Transfers Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

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?

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.
 
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?
 
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.

Yup.

8 DFs:
Walker / Rose / Alderweireld / Vertonghen / Trippier / Davies / Wimmer / Carter-Vickers

11 MFs:
Son / Mason / Eriksen / Wanyama / Lamela / Dier / Alli / Dembéle / Carroll / Onomah / Winks

3 FWDs:

N'Jie / Kane / Janssen
 
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.
 
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.
