It’s almost as if all the ITK we’ve had has been correct all along.

Will back the manager. Will do business late. January is difficult. Expecting three in.

People generally need to calm down.

They’re such fucking dorks the way they suck up to them. And all the backseat moderation is cringe as fuck ‘hey c’mon guys, let’s not go off topic, the ITK might not like it and run away.’

Dickheads.
 
If I very good opportunity arises tomorrow then maybe we’ll sign another, but wouldn’t be shocked if that’s us done.


Surprised we didn’t follow up on Morata. He isn’t the best, but a back up striker of his experience and level til the end of the season would have made sense.
 
Let's hope so. One thing is for certain, I'm going to give any new players a chance to impress. I have a bad feeling that some on here will turn on them as soon as they put in one poor performance, but we've got to be better fans than that. By all means if they're lazy and don't care then give them shit, but if they are trying and it's not quite coming off, we need to support them, give them a chance to settle in and improve us. Of course it's true worldwide that for every great success transfer there are many failures or 'neutrals', but there are still some successes - let's hope to god that one or both of these lads become superstars and make us much better than we are right now. :)
Just yesterday there was unhappiness because Spurs weren't going to sign anyone and today some are unhappy because Spurs signed someone. To your point, it sounds like the players Spurs have signed or might sign are young guys with already some good experience who have a chance to get better under a coach like Conte. But they won't be fantastic on Day One. That's not realistic.
 
I understand that. Personally, I think Bentancur looks like he improves in our central midfield, even if there’s an element of more if the same, and Kulu gives us something by way of vision and craft that we lack. He may turn out more Gylfi than Eriksen but even that is an improvement in the final third.

I’ve been moaning about a lack of craft, and we desperately do lack in that dept., so maybe that’s the thinking behind Kulusevski, if so then I guess that’s an understandable gamble, especially as a loan/option.
 
Well not exactly the window we expected but Bentancur is a player I like and think will improve us. N'Kulusevski was very good two seasons ago and declined a lot for Juventus, but the talet is there, maybe Conte can recover his career, let's hope so.

Said that we failed to land a RWB, the most needed position in our squad, but maybe with a more combative midfield of Hojbjerg, Bentancur and Skipp we can afford to play Doherty, that showed to be a lot more of an offensive threat than Royan. Also Kulusevski will improve our attacking options an maybe we can rest Kane more.

A good window, I will give it a 2/10.
