Being mischievous but with Yedlin out for £5m and Chadli for £13m, the potential of Mason for £10m and others we are creeping up towards zero net spend...

You're forgetting Pritchard and any loan fees we might be receiving, in addition to the townsend cash from January.

Really concerned how weak we are making our squad, our bench is so weak and yes we have Dembele to come back and potentially Nkoudou when that is done (I bet it will be done on deadline day so Levy can say he done business!) yet we are selling our squad, I know we have a stadium to build but I am sure Levy said it wouldn't effect the buying power, and people who believe Poch when he says we have a squad he is happy with, you must be kidding he is just spinning words for Levy and he wont stick around if this continues, why would he! we really should have pushed on this summer with the extra income from TV and Champions League, seriously look at the money being spent elsewhere yet we seem skint and only want to make profits.... at least when the lot down the road built their new stadium they maintained a solid squad and still won things, we are just getting rid of all our depth, players I agree should be moved on but we need replacements. we need at least 4 in (inc Nkoudo and GK) so 2 more in 3 days which is never gonna happen.

I fear for us this year, I really do and think we will have a year off Europe next year.

You have to wonder about our showing in the CL this year if our current league form is anything to go by, cant see us getting out of the group or getting into it next year either.

Not even 24 hours of unrealistic optimism this year!

Be realistic people. Until that stadium is paid for we won't be spending any money. We just have to hope we don't fall off a cliff in the meantime.

I'm wandering why we're keeping Mitchell on for a few more months if we're not intending to sign players? There's also the comments made by Poch that suggests we have something brewing! Surely Levy isn't going to do a 2008!and leave us short of players!

I imagine we are just being tough and making him see out his contract as he wants to leave? Stops him buying elsewhere? These targets should have been identified earlier in the summer

You're forgetting Pritchard and Townsend fee's. Also potential loan fee for Bentaleb and money for yahaya

We're undefeated, 5/9 and because we've not splurged £50m on a player our season's over. If I believed in Jesus he'd be weeping right now.

We've addressed the gaping wholes in our squad ITK and media still linking us with players, so we're obviously still looking. We've the best manager since, I don't know when and if we can find a player he wants, who wants to come to us Levy will open the cheque book at a reasonable price.

It's not fucking rocket science, Isco would be awesome, so would Rodriguez one of them (it looks likely) won't make RM's CL squad so will probably be off, whether they come to Spurs is another matter

We were never going to get relegated last year mate and yes it is only 3 games in but i have been seriously underwhelmed by what Ive seen thus far.
Im sure we Will settle down eventually but even this early Im looking at the two Manchester teams and both look good, and to think some on here actually thought We could win the title this year.
That of course wont happen nor will we be relegated instead a respectable 5th-7th seems right for us imo.

I wouldn't look at the league table until Christmas, I'm certain we'll be up there once we get Moussa back.
