Assume the forest fans gave the ol’ 5/10 - not enough signings.

Tottenham’s transfer window: They did things differently, but did they do what they needed?
Have Spurs emerged from this window stronger than their rivals? Does the failure to add one more take the sheen off their early success?theathletic.com
According to the Athletic we were trying to get Zaha during the final days of the window, and will probably try again in January. Either to outright buy him or negotiate a pre-contract since his Palace deal expires in 2023.
Would love Zaha here but not at the £40m+ bollocks they were quoting.
The fans would have skinned the club if they sold Winks and Dele when they should have. I'm not saying that it would have been the wrong thing to do; quite the opposite. But think about the uproar of selling young and, at the time, proven talents. Not only that, but at that time we were still not a big attraction. So we would have had difficulty replacing them. And that would have irked the fans even more and the usual moaners would accuse ENIC of only looking to turn a profit. Were we then in the position we are now, I think it would have been different and we may have entertained a sale.
why? It’s not your money.
He’s in great form
After wanking 175M (incl wages) on wankers Ndombele and all Celso, 40M for Zaha looks cheap

I seriously think buying in january would be better for us than now. It might be the kind of signing we need then to kick the rest of the players on.
Only that it would be really fcking expensive.
40 mil + wages (guess he would want 3-4 years ; say 150 kpw) he would cost 63 million and would have no value left in the end of contract.
Now you tell me, in what kind of a fucking world would 63 mil be a good idea to throw at 5th choice attacker?!?
And to tell it is not your / mine money - surely not. But I want my club to do well and use money wisely. Wiser the money is used, higher the chance for success. Throwing 63 mil at ageing player who can only be big fish in small bond would be idiotic. And people with any kind of brain activity would say quick "no" to that.
Ndombelly+LoCelso fuckup is criminal and someone should be put to jail for that, but just being better then one of the worst decisions in football history is not adequate benchmark. Otherwise 99,9% of the deals would be great success.
And there may be more players willing to move after the world cup.
Plenty of players apparently held off on moving in this window due to the risk of losing game time going into the world cup.
Now I am open and will receive all kind of names and reactions... BUT...
Looking at the list of free-agents... let's say if Barkley would be filled with sporting anger to prove Chelsea wrong and would be really interested in playing (some little minutes of) Champions League football...
Would it be worst idea to offer him, idknow, say 60 kpw to get him on 3 year deal?
Our max risk would be 9,36 mEUR... and if he'd find his feet, we could maybe even sell him for similar amount after 2 years making his total cost to 0 ?!?
Most likely he can find better offer from some EPL club more desperate - Villa/Palace/Leicester/Fulham who would pay him 100 kpw or even bit more. In which case I would not consider going into bidding war.
But if he would be interested in proving himself and join for the amount I quoted - what do you guys think? Could he be worth the risk or rather not?

Devastated, how will we be able to ogle images of her in the internet now that her boyfriend who we never had any in person contact with anyhow has temporarily transferred to a club a couple of hours away???Wait, you missed this??
Spurs fans gutted Reguilon's stunning WAG Marta Diaz is leaving with full-back
Premier League flop Sergio Reguilon was joined by his stunning Spanish model girlfriend Marta Diaz as the defender signed for Atletico Madrid on loan from Spurswww.dailystar.co.uk
I'm not sure I will ever get over this tbh.
Did T'Athletic claim this? Because you can't negotiate a pre-contract with a player of a club in the same country as yours, only those playing in a foreign league, I would have expected the ponces there to at least be well up on rules and regs...Tottenham’s transfer window: They did things differently, but did they do what they needed?

Is that you Steve Hitchen???
Fuck no. No PL club should be anywhere near Barkley.

Well... that did not say anything new...
Maybe except for confirmation that we were interested in Zaha.
Bit weird to compare Woolwich and Spurs windows and claim how "Jesus and Zichecko have improved their first XI" - when in the same positions Spurs have Harry fcking Kane who has... to no surprise... scored more goals in this season as well. Compared to having only Nketiah as competition. All the while to other strenghtened position Spurs brought in world-class Perisic.
Nah. He's had his feet up for years now, essentially. Been collecting his wage happily and I doubt a Premier League footballer remains, especially not one ready to play under Conte. I had time for him at Everton but he's long past giving a shit, if clubs had any faith in him he'd have been getting mid-table teams lobbing contracts at him. Instead his best case scenario is buggering off to Scotland.
He was really, really rubbish whenever I saw him play for Chelsea. Again I think he got a contract & was just happy to be a bit part player. His whole game was based on energy & drive so take that away and there isn't much.
Yes it would because Ross Barkley is shit
People don't learn do they, what happens when you get an average player and pay them big money...you're gonna struggle to get rid of them...again
Silly desperate business achieves nothing, this is literally what Conte alluded to when he said we can't be out here making mistakes in the transfer market.
No, unfortunately not Steve... would love to be him though. He got high level, well-paid job that he was nowhere near to be qualified
. And obviously I wouldn't even think of Barkley if he would not be free AND HG. Just basically cluching the straws. And thinking about unlikely options that would add passing ability to our midfield. Can't sign contracted players anymore, you know.
Well, he is not bad to look at. I think we can give him this much
! P.S oh, shit... of course they are in love... for shits and giggles I checked their team in transfermarkt and Harry Winks value makes up 18,3% of their whole squad value. No, not potential starting XI but whole 25-man squad.
Harry Winks... and almost 1/5 of whole squad worth ?!?
Whooaaa
To be fair I can see him doing well in Italy. They can't stand positive football.
