Im not sure what I find more frustrating the lack of activity this window or the fans on here who refuse to accept how bad this window is...its like they dont grasp the concept of needing to constantly improve and add to the team.
To be fair, in the past when a player would get linked to Spurs they would end up with a nice fat new contract, now you just end up dying. Im really not surprised its been such a quiet summer.Dead!!!
Dead!!!
Im not sure what I find more frustrating the lack of activity this window or the fans on here who refuse to accept how bad this window is...its like they dont grasp the concept of needing to constantly improve and add to the team. If people are happy and content because we have a new stadium then great...but I want to win things and so far this team hasnt been capable of that so I believe we need new and quality additions.
Levy has just potentially destroyed the club for many years to come.
That's reasonable - although I can understand why people are getting a little bit flustered. It is brilliant being positive but it isn't looking good at the moment.There are some posters who perfectly understand the concept. They also understand to wait until the window has closed before judging it.

I cant remember which update or if it was in this thread but he def posted it because I replied saying something like 'how can we agree a fee and offer a better package than the chavs but now you are telling us that Levy is being tight again?'
nice bit of speculation there Fredo.People are holding onto the ITK info about Levy offering better wages too much. Apply a bit of salt. The only way it can go from offering a better package and Zaha wanting us to the deal being dead is because of Levy. I'm no ITK but it obviously seems like he tried to work around getting a cheap deal (because he knew we had the upper hand with the player wanting us) and Parish told him to fuck off. Simple as that.
I think you're seeing that as two extremes.
I think you'll be hard pressed to find any fan who's been happy with how we've handled this transfer window/how it's progressed.
That doesn't mean we're all pissed off and annoyed at the club. We're disappointed we haven't kicked on but we also know we've got a good team who we've been able to keep together.
I'm not gonna try and attempt to speak for every fan but sure, of course I'd fucking love for us to win stuff and I want us to win stuff and I don't think this window has put us in a good position to do that. It's not put us insanely back. We've not regressed, we've not fallen apart. We've tied down a couple of our best players to long term contracts and sounds like others will follow suit, we've got the new stadium. So there's some good with what the club has done. Transfer window is not good. No-one is disputing that, but that's only one aspect of the club. For all we know this team just kicks on next year and improves thanks to stability and being in our new home and then we look back on this Transfer Window and think we massively overreacted. We could also fail and look back at this missed opportunity. Any are possible.
Point is we don't know yet.
TLDR: Window = Bad but not like this whole summer has been Spurs on its deathbed
You seem to have missed the point.City wanted jorginho oh wait...
Utd wanted Toby oh wait...
Liverpool wanted fekir oh wait...
Or in reality...we dont win anything for another season.
There is a big chance we get left behind this season considering all the teams around us are strengthening and we are standing still. We have also been told that if Poch isnt backed then he could be off. Im not trying to over dramatise things but Im not going to sit here and pretend everything is ok either just because we have tied down players to contracts and got a new stadium.
