But we were making bids well after what Ben said...
But none were what Peace asked for so why did we bother :/

A decent window overall. Kept our best players, added much needed pace to our attack and strengthened the defence. Disappointing that we didn't sign a defensive mid or back up striker but I would rather sign no one at all than sign substandard back ups or pay massively over the odds for average players.
With regards to the striker issue both Son and Njie are strikers who have pace so have been pushed out wide so we do have options to rotate with Kane.
Absolutely ridiculous from any point of view. What sort of character walks away when some things don't go as they want? Spolit kids that take their ball home when they're losing. It would be bad for him, his career, the club, the players and the rest of the management team.If I was Poch I would walk. He said it was obvious we needed a striker. I would be f img furious and wouldn't blame him if he just a walked. Levy is a complete tool
Imposter!Thank you for a reasoned response to the window. I completely agree.
It's not.
With all due respect to them all we never hear from them for a good while after the window closes
Firstly, 'filling in' is wholly unacceptable. It makes us out to be a joke of a club. 'Building for the future'. Let me say this, when the big offers come in for Hugo, Bentaleb, Kane et al, they're gone. We were building for the future with Bale, Modric, etc.I was pissed off earlier but having stepped back I think we've got some quality players obviously light up front but there must be a plan for Europa and carling cup games to rest Harry or he will burn out, njie, son and possibly Chadli will have to fill in for those games, we basically played last season with one up front anyway as the other 2 were fuck all use to us, we are clearly building for the future and that may come at a price, frustrating but this looks like how it's gonna pan out for the foreseeable!
He won't get the time, not because of Levy though.
Because of us the Spurs support, we have a culture, we have expectations about the football we play.
Poch doesn't fit.
We all hide behind Levy and blame him for being trigger happy, but apart from 1 (Jol) we hounded out the managers.
Seriously.. our owner is a billionar who sits on a yacht in a tax haven.. he doesn't love this club like we do & he sure as hell doesn't want what's best for the fans or the club.. he has built a training complex & future stadium with borrowed money & once stadium is done he will sell for a massive profit.. Enic = investment firmI think we are seriously skint, I can't explain this window otherwise. Obviously the funding new stadium is effecting our spending to a much larger extent than Levy wants to let on.
All I know is that @Trix neg repped me a few days back when I question Levy's approach and told me "lessons have been learned". So, I don't know what to think anymore. Have the lessons be learned? If I say that I don't think Levy has learned lessons will the mods regard that as a criticism of Trix?
I don't know. What I do feel though is that Levy is taking the piss. I think he is hiding behind the good financials, training ground and stadium deal and, as a result, can phone it in for a few years until the club is either sold or can get a large cash intake. I think that is disrespectful to the fans....and particularly to regularly paying fans like myself.
Not trying to criticise Trix, rather just angry at Levy. Hope the mods can maybe just allow this one off post of grumbling now that the window is shut.

Real winners cope with this sort of shit and come out on top. He's a football coach/manager not some sort of prima donna. I would fully expect Levy to make some sort of private apology about fucking up the Berahino deal but "walk away" - no chance.
He's hardly Adebayor though, is he? I reckon that one thing he will always do is put in 100% effort.He's got no-one to keep him on his toes.
Not saying he's going to be out of form all season but hardly started well and he can play how he wants knowing he won't have any threat to his place.
Competition for places is vital
I think Levy deserves all the criticism which will come his way. He has to learn that deal making is about human relationships, and yes those messy feelings he doesn't really like too. Deals are about more than just pounds and pence.
Worse than that though he's failed even by his own measure, because I think we couldn't get it across the line because Levy let his emotion get the better of him. When you gamble and wait this late you have to accept that sometimes you lose ; then what do you do? You swallow your pride is what, accept you lost and pay the surcharge. Levy couldn't, so he failed.
Or rather he doubled down on his gamble, betting the season on a side with obvious weak points and in a league where the middle and lower level clubs are stronger than ever. Perhaps he'll win that gamble, but it's reckless, irrational, and weak from Levy. All the things he prides himself that he's not!
