Yeah I didn't see you posting when we bought ndombele. Boohoo.
So you are saying because we signed ndombele, this window will have lived up to the big build up, no matter what happens in the remainder of the window?

What big build up? If you take everything with a pinch of salt what would what anything anyone else says/mentions matter to someone like you? What have we fallen short of?So you are saying because we signed ndombele this window will have lived up to the big build up no matter what happens ?

For future windows it is important to take everything you hear with a pinch of salt, as spurs fans we are used to the big build up but ultimately fall short, harsh but true.
Some of the panic is unreal.
No news doesn't necessarily mean bad news. Plus a good performance last night. I don't get it. Hopefully GLC happens but for me the board have dealt with most obvious gaping hole in our squad with probably the best player we could have possibly signed in that position. I think some patience is required here.
You said:I was replying to a poster who clearly feels let down after hearing positive noises throughout the summer, hence why i said its important to take things with a pinch of salt so you don't feel too let down when it comes to expectations vs reality ...
BORING FINANCE COMMENT BELOW:
The big difference with selling an "normal" asset and selling something on trade credit is that the credit is not from the bank, but is from the seller.
In the case of your house, you put it on the market for 325k and someone offers 290k, that is real money at todays value. If they had said that they will pay 325k but over ten years then you have to consider the fact that the value of money is always falling. The 32.5k you would get in year ten is actually only worth around 22.75k - this is why the structure of the deal is so vital and makes a seemingly simple negotiation difficult.
In your case (the house as an example) you would be better off accepting 290k now than 325 over ten years (works out around 247k at current inflation rates) .

What big build up?
Telling other people to use a pinch of salt then ask me about a big build up (no clue what big build up) bit of a contradiction in terms, isn't it?
Breaking a glass ceiling on a player that most seemed to suggest was Poch's number one target (no idea about the rest of the squad) is pretty big and would rank highly considering he was also purchased before preseason. If the goalposts are being moved on what is and isn't big, then I better review the terms ...
Nah, you contradicted yourself and now the only thing missing from the end of this statement is - 'I'd love to be wrong'The big build up as in all the positive noises about spending during the summer including levy himself who said now it's time to invest in the team. Like i said, me personally i take it with a pinch of salt but i can see where others are coming from in regards to a 'big build up', it doesn't affect me because i'm used to it.
Anyways we shall see what happens at the end of the window, all im saying is whilst i am not confident & take things as they come, i can see why others are getting frustrated
Yes take all the ITK with a pinch of salt as no expectation, no disappointment . However after last Summers transfer window people are entitled to a bit of bed-wetting when it goes all quiet on news of incomings. Rewind back a few weeks and the positivity was infectious on here. Now after some fannying about by Betis and Fulham we are reverting to type namely disappointed with a lot of talk and no action.
After what we have gone through transfer wise over last couple of years we can have a meltdown now and again as its the hope that kills you. Personally I think one part of the equation is holding everything up and if that an be solved then we will see a lot of movement. Whether that is GLC coming or Eriksen staying or going or even another transfer happening that we are not involved in which in turn gets things going I am not sure. But if it happens then things will move fairly quickly after that.

We've spent cash in this window - people's perception - obviously from what you're saying not yours, clearly, is misplaced then.
You're the one with all the 'pinches of salt' and 'not bothered' Obviously you are otherwise you wouldn't post.Okay, whatever makes you feel better, you're right im wrong
Of course not, clearly. But be up front with your manager and stick to it....surely thats the point?
Have a nice week!

Another day, another Vinny argument
I just wanted to see how the echo chamber that moves in these parts would react, it's good to know you're all singing from the same hymn sheet. Bit like the D&D forum. Humans are interesting, are they not?Blimey @Vinny_Sammways_left_peg, your general levels of optimism/pessimism within the Transfer Rumours sub-forums in the last 12 months has been more up and down than a nun on a cucumber patch.
