People actually think that Spurs make or delay announcements or sign players to distract\placate fans?

WOW
Get over yourselves
If you think a company worth over $1bn wouldn't take marketing or commercial ideas into account when making decisions, and consider how the timing of their announcements would best suit the company, you're a very naive man.

Feel so conned when I take a step back.

We've brought in 3 senior players off the back of our best season in decades in which we achieved CL football - and you could argue not one of would get into our strongest eleven.

Paint it how you want, that's pretty shit.
We also didn't lose a single starting XI player from our best season in decades either.

Paint it how you want, but everyone was happy when JJ was saying our business was done back in July after signing VW, VJ, and GKN. And then you all got carried away again with false dawns and random press links...

Feel for N'koudou, could be the worst received transfer announcement in our history, and for all we know he could turn out to be a handy little player for us...

Could be. Could also be a bit crap. We're all pinning our hopes on him being a difference maker, but we have no idea.

"timing of their announcements would best suit the company" - NOT best suit the Fans on SC or Twitter having an eppy.
Who's Naive?

You would have said same shit start of last season I bet! Variables are how others perform in league.

I don't think anyone at that time thought almost all the depth we had with players like Chadli, Bentaleb, and Mason (all squad players but at least depth options in case of injuries) would be sold off and not replaced.

At this point only players you can sign are:

Players who are not wanted by a club - aside from Isco can't think of anyone who fits this and is good enough for us.

Youth players from lower leagues - got enough prospects at club already.

We find player who isn't necessarily available but we pay enough to force club to sell - obviously we're not doing that.

It's over.
Or players that you have been working on for the last couple of weeks, despite the fact that some nobodies on some Internet forum haven't been told about it?

I think you're talking for a minority.

Our XI is far from perfect and we should be striving to improve it or at least sign someone who is on parity... Not add depth.

Like I said other day, we could have made our signings if we finished 7th.

I wanted to see real ambition to sign a top tier player, not half arsed attempts to appease us.
