Bentancur and Kulusevski say hi, so does Pedro Porro.

 

[Russ1201]

Levy houdini survives again!

 

[DannyNZ]

Sounds like he just wants to retire.

 

[RobjDerby]

What are the odds on Romero NOT getting a red card or accumulating yellows for a ban?

Guaranteed long term injury during this international break .

 

[olliec]

He’s messed around all window and everyone was saying he was waiting for today to ship out our non-HG players. He managed nothing on that front.

He’s had multiple players offered today but didn’t like the deals.

He pulled the plug on other details last minute after they were all agreed.

We don’t have any CBs capable of stepping into the system.

We’re going to have to not name several players in the squad, further “depreciating” those assets.

It’s all a mess and it’s all on Levy.

Sounds about right and typical levy.

And Sanchez was fine with VDV on opening day. The issue is both being out for an extended period of time.

 

[Ginola+Tonic]

I’m also happy we’ve got 2 new signings sorted early for next summer in Porro and Kulusevski

 

[RobjDerby]

Utd get offers for Greenwood. Yet we can’t shift out Davies. Dier, PEH, Sanchez or Tanguy.

Loan offers, just like we got for Reggy, Tanganga...

Dav can cover Romero if Biss/Maddison/Bents are in midfield.

I'm more worried about the left side of VDV goes down tbh.

 

[Led Revolver]

The fact that we are hanging out the Johnson deal just makes me fucking angry… it’s a complete piss take!

Ben Davies would be fine tbh. Just ideally not for too long.

Stephen Caulkers available in a free

The biggest disappoint for me is on the outs. Levy has failed miserably here. We just keep kicking the can down the road until these players are out of contract and go for nothing. Tanguy, Dier and Lloris must be costing us £15-16m to not play a minute this season.

What do you want him to do? Lloris rejected 335 offers. Ndombele rejected numerous offers. Fulham bid 30M for PEH and PEH rejected. Dier had several offers that he rejected.

Ultimately he rejected a 9M offer on Davinson today as we couldn’t get a replacement lined up. Dav is much better than having Dier as our 3rd CB.

It’s appalling we didn’t spend some of the Kane $ on a real 3rd CB, but I don’t think you can crush Levy over outgoing. He can’t make them leave.

 

[Whazam]

Wasn't that a fun day guys, eh? Felt like an old school deadline day with some crazy rumours and deals being worked on to the very end. Too bad the Højbjerg domino didn't happen to make it even more exciting, right? And we even got one deal over the line this time, love it!

And we managed to get several crucial deals done earlier in the window as well, along with getting some fantastic, younger prospects in. The Ange-rebuild is in full motion already, fantastic!

What a transfer window! Really looking forward to this season. Feel really good about it! How about you guys?

 

[SpringHeeledJim]

Since last season.......we've improved our GK,LB,LCB,AM and arguably RMF positions. Added to that the reintegration of a superb central midfielder and a fantastic young CM talent also. Most importantly we've also drastically improved our manager. Someone who wants to be here and "gets Spurs"

Yes,Kane has gone but we are improving and on the right path. We're buying hungry, young and ambitious players who want to play for us.

I'm certainly not a Levy apologist and I'm ever truly satisfied but I can't understand this negativity from alot of the fans

But apart from that

We got offers on them all aside from Davies who has never been for sale. They just didn't want to take the options.

Next Summer “we need to sell, before we buy”
