Depends how hard they tried. Half hearted efforts to keep fans happy don't count.

In regards to Chadli, Monday Pleaty said Chadli was finished at Spurs
. He said he had bad habits which could not be eradicated at his age in regards to his play and movement.

Last season was okay up until the last 5 games, where we were burnt out, and had suspensions.
And that was with us playing weaker line-ups in the cup competitions.
You'd think we actually want to win something this time around, or maybe get past the group stage of the CL.

Really, we get this faux shit every year and every year we fall for it.

ITK suggesting we have been trying hard for him all week and Levy himself flew over to Spain to try and convince the guy - I'd say that's trying pretty hard.

Didn't stop him scoring loads a year ago though...
Others have strengthened quite a bit. Top 4 revert will back to form. No way are we fonishing above arsenal as we never do. And United, Chelsea and City are all better than us.

What on earth makes you think they're trying to keep the fans happy? It's not a popularity contest...

It's incredible that anyone still thinks this stuff is real - news flash dude - we never tried to sign Isco

"Can't believe we're starting the season without a defensive midfielder. Yeah Dier's played there in pre-season, but he's hardly gonna do it all year is he? Our back-up centre-half as a defensive midfielder in a team that's supposed to challenge for the Top 4, we're a laughing stock. We'll finish below Palace and Stoke - just look at who they've signed".
I think that summarises the mood last year.
It also goes to show that most of you, including me, know absolutely fuck all.

Schneiderlin sounds a fanciful rumour. I'd take him at this point as I fear we are short on numbers with Bentaleb and Mason departing. We are struggling with adequate bench options. Poch is a great coach and develops youth but even he must see the need for experience here. With Champions League and with the top end of the league at its strongest we can't fall back immediately on youth as our first change.

I'm assuming you know this for fact.
I'm sure we'll still be trying at 10:59pm, clearly shows we've got a startegy

tbh we've done a piss poor job at strengthening a team that nearly won the league last year. And when you analyse strengthening you must look at the teams around you - would be silly not to judge what we have done/or haven't against out rivals.

It's a fact that is what ITK reported - sorry if that doesnt fit in with your negativity right now. (also please do not shoot the messenger who is just trying to stay positive)

Kane played every game, and he was often brilliant - but there were times when he was clearly cream crackered, and someone coming off the bench would have provided a new, better threat. That's before you even consider the possibility of using him alongside another striker, as Poch has been willing to do this season. We were lucky that Kane didn't get injured last season, but it didn't mean that having no one else wasn't an issue.
I do agree that we lack a bit of directness and width, and signing someone like Zaha (but ideally not fucking Zaha) would be a good thing in that respect...but the idea that we haven't significantly strengthened already is just obviously bollocks as far as I'm concerned. As with every transfer window, it's the hope - and the hype - that affects how people see the window; we whinge about the club leaving signings too late every window and not giving them the chance to bed in, but then when we get the big signings in early like we did with Wanyama and Janssen, we forget about them by the time deadline day comes around and get the hump because we're not buying more players.
