I‘d rather see us improve our scouting and analytics. At some point all their contracts will run out, but doing what we can to avoid another mountain of shit players willing to collect a check would be nice.
Get the banners out. Shit window. Despite the good signings. Lost our best ever player and still weak in so many areas. Fuck these owners.

Lloris yes, Dier no.
I don't trust that fucker one bit, too many cynical moves that make me suspicious. It finally took Ange to properly put him in his place.
He's not good enough anyway.
Aka signing your no 1 priority target on deadline day...We are delighted to announce the signing of Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest.
The Wales international forward has agreed a deal with the Club that will run until 2029. He will wear the number 22 shirt.
Brennan Johnson has signed a contract with the Club which will run until 2029
Born in Nottingham, Brennan, 22, joined Forest's academy at the age of eight and progressed through the ranks to make his debut against West Brom in the Championship in August, 2019.
He spent a successful loan spell at Lincoln City in 2020/21, where his 13 goals helped the Imps reach the League One Play-Off Final - while his form also earned him a first senior cap for Wales, coming against the USA in November, 2020.
Back at the City Ground, Brennan starred as Forest gained promotion from the Championship into the Premier League in 2021/22. He scored 19 goals in all competitions, including 16 in the league and was on target in both legs of the semi-finals against Sheffield United as Forest returned to the top flight via the play-offs. His performances were recognised by the EFL - he was EFL Young Player of the Month in September, Championship Player of the Month for April and the Championship's Young Player of the Season.
Brennan was ever-present in his first season in the Premier League, contributing eight goals in 38 appearances and another two as Forest reached the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup.
Capped across all youth levels by Wales, Brennan already has 20 senior caps to his name and was part of Rob Page's squad for the World Cup last year.

The slow & terminal demise of Tottenham Hotspur FOOTBALL CLUB continues.
Still ENIC go from strength to strength. £100m in the bank for the hotel
No!
Tavistock are totally different!
All of Tottenhams profits get ploughed back into the club….
Pissed off with that window but thank fuck it’s over. Now we can get back to the football and being pissed off this time tomorrow that we’ve lost one nil away from home against Burnley like usual.
Given how the day could have ended with a Sanchez departure and no incoming, we’ve hopefully dodged a bullet in that sense.
Fingers crossed a squad place isn’t wasted on Dier and he’s shown the door.
Having Davies as the LCB cover isn’t ideal but we’ve got both VDV (cb/lb), Udogie and may be Sessegnon who can provide pace on the left hand side should Davies ever need to play CB.
Likewise on the right, both Porro and Emerson have decent pace to help protect Sanchez.
In an emergency Emerson can fill in at CB.

As bad as it sounds... We need Sanchez to stay he's our best back up option
i reckon the kid from blackburn cant be far off. hes not up against much is he? if he cant compete with sanchez then thats worrying.
the thing with sanchez is hes carrying too much bad baggage now. hes been shattered here, he needs a fresh start.
don’t really think Hugo is a fuck. Appreciate all he’s done.
But to publicly state he wanted a new challenge or something different months ago and then to still be here is no one’s fault but his own.
This window was painful for many reasons but the delusion some of these deadwood players have is the most noticeable thing.
ZERO self awareness. Luckily a few will leave on a free after this season and we’ll never have to talk about them again
Save the fairy tales for the kids.
Yeah, not good at all. The loss of Kane tips the balance from a decent ish window to a poor one. I thought after selling him they might make a statement but its just about keeping things ticking over, there is no real will to improve and challenge. If their attitude didnt change this window after the stick he got last year, yet another new manager and selling one of your best ever players then its safe to say it never will.
You reap what you sow. Too occupied with the stadium & training facilities. Blew his load on that at the expense of an ailing team whilst being told by the manager that a new house needed new furniture. Assumed Alli, Dier et al would keep producing and remain valuable club assets. Gave them all facilities & deals that are too cosy for them to move on from.
Stuck with too many misfits bought for the manager du jour.
Parataci has been in charge for the last four windows. He had a reputation of being able to bring players in but not being able to get them out.
A lot of this is due to the strength of the EPL. Continental clubs can’t or don’t want to match EPL fees and wages. With plenty of money coming in from Saudi in the next few years, that might change IF the money gets spread about a bit.
