I'd rather we didn't sign giroud even if it meant not getting a striker....I know it makes no sense on paper but I would hate to have anyone so connected with Woolwich at the club

How has it never crossed his mind that he should mabey attempt to beat the first man....
Yeah but on FM 2020 Gedson reaches a market value of €70m, Bergwijn €58.5m and Lo Celso €72.3m so was it really as bad a window as you're making out?
Frankly, this makes it feel better. Good luck, Chris.
Kwp still has hope
He's got 14 games at Southampton to show he has the good stuff once he gets over his jitters, otherwise we probably see him and Max Aarons trade places.
My overall concern is that we are not able to buy players that are better than the ones we already have. Consistently, season after season we buy potential that is rarely filled.
Walker -> Trippier -> Aurier
Rose -> Sess
Moura -> Bergwjen
Vertonghen -> Sanchez
Dembele -> Sissoko -> Ndombele
Wanyama -> Dier -> Winks -> Gedson???
Eriksen -> Lo Celso
Soldado -> Janssen -> Llorente -> ??
Of course, we need to rotate the squad and replace ageing players - but we never seem to buy anyone that is actually capable of being better in that position.
The Dybala transfer would have been the real statement signing.
The last time we brought a player that has become a mainstay was Son & Toby in 16/17. Sissoko has played because we had no-one else, Sanchez / Moura and Aurier seem not to be trusted and have been in and out of the squad.
Certainly Lo Celso looks the real deal and Ndombele certainly should be

Oh get over yourself. In one regard, has anyone played for LeArse, Chelski, and Spurs - he’d probably be one of the most hated men in London, hate being a strong word. I bet he’s wanting to complete the trifecta and tbh, taking a step back, he could be a good bench player
forgot to mention his also pretty shit With only 5 premier league goals for Chelsea since he arrived....and at his age, no resale value
I feel like this was a really smart January window. Keeping Gio, more potential in Gedson and Stevie. Yes, we have other needs, but realistically those needs were never going to be filled until the summer anyway. Just because we need something, doesn't mean it's appropriate to go out and do it right now, and likely case the players they want to fill those positions won't be available in the summer anyway.
For a lot of people who moaned on about the lack of transfers over the past few years, there still seems to be a lot of complaints about the moves that were made since last summer. If all of the new boys reach their full potentials, we're in for a great few years at Tottenham.
What's equally as important is the players that are leaving, trim the fat to grow the muscle.

Why look at it that way when you can say;Or in another way...
- We have a Sissoko replacement in young Gedson
- We found a solution to the Eriksen drama
- Rose found an out
- We converted future Ballon D'or winner Lo Celso
- We brought in competition for Son/Lucas and perhaps an understudy to Kane who looks like a real talent
- KWP is getting a much needed loan with no option to sell
- The average age of the team is now about two years younger
For all our flaws in the transfer market in the last couple years, this window has been pretty crazy for us. Plus we didn't even need to turn up at Levy's house like our deluded friends from up north.
Where’s Vecino who I said was shit????
Where’s Piatek who I didn’t want?????
And if we did sign them, they’d just be called “Njie” anyway...
Hardly taking us to the next level .... pool or juve ... neither bothered left
Klopp does the same mind
Maybe so, but Klopp also has those creepy chompers and glasses for premature ejaculators.
I feel like that’s a bit of a non sequitur there but what you have put is hard to deny
