Yes clubs then didn't get the TV money they do now but conversely the players were a lot cheaper.

Agree....but like all markets, you buy higher and sell higher....look at Ross Mcormack etc..12m LOL.....we just need to sell the players we will not use.

If Pochettino wasn't happy for us to abandon the Schneiderlin chase and move for 'target no. 2' on his midfield list, we'd have been doing this on deadline day after a last-minute roll of the dice for Schneiderlin, not 3 days before deadline day.

Looks like we're moving on relatively quickly from first-choice targets this window if they're not happening. We're also moving for relative unknowns who aren't on everyone's radar. Tells me Baldini, Broomfield, Poch & Levy are all working very well together.

Chill out guys.

I agree, I don't think we would have got anybody in if Poch was so upset about not getting Schneiderlin. Spag Bol is so much in the Schneiderlin mould its obvious Poch has given it the go ahead.

Also I truly believe Poch when he says we have an unbelievable squad, he looks like a kid in a candy shop. As he said he just wants to balance it a bit more.

He certainly looks happy with his squad, but when you have won 4 out of 4 all seems fine, the test of how Poch will feel about not getting his targets is when we have lost a few , not now.

People seem to forget that Andros played on the birthday of his brother that passed away. It was an emotional night for the family.

Probably why they let him take the penalty as Paulinho was lining up to take it and then Andros and a few other players had a bit of a huddle when he scored.
