It isn't though really. Gio to come in... Er... Can't rule Kane in... Can't count on Ndombele... Who else to come in... Aurier?
Lloris, Romero (hopefully) and you have to class both Kane and Ndombele as first team. If we don’t include Kane then we include £150m of first team replacements.

I mean, people are entitled to be worried because by then our season could be over in terms of Top 4 at least, let alone more than that. But there's little to be done about it.

We need to be realistic, this squad is looking like how it was before Poch, unfit and off the pace. Nuno needs a season. We start playing by October we get top 6. This is the biggest transition season we have had because Nuno needs to get to UCL ASAP

Remember Poch's first Spurs team:

Lloris
Naughton-Kaboul-Dier-Rose
Bentaleb-Capoue
Eriksen-Lamela-Lennon
Adebayor

It's similarly early days for Nuno's Spurs - who I'd actually argue are coming in from a season with an even worse manager than Tactics Tim. Time will judge.

Yep. Then it's a matter of trying to stay in the cups and in touch in the league until they're arrived and ready.
Exactly. I mean we will require 4-5 in (not including Romero) before the deadline. Otherwise we are looking at mid-table mediocrity.

Shame Rodon didn’t get a half. Not keen on Tanganga lining up against City

Everyone needs to stop judging so much.

Its a friendly, hence Chelsea pulling their entire team off after 60 minutes.

We have a lot of players missing and hopefully some good signings on the way.

This negativity is killing us.

We are 11 days away from our opening game and the only changes so far are a goalkeeper and a 19 year old winger.

Once again we will go into the season massively under-cooked and without filling the gaps that even the most stupid of fans can see in our squad.

Between now and the City game we might sign players but they won't be full integrated to the squad with a full understand of how Nuno wants the team to perform.

Sorry SD, that's not fair mate. Skipp looked off the pace on more than a few occasions earlier in the game which is why people were commenting. Improved as the game has gone on though tbf.

That's completely fair, Kane and Kovacic were completely dominant, it's little wonder why he couldn't get into the game.

He's looked better since they've gone off, can't be a coincidence.

Dele's pace and movement is just painful to watch. Like watching someone at a vets game coming back from a long term injury
