Selling Berbatov and being used as a testing ground for a talentless teenager from Man United, that we had no option to buy...that was a good summer.

Last summer wasn't exactly a failure. It's not many windows you get to sign two players of the calibre of Gallas and VDV, and if we hadn't we'd have been severely fucked this season, we just didn't address our most glaring weaknesses.

If we'd have just signed a decent striker in January we might, despite the other problems, have had a better second half of the season.

Despite the success of VdV and Gallas I still think the last window was, overall, a failure as had we brought in a top quality striker rather than VdV I believe that we would have done better this season.

Gallas' experience has been vital but I don't think we would have been totally screwed with Daws, Kaboul and Bassong (whose regression this season I believe is down to his lack of playing time).

the signing of Defoe, crouch and palacios in Rednapps first window were pivitol to us finishing in the CL 18 months later

Measured on the season that followed or the players that were signed?

If the former, 09/10=4th, big success.

If the latter, 10/11=

Gallas=big success
Van der Vaart=big success
Sandro=big sucess

no brainer - VDV window was successful, without Gallas this season where would Spurs be?... Sandro as a future superstar is just gratuitous :clap:
