Clearly in that situation it was possible, as it happened. In other situations, it simply might not be possible.

Badiashile to the chavs for 35m on the 5th is a decent marker.
Most would have to be reasonable and say Dragusin by tomorrow would have been the club going outside its comfort zone to chase a successful squad?
I think you're being a tad disingenuous there, old boy.
A lot of us do care. And a lot of us see the relevance to THIS THREAD.
Let's not have a repeat of the silly shenanigans of last summer where a handful of posters, led by your good self, tried to dictate what could and couldn't be discussed regarding our transfer strategy. Levy, ENIC, Ange, Munn, whoever.....it's all undeniably intertwined
Indeed so the difference here is overpay for Dragusin who is effectively a 3rd choice CB before the window opened so he's ready for the Burnley match or sign him shortly after so he's ready for the Utd match, that's the literal difference here.
If you think that's the difference between winning and losing then you should perhaps re-evaluate how you follow football.
His days at Spurs were numbered after being mocked and booed (almost to tears) at several games. His confident was gone.
And it's a shame how some of those disgusting boo-boys treated one of their "own" players.

Is that Bono?
Us being the 5 people that moan for the same of moaning about the same things over and over again, Levy lovers, ENIC bot, ENIC shill yeah okay if you care about that then you should care in the thread designed for it.
We're here to talk about transfers
Ange was happy to leave Davinson, a player he didn't sign and had never managed before as 3rd choice CB in pre-season so that is enough evidence for you to say that he should have been happy to keep him and use him for the season.
Remember the conversation was about being short at CB even if Davinson stayed because the manager clearly saw it like Dier as both needing replacing.
You somehow claim to know better than the manager which players should or shouldn't have been useful to him based on a couple of months of pre-season.
Have a nice day.
how do you know this? It’s not fifa. A lot goes into a transfer!! It’ll get done. People who think transfers are easy and take no time to get done and not t etc are so naive

Liverpool agree deal to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton for £75m
Liverpool have agreed a £75m deal to sign Virgil van Dijk from Southampton.www.skysports.com
Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Van Dijk on 27th of December.
Considering the situation we currently have at CB, not acting in a similarly urgent manner shows the difference in a nutshell between the way the two clubs are run.

No arguing that Liverpool are a better run club in terms of recruitment than we are by a long stretch, but to be fair, on this deal, the reason it got completed late December ready for the January window was that they’ve made a ball up of doing the deal in the summer previously.
You are assuming he's signed in time for the UTD match.
We will most likely play 4 FBs vs Burnley. Still possible to win but not as good as having a 3rd CB in on the 1st and having him train for the week to play.
The tradeoff is the overpay vs the risk of going out in the FA Cup. We are still favourites to win the game but that is undeniably the tradeoff or we wouldn't be bothered about doing it early at all.
Yeah ‘course mate, Im sure their embarrassment waned significantly when van Dijk went on to be vital in them winning every trophy there is to win.
Also, were they ever actually charged with “tapping him up” or was it just Saints getting their nickers in a twist because Liverpool were literally signing all their players at the time and they just go sick of them?
The point that they couldn’t get it done is summer is valid, but let’s be frank, if we were close to signing a player of Van Dijks level in a summer window and didn’t get it done, would we continue to pursue it and ultimately get it concluded before the January window even opened? Would we fuck.
Sure.
I guess the complaint for a lot of people is that it seems to be not possible more often for this club than it's rivals that have consistently got over the line and won things.
Until they shake that, the lack of patience and willing to consider all the context is understandable
