Great post. Sums it up nicely.It gets mildly frustrating seeing this idea from Spurs fan that we "shouldn't panic" as there's over a month left in the window.
This is an idea that we were supposed to be growing out of as a club. We know the importance of pre season when it comes to integrating new signings and working on the squad for the coming season, and we have completely written that off. Trying to build a squad on the fly after the seasons started does not end well for the most part.
Don't forget what the manager said in June. Forget him toeing the line now and saying that he's calm.. In June, he was pretty clear that he wanted a few signings in before pre season, because he knows the importance of that time.
And for this idea that "their not the ones delaying". This club, for the most part, has moved like death when it comes to doing business for as long as we can remember. Giving this club the benefit of the doubt is nothing more than blind faith.
Ahh. OK.You lot are wasting your time in this thread.

Alistair “on a Jolly” Gold seems bright enough. That guy could be in TwistersEither Lange is really working under the radar or we’re absolutely screwed. Because no journalists have a clue what we’re doing
Germany pleaseWonder who the European teams are.
Think I'd prefer he got sent abroad tbh. Eredivisie would be nice or even Ligue 1 - leagues that don't mind giving promising young talent a chance.
I wouldn't say it bothered me.
How has it been better than 2/10 ?
- Tanganga was released on free. He is 25 yo HG player that played 50 games for us. Other clubs sell such players for like 10 mi
- PEH loan with obligation to buy, but he really seemed like valuable property after Euros, yet we look to make like 12-15 mil for him ? Again less than I was expecting.
- Rodon deal was OK but not very good. He was in the end, nailed on starter for side that nearly got promoted. Also HG player, I could have seen us getting 4-6 mil more than we got.
- Gil is loaned again (!) not sold. Pointless yo-yo game, throwing away, taking back. Losing money and wasting time.
- Perisic, Ndombele and Sess released - well with them it was fully inevitable, I agree with that much
Regulion, Royal still here and with Royal we are looking at 10 mil loss (!) despite OK performances on EPL level.
All of it together is absolutely horrendous.
Outgoings on their own is max 1/10, if not 0.
Get the deal done before someone in Milan comes to their senses would be my instinct.Or are we being unreasonable looking for 20 million for one of the worst right backs we’ve had in the last 20 years?
Just get rid of him ffs.
He’s a blue check on X. He’s getting ad money for all those interactions from Elon.
Worst thing is I know this and posted it a few days ago and I’m still in here like an idiotYou lot are wasting your time in this thread.

Beats working for a living!Worst thing is I know this and posted it a few days ago and I’m still in here like an idiot
He doesn't have a clue. Can't people see that he has no idea what is going on??
Christ I saw him play for us away at Derby County - we lost 2-1 and I don’t remember him getting a touch. Taribo West scored a cracking own goal for us.
I didn't say it was last minute, but it was exactly the same wasn't it? Both Johnson and VDV were done late, after the tour, people were incredibly antsy, and started to come up with scenarios where we only sign Lenglet on loan.We 100% did not.
We left ONE deal to last minute - Johnson.
We had Udogie locked up already ahead of last summer, but he de facto joined squad from start of the summer.
Madders AND Vicario joined from first day of window (!)
Solomon was closed on 11.07.
Micky official deal date was 08.08 (so 5 days before season opener), but if I recall correctly it was more or less sealed by this time last year.
So it is polar opposite of last season - we had THREE starting players coming in on first day of transfer window (!).
Right now we have signed 3 18-year olds, but no players in their prime age.
I agree they are fantastic player but only Romero had massive plaudits to go off. I have no problems signing young top quality player with potential. The problem I have is signing that one player that takes the team to the next level and I think Latauro Martinez or Rafael Leao does that. These players have performed at a high level over a number of seasons. Both Varane who had injury problems and Casimero were too old.There is an element of truth in some of this but
Do you consider VdV and Romero as second and third tier signings?
I would rather them than a varane or casimero who are supposedly world class prem ready players
The clubs policy is clearly to be signing top young talent
Vicario, Udogie, are these not top players ? Or is it that they’re not expensive enough or enough of a household name?
