As with all things Spurs the last few years, I'm kind of numbed to it all.

Regardless of anything you mentioned... Why not sign another striker?
We knew the price they wanted for Berahino, we've known for 2-3 months.
We are now stuck with ONE striker until January... How can anyone excuse that?
It was obvious this morning it was balls in on Berahino or nothing... Absurd.
We should have secured him ages ago or moved on, why on earth did we leave it so late and not find an alternative?
Don't try to tell me there isn't a striker out there who could do the job as back up for us.

Gentlemen, the Kool-Aid has been prepared. Form an orderly queue and have your cups at the ready
Hopefully all the negative Nancies drink it...

Fucking fuming.
Levy has just put Poch under serious pressure, but its not Poch who should suffer if Kane gets injured - its Levy. Always been pro Levy but by God he's pushed my buttons today.
Levy is wholly responsible for this mess, entirely predictable and sick of it. When a Club doesn't want to sell its prized asset its not going to respond well to trying to bully them into selling for less. That's what happened here, West Brom would of sold had we met their valuation. They were determined not to get bullied by us. We used the usual tactics and they didn't budge.
We should of moved on from this ages ago had we decided he wasn't worth meeting their valuation. We didn't and we've now taken a huge gamble.
I honestly can't believe Levy has allowed this to happen. What is he doing leaving it so late, why? Redknapp was totally right earlier in what he said.
If we were prepared to pay 23 million for another striker - strongly suggests we were aware we needed one, so where the hell is the plan B?
Lets be honest, getting Berahino in was absolutely vital - or another forward with similar qualities. But its the same obsession with brinkmanship, transfer chicken with the deadline approaching, and trying to get one over on your adversary - Peace in this instance.
Surely the need to get a forward in, and the bigger picture, should take priority.
Now we've waited until the deadline to pass judgement, like quite a few insisted we do even though long experience tells us what's more likely to happen, and there you have it.

More angry about the CDM than striker.....unacceptable. What exactly do they see when they watch us in the pitch?
Still semi-pleased that we haven't gone all scattergun again, no point signing dross.

Not getting Berahino - fine. Throwing a public hissy fit isnt what I want from a spurs player. Chances are he will do the same to us when RM comes knocking.
Not getting rid of Ade and still not having a DM in the squad - that is catastrophic.

The 5m + add-ons wasn't true apparently.The lot of you who are moaning about Levy need to fucking man up and have the strength of your convictions. More than once there's been a massive fallout against chrome dome when the window closes and you all give it large for a day or so then vanish leaving just a handful of hardy souls battling the BSoDL in the Levy thread in Spurs Chat. So just for once, get in there and give it some. And keep giving it some. And then carry on some more. Nothing will change until its realised that more and more people are turning. 5m plus add ons? ****.
Ahhhhhhhhhh! I feel better now.
I didn't mean any of it really
Edit- No I'm not excusing Levy I'm just as angry as the rest of you.

Triple deal inbound. Barton, Nolan and Berbatov. BnB
Such a disappointing end to the window. We were 2 signings away from having a good squad to compete in several competitions. We are going to struggle this season, the team is going to be very tired.

Maybe this is a knee jerk reaction, but it feels like a group of supporters who weren't necessarily against Levy, have finally lost the plot with him.
I wonder what the reaction will be like in the coming weeks? Depends on results really, but he's not very likeable right now

Off the pitch new training ground and possible stadium(I'll believe it when I see it) levy is great, on the pitch,mangers, transfers etc he's been fucking useless I honestly can't believe we now go until January with 1 striker, don't give me this son/n'jie & Chadli can't play up to bull-shit.
As said above we're a Kane injury from being royally fucked not to mention the fact there's now huge pressure on him and even if he stay fit he'll be run into the ground.
For leaving things late year after year and fucking up our starts to the season and then leaving poor manages to pick up the mess #LEVYOUT.
I'm furious!!! Absolutely furious this has happened but the saddest thing of all it doesn't surprise me!

I really cannot believe this?
We've basically thrown away any chances we had of winning a trophy this season. Who plays in Europa/LC/FA?
