Absolutely! Plus until we reach 8th August, I think it’s safer to assume that Poch is keeping his cards close to his chest regarding signings. The ITK are treading carefully with leaked information, and you could suggest that Pochettino is doing the same.
I’ve no doubts that he is annoyed and frustrated as I’m sure he’d ideally like all of our key players in by now, so he can work in fitness and tactics ready for the upcoming season, but it looks like all Premier League teams and managers are in the same boat and players on the move will take their time, but ultimately prioritise a move to England before 8th August. Things are starting to move in the PL, and I’m sure the domino effect will take off properly with a week to go.
It’s ultimately down to Levy, but let’s follow the market as a whole until 8th August and assess properly after then. Bar Wan Bissaka, all of our targets are still obtainable up until this point.

It's difficult but half this forum was willing to accept Tielemans and we've ended up with Ndombele, so there's a bit of evidence to show that Poch digging in has yielded a positive result but it's incredibly frustrating transfer to transfer as a fan.

Really? After announcing record profits and a run to the champions league final, having spent no money for a year you need "evidence"?
If things were to remain as they are then......
Am i sick in the mind for almost wanting poch to walk just to teach levy a lesson?
I was loosing sleep over whether to renew my season ticket which cost 2200 and i decided not to and boy will i feel bad for those who have if things stay as they are on the transfer front.
Levy has lost me, its up to him to change that.

I know people will be happy if Eriksen and Alder stay when the first ball is kicked but let's make no mistake if we're not enjoying the transfer window this summer it will be hell on each if next season those 2 leave on a free and we don't have the resources to replace them because we didn't get anything for them. If they sign deals great but if they're not going to then we need to move them on ASAP.
And it's absolutely not the clubs fault that we are in this situation, it's the way that football is heading, players run down their contracts, the club have little say in it, you put an offer on the table and they don't sign and nobody is willing to offer any money for them.

I meant the backing of the manager in rebuilding the team.

It's a difficult situation. It might just be that Pochettino is perfectly capable of being flexible, but it is obviously his preference to secure targets 1 and 2. Accepting alternatives might present a sort of 'moral hazard' for Levy which can result in your Njies and Nkoudous etc as he has licence to piss about with top targets knowing Poch will accept less.
I think there needs to be a change in structure somewhere.

apparently he is part of the committee, but his job in that is to say I want him, him, him and him, then the rest is down to Levy. if Levy can't get him, he offers him a plan B, but after our history of moving on plan B's and overloading the squad, looks like it has changed Poch to a plan A or nothing man.
he then goes and does his job of coaching and hopes the phone rings with a "we got him".

What I am saying is that if Poch is part of the transfer committee, he wouldn't be in the position of having to "turn down players" as previously suggested by ITKs in here. He wouldn't turn down players he has been a part of scouting/suggesting to the rest of the team, would he? Which is why people, including me, can see why Poch would be upset by the recent years of failures in the market by Levy, and in the end be the reason why he decides enough is enough.

Well I wish I lived closer to London as I would have snapped your hand off.
You are entitled to your own opinions and Levy is far from perfect, but fuck me, if you can’t see that this is the greatest time to be A Spurs fan for several decades then I wonder what you want from this club. We could still get a couple of decent signings in and potentially challenge for the title.
We are hardly Mike Ashley run Newcastle now are we??

I think his stance has been like that since the deadwood we have bought because plan A was ballsed up and we have been left with players no other club wants. That in itself is as bad a problem. If you can’t get the player you want, why buy someone crap who doesn’t improve the squad or even gets a sniff of playing taking up wages and wasting a a transfer fee. You are doubly effed as you have to shift a player to make space for plan a the following transfer window. My take on it anyway.

I reckon most fans won't be basing whether they renew their season tickets or not on how many new shiny players the club signs to be honest.
Levy might have lost your 2200, but someone else has already gone and given it to him.

Sick of all the negative shit flying around recently, seriously getting bored of it.
Just watched another impressive performance by our boys, coys.

when he 1st approached Betis he had no intention of paying 88m so offered his lowball, just like Man U are doing with Leicester for Maguire.
apparently we had an agreed deal at 1 point, but because it's going wrong the doubters want to blame Levy. if we are going to blame anyone, lets wait till the end of the window and see what happens

It’s all well and good saying signings won’t get a full pre-season to bed in with the team and tactics/fitness etc. But Lo Celso isn’t due back to Betis until tomorrow. It’s not ideal and I agree on the most part, with a day or two probably making a difference but this was always the outcome with his tournament appearance. Just hope Levy’s long-game poker pays off!

I hear you but my concern is that we've been here so many times before and have been left wanting. I hope Levy pulls it out the bag this time, I really do.
