How was it for you

JimmyG2 · Sep 1, 2017

The Transfer Window.
I'm not interested in your private lives. PM me if you desperately want to share.

(1) Not much spent if anything. Bean counters of the world rejoice
(2) Kept all key players (Except Kyle)
(3) Some useful back up and flexibility, up front and at the back.
(4) Three centre forwards are better than one.
(5) Probably sorted for Barkley for January.

6/10 fair? No pace or wide players but still.

9/10, as good as we could expect. We've swapped a 29 year old fast talented right back for a 24 year old fast talented right back who many seem to think is an upgrade in ability as well.

We have also added winners, people who have won trophies. Llorente is in my opinion the perfect player for us, I think it also gives us the options to play him at 9 and Kane at 10 for the odd game as well as being an impact sub and something different to what we have and to give Harry a break when needed.

And we've bought one of the best young defenders in world football who is fast and can play in a back 3 and as back up for Toby and Jan. By all accounts a really good strong personality as well.

And we kept all of our players apart from KW.

And we will probably get Barkley or at least have money for an addition or two in January. I'm not sure what people expect if they don't think this was a very good window. Very astute buys.

Like it.
You're obviously young keen and positive.
I am not. Curmudgeonly I think is the word.
Always liked Llorente and agree with your comments
Upping mine to 7/10 after your post

I think we've probably upgraded on Walker and pocketed 27m in the process.
We've picked up an extremely talented CB in Sanchez and a complete unknown quantity in Foyth.
We've got a genuine back up for Kane and a player who has seen it all in Llorente without upsetting the apple cart.
We've mugged Chelsea off for Llorente, probably Aurier, and almost certainly Barkley as well.
We beat mega bucks PSG to Foyth.
We've maintained the net spend goal yet again.
We've hung onto Rose and Dier and all the other star players.
We don't have the issues Arsenal and Liverpool will have with unhappy players (Sanchez and Coutinho).
We've come a close 2nd in the window to Man Utd who had the highest net spend.

I can live with it.

It was good baby.

This isn't the end, only the beginning. I'll tell you in May.

TBC/10

Shadydan · Sep 1, 2017

Content 7/10 for me.

I'm 48, been going since the 76 season in Division Two.

As I said you're young.
My first game was in the boys enclosure
for a reserve game in 1952.(9d. old money I think)
Can't remember the teams
but Spurs was definitely one of them.
Keep up the positivity.

8/10 imagine if we had of gotten Lucas (would give us a bit of pace but maybe not much else) and if Everton hadn't of been such wankers.

Martinhotspur · Sep 1, 2017

It's like every year we could have done better. 6/10. But there have been worse Windows

Lucas would have added more than just pace. I'd have loved us to sign him. A little bit of guile, craft, trickery and pace. Can flatter to deceive at times though.

I've watched a fair bit of PSG, and always found Lucas but be nothing more than average. A typical over-hyped Brazilian, that's come to Europe and not delivered much. The Brazlian Walcott, fast, scores some goals, but flatters to deceive mostly.

Maybe we will find out in January. PSG seem keen to off load and if Levy can strike a good deal I see no reason, he's only 25.

Kilkenny Cat · Sep 1, 2017

7/10. A pacy forward STILL the final piece in the jigsaw. If only we had Mané...

I'm a PSG Season Ticket holder* and I respectfully disagree.

*no I'm not.

Well it's moot anyway, because we were never going to sign him.

Im content.
Defence is largely sorted; CB reinforced, RB filled.
Midfield is the disappointment but we are well stocked in AMs and a steely ball-playing CM is a tall order.
Attack is good: Llorent compliments our squad.

As it stands, this squad doesn't isn't the best one in the league so I dont think we will win PL with it. However it's decent.

Walker isn't 29, I think he's 27-28 no?
