Why can a club like West Brom come in and wrap up a £13 million deal for an established player like Nacer Chadli in a couple of days yet we take weeks to secure a keeper on loan and a £9 million prospect?

13 million for Chadli is dirt cheap in this transfer window. He's much better than people on here give him credit for. Pulis has got a deal there.
Because they're buying a player we don't want - we're after players who aren't really in that category.
Marseille was a change of upper level management, it's normal for new people to assess 'in progress' deals and re-negotiate. Pau Lopez is waiting on Espanyol to sign a replacement.
Complete insannity , 3rd choice keeper and cheapo squad player .
Total bollocks
No idea why we are fucking about with this Lopez geezer. We have Hugo and Vorm which is probably the best 1-2 keeper combination in the league. They are 29 and 32, which as keepers go is fairly young.
Really?
Hmmmmm...... okay. I still think we are a striker light and definitely short if Eriksen, not that he is firing as yet, gets injured.
I appreciate folks who tell us fellow Spurs fans to be calm and trust that the club has things under control.
However surely the same folks can appreciate the simple fact, that a whole fuckload of money will now have to be spent within very few days to balance the squad let alone reinforce it?

Looks like Berahino is going to go but to whom?
Sky is quoting Spurs at 25/1 to buy him could be worth a few quid on him?

Can somebody show me how many premier league minutes Mason-Bentaleb-Chadli played last year combined? All players with some qualities but I can't see them leaving a massive hole in our squad (Eriksen/Alli/Son/Njie all roughly rotate the left wing, Wanyama is going to take up any of the minutes Mason and Bentaleb may of had.

And we lost out through a lack of quality to change a game.
We need 3 more of quality. No doubt at all.
If we end up with Zaha for Chadli I'm fucking done.
My point being they did not change any game (positively) when they came on last year. Not saying we do not need incomings (pace) just don't think they leave a hole in our squad when they were hardly used last year.
Is it over yet?
I reckon it will be one and done. Either Nkoudou or Zaha.
If it is the latter they should get Alan Partridge to announce it.

I thought we needed another striker before we sold Chadli. Now that is even more of a glaring need.
Look at leicester and how reactive theyve been after winning the league. Their first season in the CL league and theyve already signed musa, mendy and kapustka for 40m and are about to spend more than 40m on silmani and silva. Yes they sold kante but theyre not willing to be 1 hit wonders and want to push on.
Us on the other seem like we are only interested in balancing the books.
