The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

[jpascavitz]

I’m properly fucked off with how this window has ended.

Meh agreed and disagree.

I'm waiting to see what happens with Lloris, Dier, and Tanguy (turkey?). If they all leave somehow than we had 9 outs. 1 of which was Kane and he didn't want to be here anymore.

Got some really good signings in van de Ven and Maddison. Johnson and Viccario are young with high upside. Then some promising youngsters.

I wanted us to get younger and trim the fat and I think we did that.

Obviously today stinks because I really thought we could accelerate the rebuild further through Sanchez/PEH out and Gallagher/HG CB in. But it didn't happen.

It always wasn't going to be done in one window and I really hope we have some injury luck with no extra comps this season really.

6/10 for me which I take as step in right direction after losing Kane. Could have been an 8/10 but think we could revisit a few of these targets in Jan!

Right I'm off to dream about a time when we didn't sell arguably our greatest ever player and didn't sign a replacement for him and where we didn't sign a player in the only position the manager publicly stated he wanted one in.
I look forward to this dream. Catch you all tomorrow when reality will hit

Romano says Chalobah staying at Chelsea. We were a bit too tentative.

So all the people happy with Levy and telling us to wait until the window closed…. Still happy?

 

[Mr Pink]

Weirdly coincidental how it takes so long to announce BJ lol

I'm sure they will find some more excuses for him.

They’ll come up with something

Happens every time.

Only Tottenham can sell its talismanic striker & maybe best ever player a month before the deadline & replace him with a winger as the only signing post sale leaving a need of…wait for it…a striker. Can’t help but laugh & admire the extreme incompetence. What a club. What. A. Club.

 

[Mr Pink]

Failing to secure another CB is absolute failure.

This lastminute.com approach fucks me off so much, there's no point even getting into it anymore.

 

[13VanDerBale13]

I love the age old tactic of leaving the one announcement to the last hour because we’ve failed in all other endeavours

Almost as if it happens every summer & people expect anything different

rome wasn't built in a day and it's 17 games til the next window
will fly by

Really smacks of poor planning, spent the window chasing CB shadows and ended up weakly grasping at straws.

Other than not getting rid of more of the unwanteds, it's a good start to the Ange era, sure. Although other league windows are still open and contracts could also be ended by mutual decision.

I never knew this type of person exists. Must have been in a coma since we signed VDV on deadline day

They’ll tell you ‘it can’t be done all in one summer’, then repeat the same every summer

I just don't believe anything is as simple, or black and white as you and the Levy outers would like to believe.

Same people every year!
