We all know how this is going to go.
We'll sign Nkoudou and probably someone for the U17s and that'll be it. Danny Boy will turn up for work tomorrow with a new diamond studded Prince Albert saying we really tried for Isco but Real wouldn't accept the fee in Somali shillings or some such excuse.
The difference from past windows is that i'm actually ok with this. Of course it would be nice to have a shiny new marquee signing but Poch has shown he can develop our youth players. If at the end of the season Winks, Onomah or Edwards have become 1st team regulars at the Alli level then Levy's parsimony in yet another window will quickly be forgotten.
Alli broke through. These players will be playing regardless as we have less senior squad depth. The kids will play if any of first 11 get injured. I'm all for youth and positivity but where's the competition for real 1st 11 places? 4 competitions this season too including CL.
Just opinion but latest itk with just GKN coming in and a 3rd choice goalie is really playing poker.
