfortunately. There are so many massive things on the horizon for our club. We have an amazing new stadium coming, a super lucrative deal with the largest sport in the United States, and signing Son will most likely see us get massive support and probably some deals (training kit, stadium naming rights etc) with major South Korean corporations.

The support for Poch from Levy/ownership and the revamping of our scouting system with Paul Mitchell, as well as the a major focus on our youth development, means we are planning for the future. I'm very excited to see where our clubs goes in the next 5 years as I think they are absolutely critical to our long term success. Maybe I am less jaded than some of you since I have only been following Spurs since 2010 but I like the direction we are moving and very much look forward to the future.

Really agree with this entry, this window IS different in that all the positions we know are weak are being worked on. Even if, for what ever reason, not every one of these is covered in this window at least we know that the problem has been identified and will get sorted. Also VERY optimistic for the future, what with the facilities already built, the new stadium, the cash that this will realise through naming rights, sponsorship etc. and not least because of this group of young talented players who will only get better and gel into the type of team we will love watching.

I'm thinking it ties into A&C's surprise bit at the end of his OP in yesterday's thread. Written in white, los blancos. u24. Could be Jese, currently in los blancos, turning 23 in February. Or maybe even Morata. Ex los blancos, currently at Juve who just called off Zaza's deal to West Ham(maybe that was because a bid came in from us for Morata and they lost Llorente), and turns 23 in October.

Another possibility that doesnt tie into A&C's surprise bit but is a good striker who is under 24 could be Alcacer, although he'll be 22 on Sunday, so a year away from u23 if the u24 meant 23...

Oh fuck me. I just convinced myself we're signing Morata. God damn't. Now Im going to be supremely dissappointed when we don't

I am not ITK just a regular poster / user on here but my mate bumped into Aaron Lennon in Mayfair Hotel on a night out last week and Azza told him he is off to West Ham?!? Also happy to send a picture he got with him to the Rob / AC??

I'm really very happy with the current squad for this season (including the players we acquired earlier - Pritchard, Alli and the unwanted players that we sold )

I'd be happier if we could get an experienced DM and a striker ( as cover or working in tandem with Kane) before this TW closes.

The icing on the cake would be if we could sell/loan the players that would, likely, not play a part for us this season.

Strikers under 24 that are off the top of my head we haven't been linked with that are at least "pretty good":

- Icardi
- Zaza
- Milik
- Lassoga
- Embolo

Have you just googled diseases?

It's been a pretty good window. The only thing missing was ITK of the kind that olderyid and his son specialized in. And you went and did it. That's fantastic!!!!! Can't give you enough rep

Alvaro Morata? Wasn't there mumblings before?

Seriously ? Madrid want him back for 35m and he doesn't want to leave Juve for them but we think Juve will sell him to Spurs ???

Love the optimism though.

SlunkSoma · Aug 28, 2015

Icardi in with Lamela going the other way? Possible that discussions with Inter about the former prompted an enquiry about the former.

U.S. Spurs Fan · Aug 28, 2015

In regards to Gards "under 24" comment, some 23 year old strikers...

Kokorin (maybe)
Lacazette (we wish)
Zaza (probably not)
Rodrigo
Muriel
Kramaric (Leicester)
Ben Yedder (remember links in media last year I think)
Borini (ugh)
Destro (already transferred I think)
Luuk de Jong

dagraham · Aug 28, 2015

Please not Lennon to West Ham.

Spurs Lodge Kittens · Aug 28, 2015

Have has spent alot this summer. Perhaps they'll look to claw something back somewhere.

Can always hope

millsey · Aug 28, 2015

He has not featured for Leicester at all this season...

Would love to see Muriel but he only just signed for Sampdoria this calendar year.

On the striker in question:

Gards ‏@Gards44 41s42 seconds ago
@dandella9 he is very good and still young! Under 24

I think the '24' could be the hint here, a bit specific IMO...

That rules Ibra out then lol hmmm exciting stuff though.

Trix · Aug 28, 2015

All this talk of new strikers, but I'm pretty sure that if we can do Berahino then we will. Any talk of new names being looked at etc will only be players for back up in case SB can't be done.
