I think I’ll join you. A window where we shifted a lot of older/unwanted players and signed a lot of promise sounds a lot better summarised that way without digging too deep into the hows, the whys and the d’you mind if we don’ts that *always* seem to come up. We’re not alone in this, of course (City and Liverpool have signed one player each, I think, albeit from better starting positions!) but getting too caught up in all the rumours just makes it seem a bit disappointing. And as for the latest about Levy, well… It’s all already been said!
A fair window, could be very good in hindsight or could be poor, apparently too much to get done in one window to *really* update the squad, and the same old issue about how to bring in a worthwhile backup/alternative to Kane. I’ll give the last few hours a swerve and just enjoy being top for a couple of weeks.
I agree with you to some extent. But I think Spurs fans could deal with Lloris in and have Hart as back up for another year.
The fact of the matter is, we are not replacing 22 goals from last season. That is huge!
I can deal with no midfielder to replace Sissoko but in attack, its absolutely unacceptable.

There hasn’t been a decent one for years.

Wasn't it 7 points? With us losing more than that from winning positions over the season?
Hardly 'well behind'.

Yes last season centred on just two players having exceptional seasons. No guarantee they do that again. Do you realise how crazy it is to rely on just two main goalscorers and not pad the rest of the squad out with goalscorers? And no I won't get over my dislike of the lack of ambition shown by Levy on the pitch.

It was repeated numerous times by lots of people too. I still can’t believe we are stupid enough not to bring another striker in.
Lets be honest start of summer when we got Doc, Regi, PEH, Bale, Vinicus etc we all said what a brilliant window....

If we had Traore money we have money to loan a striker at least surely?

We got priced out of the two main targets? Wasn't much else left after that in reality.

Things change. Possible they change again before the end of the day.

Just when I thought I was out... ?
you think 11 goals hard to replace, Bale only used us as stepping stone to be fit for European. If our midfield and especially defence is sorted 11 goals going to be meaningles.

What happened was those strikers prices went to stupid levels, if ITK and reports are to be believed.
Not to mention Inter getting a shock bid by Chelsea for Lukaku meaning they no longer needed to shift Martinez.
