Seem to lack any forward planning and any ambition. Considering the time limit, not enough was done soon enough and there's really no excuse for that....

This years Bake Off contestants were shite at making ginger bread.
Right. Cause who wouldn't want to leave Real to play for us.

I've just skimmed through about 22 pages of this thread in about 53 seconds and I'm guessing I've missed no less action than you planks that have read every word.

Love you all.

Well I suppose this window could have gone worse. Looking forward to seeing how the team plays this season, though a bit worried about getting embarrassed in the CL.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Chadli and Mason just did not seem up for it last season. I would rather pin my hope's on the unknown. Kane came good, and Alli last season. Time for another gem to shine..

Kane came good season before last and Alli was always very highly rated before we signed him. But i take your point.

Depends, did you manage to catch yankspurs saying we're done? That was worth the wait

Putting offers for players on the last day of the transfer window is bluff and bluster from the club to make the fans think we have ambition.

We needed more creativity and imo we have not addressed that need.

A lot of people still really don't understand Poch and the project

He doesn't like signing ready-made solutions. He likes improving players and the unit through coaching. That's his bag, and that's why him and Levy are on the same page.

Making John McDermott our DoF was a big sign we'd follow the Winks/Onomah/Edwards/2CV route

Guess that's why Poch been reported to spend hours and days trying to convince Isco to come here?

Please tell us which one of

Lloris
Walker
Alderweireld
Vertonghen
Rose
Dier
Dembele
Lamela
Ali
Eriksen
Kane

You wanted to upgrade this summer?

You know as well as I do that a decent Attacking Midfielder, such as Isco or the several others mentioned over the past weeks, would have provided much needed competition and respite for Eriksen.

I love Eriksen but if he's off his game we're nowhere near as fluid.

We spend all year stating how it will be nice to have a quiet window where we only bring in a couple of players and let the TEAM grow together rather than a mass influx of players.....

Then deadline day gets closer and a lot of people don't have the balls to stick by their word and actually stick with what we have!!

We have made 3 signings who could all be regarded as guaranteed starters by this time next year (just like Ali....he was seen as work in progress for a few years, fast forward 3 months and he's a starter!)

Let's just see how it pans out! It's all a gamble even if you go and spend £300 mil
