it makes you wander why we are keeping them on loan. Perhaps levy is saving them in case Poch comes back - you never know!At least we’ve still got Harry Winks.
Lmao.

Because he gets to be a free agent at 31 and sign a long term deal on the back of 6 months actually playing football rather than being 3rd option - or even 4th if he stayed for another 18 months.But why would Doherty agree to the contract termination? Unless he was going to get the remaining 18 months of his contract paid up front to do so.
That doesn’t seem a considered, financially viable decision to me from the clubs POV as we’d be spending the same amount on his wages but also losing a potential transfer fee.

Yup. It's a combination of most of Europe being skint, the players not impressing when in the shop window, and more than likely us holding out for too much.Because nobody wants to buy them
At least not for what Levy wants. The best way forward for a lot of that driftwood is to hopefully use them as leverage for future purchases. EG: Let's say Danjuma does well and we want to keep him. Villereal wants to keep Lo Celso. It sorta nets out to zero.Because nobody wants to buy them
Why's that? Are you a big fan of his?You want to sack Paratici?
The mind truly boggles at the thought process.
That saying, he's brought us from a club that everyone thought was irrelevant, in the small stadium albeit iconic for Spurs supporters, to a club in regular European football recently, to the best stadium in possibly world football, with a world Class manager who previously wouldn't have looked a team like Tottenham, well positioned in the PL still in the CL and domestic cup..... I get this window wasn't what everyone wanted but ffs we've got our main transfer target we wanted and didn't waste money on a CB we maybe didn't want in June.Thanks Mr Levy. One trophy in all these years is forgiven and forgotten. You’ve bought a player I hadn’t heard of weeks ago with the maximum distraction of deadline day drama and last 10 minutes reveal. I hope you’ve got a few quid left over to get yourself something nice.
Now, financial results and season ticket renewals are due, right?
Shame we couldn't have started that on Jan 1st so there was time. Oh well, next window....We tried for a young British CB in the last few days of the transfer window and talks were advanced. However the selling club were unable to find an adequate replacement in time so opted against selling in the January window. We may go back in for him in the summer, although other targets are likely to become available in the summer window who weren’t available in the Jan window.

Tack. PLS.Come on lads I'm all for knocking levy and club strategy but least releasing Doherty actually solves an issue. For too long we have accused levy of hanging on to players for too long etc I'm glad we've gotten rid of a player that isn't good enough for us and no one was going to buy from us.
That is a change in tact from us which I hope continues on. Too many below average players in our squad, need to ship them out any way we can.

Thanks for this. Another reason that last-minute deals aren't the best of ideas.We tried for a young British CB in the last few days of the transfer window and talks were advanced.

PS.
I want new owners too but not everything the baldy bastard has done is bad, he's put us in a place we're we can at least competitive and be in a position were people with money might want to buy the club!
Me too. I’m concerned that so many members of this forum took their eyes off the main issues with the Doherty announcement in that we didn’t sign a CB still and allegedly stop trying for several possible deals because we weren’t sure we could do any more loans (whether those loans would have been good for us is unknown).Did anyone seriously think we'd get a fee for Doherty in the summer? At 31, on probably un-matchable wages, and with a year left on his deal?
I'm glad he's gone. Less to worry about in the summer.
Also, it's hilarious to step out of the echo chamber of perpetually online Spurs supporters, where most I've talked to are happy with the window and feel better about this season's prospects ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
