Anything short of a CDM & ST will be seen as a FAILURE, Despite how some may try to see the positive side.
I really feel we've always somehow missed one piece of the jigsaw too. The piece to take us to 'the top'!Story of our lives, season after season we are always a couple of players short of a full picnic
Can't believe some people are defending us if we don't get a CDM.
It's almost as crucial as bringing in a striker imo - Dier, Mason, Alli, Bentaleb is nowhere near good enough for a top 6 side.
Not sure where the DM's coming from though, now that the Witsel links have dried up...Hopefully some DM ITK is incoming
Berahino and it's not a complete failure. But it certainly won't be 'the best window ever' that's for sure.anything short of a cdm and st will be seen as a complete failure, despite how some may try to see the positive side.
Bit of a joke name in response to the BSoDL reference.
They spend all TF whining like they've been slapped around like a Red headed stepchild.
Hence... Gingers
Not in four competitions mate.mason and Bentaleb alone were good enough for a top-5 side last season...

The Carrick years I thought we missed a Ledley partner and a nifty winger
The Berbatov years someone creative in midfield
The Modric/Bale/VdV years someone deadly up front (though Crouch was ok)
Now it feels like we are several pieces short of the top 4 let alone great things. Keeping Hugo, Vertonghen, Kane, Eriksen and adding some steel in MF and pave up front could be it though...

And you think that's funny?
Whilst I agree we need another CM, you do realise that the midfield you said isn't good enough for top 6, finished 5th last season, with a weaker defence behind them?
He kinda came alive for half a seasonPAV up front? Erk! Oh, no. re-read...
I think we can get away without a new DM this season, but a back up striker for Kane is a total necessity-don't see how we are covered for cup games without one. Hopefully bera does come off- however Peace seems adamant he won't deal with us whatever pulis thinks, so we'd damn well better have an alternative target.
David, they are not strikers. They are wide players who can play there- just like Chadli. By your logic, Chadli is a striker as well.I'm a bit bemused why people keep insisting that we should sign a 4th striker. We had one to starft with and we've signed two more, either of whom can play as a central attacker or on either side iof a front 3.
And we have another striker whom we can't get rid of.
Relying on Dier to cover defensive midfield all season seems rather risky and his use in our opening 4 matches seems to represent an acknowledgement by Pochettinio that the pairing of Bentaleb and Mason, talented tbhough they are, does not protect the defence effectively. I'd rather see a good defensive midfielder arrive. We have enough strikers.

Evidently.
