Really agree with this entry, this window IS different in that all the positions we know are weak are being worked on. Even if, for what ever reason, not every one of these is covered in this window at least we know that the problem has been identified and will get sorted. Also VERY optimistic for the future, what with the facilities already built, the new stadium, the cash that this will realise through naming rights, sponsorship etc. and not least because of this group of young talented players who will only get better and gel into the type of team we will love watching. COYSI wish I could like this and Trix's post 1000x, hit the nail on the head. People want to act like we are the only club who bought "flops", see Cuadrado, Falcao (so far) etc etc. We used the Bale money and took a punt on some established players (Soldado) and some exciting talent (Lamela). This is obviously not our standard SOP, but we got the cash influx and decided to go for it. It didn't work out unfortunately. There are so many massive things on the horizon for our club. We have an amazing new stadium coming, a super lucrative deal with the largest sport in the United States, and signing Son will most likely see us get massive support and probably some deals (training kit, stadium naming rights etc) with major South Korean corporations.
The support for Poch from Levy/ownership and the revamping of our scouting system with Paul Mitchell, as well as the a major focus on our youth development, means we are planning for the future. I'm very excited to see where our clubs goes in the next 5 years as I think they are absolutely critical to our long term success. Maybe I am less jaded than some of you since I have only been following Spurs since 2010 but I like the direction we are moving and very much look forward to the future.
