Fill the position of pace? I didn't know there was such a thing. Most of our pace comes from the fullbacks anyway but people seem to overlook the pace of Aurier.
Fill the position with not just pace but also someone who's confident 1v1 of beating the defender when they're facing them up. Much similar to many of the names we've been linked with or itk were suggesting we were interested at one time or another. Just my opinion of what we need but it seems like poch wanted it also with all the itk

I think that is shocking. All ITK suggeted pace or a wide forward were a priority.

And we got a 32 year old, target man. Good player though Llorente is, i dont quite get that.

It's a bit of a fuck up if that's it. No getting away from that. No attacking player other than improved back up for Harry -- that can't be right.

Dissapointing that we didnt get the pacey forward that I feel we needed, it was the expectation that kills you but overall it was a positive window for me. The squad has been strengthened and some succession planning with Sanchez and Foyth undertaken.
Time to get behind the team now and hopeful for an exciting season. COYS

Sissoko as back up to Eriksen is incredible ? GKN as back up to Dele ? Lamela who isn't fit and nobody knows when he will be as back up to Son ? Bloody incredible ???

I really admire your optimism, can I have some of what you are on.
Also Dele is out first three CL games. If Eriksen, Alli, or Son get injured we are looking at Sisson starting every game. We also have very little depth to rotate and not burn out our starters. That's the issue a lot are concerned about. The defense looks great. Offense is very thin.

I disagree, we've kept everyone except Walker which is a massive plus for us - particularly when you see the mental sums of money that have been thrown about this window.

Is that really the best we can hope for? That our best players don't leave.

Happy with Llorente in but im thoroughly dissapointed with today's business really expected more no cover for Ali and Erkisen especially the champions league games without Ali. Overall a decent window but yet again feel really frustrated

I think the fitness of Lamela is very important. He's a quality player when on song, was one of our best before his injury, and could reasonably play in any of the 3 positions behind Kane which makes him really useful.

Get him and it's like a new signing. Don't get him back and I don't think the other backups are of the same quality...
