Comparing their squad to ours is pointless. As you say they have improved their squad and shown ambition both in terms of money spent and profile of player targeted (Todibo is hot property and was touted for Juve/Barca).

No one knows how the signings will adapt but at least the intent is there from the ownership to improve the football team. That's all that fans want to see each year.

Areola
Coufal - Todibo - Kilman - Emerson
Ward-Prowse - Paqueta
Bowen - Kudus - Sommerville
Fulkrug

Not a bad side at all.

It a nice little mid table starting line up that'll likely be carried by Kudus and Bowen again.

It's incredible that Paqueta is still allowed to play football.

Your wasting your time some folk fully have their head in the sand. The window so far has seen us move backwards. It's bewildering that people want to repeat the mantra of it will be okay in the end. We were staggering the last three months of the season. I'm genuinely concerned we end up in a fire storm with Ange's job at risk if we don't address some of our issues within months. By all means cultists bookmark this( unlike some here I pray I'm wrong). Just think what any kind of injury to Vicario would do to us. Mental squad building. But hey we got the data guys now!

Yeah, no-one knows how those signings gel together, but the fact is they’ve appointed a tidy coach, seem to have a good talent ID guy too. In a post-Kane and Son in his prime world, there’s no reason we’re guaranteed to finish above the likes of them. Our attacking players are nothing special, and we all know that.

I will guess that, as usual, the team that wins the transfer window struggles.

Not a single one of their signings gets in our starting eleven. Though they have improved on a squad that was bang average to start with. So fair play to them.

Looking at their fixtures, could quite easily lose their first three league games too.

But this happens every summer. Some random small team gets sucked off for making signings.

It’s never about will they get in our side, the question is will they improve West Ham and that is a resounding yes. Kilman and Fullkrug start. Summerville gives them depth up top. Guido gives them cover for Alvarez. If they pinch Todibo away from Juve then he starts and improves them at CB.

Meanwhile Tottenham Slothspur haven’t bought a single player that improves the first 11

Yeah the GK issue is largely being ignored because it's back up and we need to improve the first IX but we are SERIOUSLY fucked if anything happens to Vic.

I like Ange's ideas but it's clear he can't execute them with the forwards we have. We got fully figured out halfway through the season. Cunts like Gary O'Neill were outdoing him tactically.

For me the minimum acceptable end to the window is Solanke + Neto (or similar profiles of the same level). Any less than that and Ange is in trouble.

When have Tottenham ever been carried by either?

Weird argument.

But if you want to spend your night sucking off West Ham, be my guest. I'm out

Alvarez will start in midfield probably with Paqueta. A front 4 of Bowen, Kudus, Summerville and Fullkrug. As a 6 that is seriously strong - all they need to do is beat up the bottom 12 sides, doesn’t matter if the top 7 are better, they can get 76 points from those bottom 12 and that front line will do the business against the bottom lot.

If they get Todibo alongside Kilman they will win a lot of football matches.

No Europe helps them as well - without decent strengthening we will struggle with them next year

Juve do have a pot to piss in, they’ve offered 55m euros for Koopmeiners, which is probably what’s pissed Tobido off - that he’s not their priority.

West Ham offered Nice a loan with obligation to buy him for €40m.

Juve aren't willing to match it. And rightly so for that sort of price for him.

But they're a weird one. Already spent nearly €100m this year and like you say, make. Koopmeiners the most expensive Serie A midfielder signing of all time. But haggle over money for Calafiori and now Todibo.

They have more ambition than we do.

Alvarez gets in no? soucek? antonio on bench. They probably better than we are
