So, we signed three players, where does that put us in the running for the bet in the OP?

The missing ingredient for Spurs?

"I don't think that a few good games at Euro 2016 warrant the £30m fee that Moussa Sissoko has been valued at, certainly given the form that he showed for Newcastle last season.
"But what this Spurs side needs is pace and that is what he provides. He has the raw materials and Mauricio Pochettino will relish getting his hands on him. He could have a really good season there."

Just caught up with the thread.....that was a bit dramatic!
I'm one of those who was happy to get Sissoko so I'm pretty pleased, although you have to wonder why we didn't drop £30m odd on Mane if we were prepared to pay that as he's the better player for sure.
Although to be fair to Levy ( and I've been quite critical of him ) we hadn't agreed a lot of our sales out until end of the window and at least he seems to be backing the manager.
I don't really care what he cost as the market is crazy.
I still feel we are lacking guile and creativity and Eriksen basically has no competition, but Sissoko eases my fears about squad depth, gives us serious pace and fits with Poch's remit of versatile players.
Obviously like everyone else would have preferred Isco but like it or not we are a step
down from Real Madrid, even if we are in the CL.

Telegraph on Sissoko Deal :
"It is understood Tottenham’s change of heart came after Pochettino told Levy that he wanted Sissoko, no matter of the cost. The U-turn went against the favoured policy of both Pochettino and Levy not to spend more than £20m on players aged over 25, but it was agreed that 27-year-old Sissoko was the best player Spurs could get at such a late stage."

Well he doesn't rate us but then Merson probably believes we did nothing all day and then suddenly faxed an 11th hour offer matching Everton's just for shits 'n giggles.

Have we just signed the most expensive championship player in history? Hahaha
Now that's all done, let's get behind him and the team for the rest of the season. We undoubtably a stronger and better balanced squad than before the start of the window.

Poch wanted him and time to back his Manager
My brothers mate at work is a season ticket holder at NUFC and says that the fans up there can't wait to get rid of Sissoko.
On one of their forums they asked where you would like to see him at the end of the transfer window...

Let's hope the c.£10M sting in the tail will 'help' Levy move things along quicker at an earlier stage in future......

Anyone seen the Wilshere to Bournemouth footage? He looks like he's being spoon-fed turds by the ghost of Jim White

Personally I did not think much of the Fewnch team. Thought they were very lucky to get anywhere. Then again no team in the Euros were more than bang average
