so we have defo signed Frances No 1 and the Ajax captain, plus three other quality players and we've faiiled and Levy is the devil? My word.......
I think its more the fact we've lost 3 of the best players we've had in the last 20 years and haven't replaced two of them like for like

Also its expectation, ITK's get everyone's expectations up above our station. Plus its frustrating watching the likes of Chelsea and Man City spending the way they do.

Its not a bad window, but Levy failed to replace Luka and he failed to bring in a second top class striker

If we don't end up with another creative player I don't get why we sold VDV unless he wanted out..

Goakeeper - Upgraded
Defence - Upgraded
Midfield - Weakened
Attack - Standstill, maybe slightly weakened in depth.

I guess we should be happy, but knowing we've sold two of our three best players and that Ledley King retired I'm feeling very pessimistic.

AVB cannot possibly be happy with this.

what I can't understand is, if we knew we couldn't get Moutinho, why didn't we get a plan B? Even Levy could have penny pinched by trying to get a loan deal for a RM player :unsure:

Can we just have a moment of reflection for the last ever deadline day outside Spurs Lodge? You'll need an extremely long lens to spy transfer targets milling around in the Bulls Cross car park.

Good signings all of them but we havent replaced Modric and VDV sufficiently. Moutinho was the one we needed, think we are left with a big piece of the jigsaw missing.

I see signings as something to kind of fill me with excitement... Dempsey wow. It. Does. Not.

i BET THE PAPERWORK IS IN. We agreed the fee (supposedly) which means the paperwork will have gone through subject to 'medical' the terms will be discussed now. If the terms arent met in the next few hours then simply we cite medical as not being passed etc

I honestly think people need to get a grip!!

Say we signed Moutinho and Lloris today. the only players with a history of getting in the double figures of goals would be Adebayor, Defoe, Bale, (verts) and potential of Sig if he plays! Mouts wouldnt have got more than 5 goals, yes he would have created and is a wicked player but we have signed a SOLID proven player in Dempsey who has a history of getting 10-20 goals a year and can play up top!!! and nothing is saying we cant go back for mourts in Jan!! Levi has done well

==============Lloris==============
Walker=====Verts======Kaboul/Gallas===BAE
============Parker/Sandro===========
=================Dembele=========
===========Sig/Dempsey============
Lennon========================Bale
============Adebayor=============

Its a good team and we forget that Ade is a perm transfer!!! Damiao and Mourts in Jan and we sorted.

We are not in the Champions League but have still done sooo well in this window!!
What happens when Bale or Lennon get injured?

I'll lose this post in the overall thread. Dembele ran the show at OT last week with a substantially worse team than we have. How many times has Luka done that? Taken a game a grabbed it by the balls for 90 minutes?

Granted the guy is a wizzard on the ball, but I think we've signed a monster. Have a little faith. COYS

Never thought about it like that, it's interesting. That extra bit of control / domination in games is something we need down the stretch, that's what kept us out of 3rd last season, COYS

It may not have come up to expectations (unrealistic?) but it's certainly not all bad.

Modric and VDV wanted to go, they weren't pushed out by any means. Yes, we'll miss them but I think that we have a pretty decent squad overall and there may still be more news coming through in the next few hours.

Another transfer window at spurs I think this is what it would feel like to pull a stunning bird but not be sure that she didn't have a dick
