Not sure what I'm more sick of this transfer window, Levy or Uber.

Yip that Markovic was a star as was the rest of DC's buys for Liverpool. Seriously, go look at his record at Liverfool, he rode them hard and left them bleeding & useless

From the BBC
Spurs’ failure to sign another striker or an experienced midfielder signals a deplorable lack of ambition that could stifle the development of a young squad full of potential and leaves us vulnerable to competitors. The right men in these two positions could make a significant difference but chairman Daniel Levy, the so-called shrewd negotiator, catastrophically misjudged a market flush with TV cash. Teams no longer have to cave in because they just don’t need the money. Another window, yet another missed opportunity. Today’s desperate Berahino or bust shambles obscures concerns that Spurs’ overhaul of scouting and recruitment failed to find alternatives. The club site’s pathetic attempt to solve the problem by reclassifying Heung-Min Son as a striker did not play well with frustrated and furious fans. Now let’s get behind the team. COYS

If one club was going to do it, it was always likely to be the one that in the last several years once had 8 central midfielders and on another occasion 5 RBs. The summer TW of 2009 also seemed to be advance preparation for this day.

So glad it's over. Looking forward to seeing the new signings (Son) but very disappointed in our behaviour. I have loved Spurs for 40 years and am a bit embarrassed by the lack of dignity shown this past few weeks by the people currently steering the Club that belongs to us. Thanks to all on here that have been entertaining and informative. Not looking forward to January now, more of the same I presume.

well that lack of anything took me by surprise.
Levy is on a 50/50 with this BsoDL (?) right now... Though he won't give a tuppence. Literally.

100% agree .. We need to take Adebayor back in (as much as I dislike that) ...actually he has an ego so the calvary tag might motivate him again. Otherwise like you say it's Berbatov or change tactics.

Its been a long and tiring weekend (summer actually). Im done for a while guys as I cant bare the frustration that's being released at the moment (which I fully support BTW). Perhaps ill go and talk to the wife for a bit and who knows I might Low ball her Levy style into giving me a blow job. See you all bright and early in the free contract players thread tomorrow. 
Remember lads, we are the famous Tottenham and To Dare is probably too expensive. Well at least we tried hey Ed, I mean Daniel.

Once they fully mobilise, this will all pretty soon be turned around to an act of genius
Yes I agree but he isn't giving money out for transfers thats clear. We are obviously having to be self sufficient in operating costs.

Would you prefer it if we only targeted players that mid-table teams would look at? Players that United, Chelsea, Arsenal, or Liverpool wouldn't go near? The best way for us to progress is to try and buy talented youngsters who are ready for first team football. It's not the scouting system that is at fault it's the way we bid for players.

Relax its only until January.
For what its worth I was happy with our window last week when I thought the Berahino deal was dead, that might be back on again was a bonus, it's a shame it didn't happen yet but I can live quite happily with what we have done.

We have a better first XI than we did before we played Man Utd.
We have a few EL and COC matches between now and January but not so many that HK will be that knackered if he has to play them all in addition to PL games, which he won't in any case.
We could have signed Berahino and he could have got injured in his first game.
HK may go the season without an injury.
The pace we have added to the team might mean we finally play Poch's system properly and make DM a less important position / one than Dier can fill exactly as asked.
In short, anything could happen. I'm deferring judgment and not blaming anyone for anything until I see us in a worse position than we are now
