I love your positivity, honestly do but when you start charging the most expensive season tickets in the world, I repeat in the world, do you not by default increase expectations? Is playing good football and hovering around the top 6 enough?

Also, what is the long term effect of this window? Manager and players not as hungry for success because the chairman clearly isn't. Manager gets pissed off as he has to compete against others that are strengthening all the time and looks elsewhere. Players likewise.
I'm starting to think that @BringBack_leGin is our version of that bloke Ty who stars on Arsenal TV. He's drinking pina colada's out of his Spurs travel mug on the beach right now, Spurs headphones on typing away in the sunshine :cautious:

Would love to know the real reason we haven't signed anyone.

I do think the devil's in the detail.

Difference between saying to Poch "we will sign players" and "we will sign [the] players [you want] [provided that you accept our funds are slightly restricted, and that you are aware we will not overpay]". Can see him signing up on the basis of the latter, even if it's summarised as the former.

You're all a bunch of nuances.

Maybe his list would be longer if our scouts did their job??? If other, smaller clubs around Europe can unearth the next gems when they only cost 5-10m, why can't we? It's not always about the finished article.

Because we already have an academy and Poch only wants first team players?

I know it's over
And it never really began
But in my heart it was so real....
