If I’m guessing that might actually impact the transfer business we have left to do. Maybe we sign a CM and that’s all folks.
This season will tell us just how close some of these youngsters who either do or will eventually count as u21 for registration purposes, and eventually club trained, are to the first team. I do think this window is very much impossible to rate as of right now, we really need to see the likes of Bergvall, Gray and Odobert play at least a few competitive games in a Spurs shirt before we can really judge how much use they are to us in the here and now. If Solanke replicates last season's form with Bournemouth (who Iraola does have playing somewhat like a low budget version of Spurs tbf) we are instantly better off up top, which was the area of most glaring concern for most posters prior to the window opening, so very excited to see just how big of a factor the young guys are gonna be in our squad this season.
 
Skipp gone, LoCelso very likely gone.

Some wedge freed up.

I think likely for the Wolves hard man.

Terrific player, hard tackling fucker, not a brilliant visionary passer of the ball but we are overloaded with those now.

What we haven't got is a Bissouma type player because the Bissouma we have is not the Brighton player we brought in.

Far from it.
I'm not sure we have a brilliant visionary passer of the ball. Porro at a stretch, but more of crosser. Romero for a cb maybe. Maddison probably the only one and he doesn't really have much long range passing in his locker. Not many of our midfield players are great passers of the ball. Lo Celso at times but he's not really involved.
 
Regardless of whether I'm in the bin, it is true that we'll have to make tough choices.

Even if we don't sign anyone else, one of these players will have to be left out of the Europa League squad. And any new signings will mean more omissions needed (unless they are club trained like KWP).

Very polite response to a very impolite post.

I think we will be able to tell right from Ange’s first team sheet and subs vs Leicester.

I’d probably expect him to start Sarr and Bentancur over Gray but I’d also expect both Gray and Bergvall to see minutes after the 60-70m mark

We don’t really play any long diagonals though.

Maddison and Bentancur are both able to ping them for the length of pass we play. Romero like you said.
