Honest question, IF we're done with our incomings have we done enough?
Imo, no absolutely not.

Oh really? Reported by whom? Trix or Zeus?
What you don't consider is that being in the EL is exactly the year when you want to get the youngsters so you can bed them in. If we were in the CL, maybe the strategy would have been slightly different. But only slightly. Might have gotten one more player that walks into the first XI. But that's about it. And it might not even have been one you had even considered.

Werner on loan and Solanke are the only players we've signed who are over 20, so despite the good signings of the youngsters i think its a resounding no. If anyone would have said they'd have been happy with this back in May i think they're lying.Honest question, IF we're done with our incomings have we done enough?

Done well on the outs though, i'll give them that but in its way that rubs it in even more with the reduction in the squad and the wage bill.
If the strategy is about a long term project peaking in 2026/27 then yes it's a nice step along the way.Honest question, IF we're done with our incomings have we done enough?

If it's about this season to win Europa and/or FA cup and finish top 4 in EPL, then it's probably one or two short, unless Ange can get them really singing.
I agree, we definitely need a better backup keeper and LB and also a proper baller in midfield.
We needed a winger as well, or two, and club brought in Werner on loan and Wilson. The former is underwhelming and the latter a bit of a gamble.
I think it promises to be even more of an up and down season then last time out, at least in the league anyway.

Fuck me is the latest noise that we are done in the market, fucking hell.
To answer the question - no, we’ve done nowhere near enough. In front of goal we’re as ruthless as a nun, at the back every one of our defenders has a Walter Mitty moment per game - how can you let a geriatric Vardy score

People on here are utterly obsessed with the academy.
If most of them played for other teams they'd get ridiculed, but because they're Spurs, they're all future world beaters.
Nobody knows until they play mens PL football. Doesn't matter how good they look at U17 etc, the opposition isn't the same.
People will shudder at buying a forward from Holland as it's a weak league, but will rely on an 18 year old kid who plays training games for our academy.
We’ve qualified for the Champions League numerous times over the last decade. Each year we did it had absolutely zero impact on our transfer business, we still operated at the same level. Remember the window we had the last time we qualified for the Champions League? *shudders*
The only time you could argue we tried to operate at a slightly higher level was the infamous Summer 2019 Ndombele/Lo Celso window, and even that was nothing to do with Champions League and more the gun that was at Levy’s head as we had made the final the year before with Winks and Sissoko in midfield.
No no no no no.
What do YOU suggest?
We keep hearing people ask what those of us that are dissatisfied are doing.
What do we do?
We can't give up our season ticket as there's tens of thousands of others that will take them.
We can't get anti owner songs going because most fans don't get involved.
We can't throw bricks at people because that's what arseholes do.
There's little more we can do but moan. But we will not accept that we're a nothing club that shouldn't be trying as hard as it can to be better.
Watch us have 80% possession and go in at HT 0-1 down tomorrow. There will be boos.
No point playing well, not taking chances and concede from the only chance you give them all game.
I am really tired of that Tottenham
Yeah, a bit mad. But Leicester looked crap, it's as easy an away fixture as we'll have in the league this season. I get why people are angry, we have lots of promising young players, but the only first 11 weakness we've addressed meaningfully has been at striker. At 6 and RW we've brought in teenagers. I'm happy enough to just enjoy the season for whatever it will be, but people who pay to go to the stadium every week I can understand wanting more tbh
I think Leicester looking shit is a bit of an illusion. I think they and many other teams this season are going to happily give us the ball and sit tight in their own box. It'll make us look great as we'll have loads of the ball. But we're going to continue to struggle to break the opposition down if they're all defending deep within the width of the penalty area.
And through all of the "pressure" they opposition know they'll get chances.
The reaction to that draw at Leicester is completely fair and valid in my opinion.
There will be few games away this season where we will be as dominant as that and what do we have to show for it - a draw against a side that look nailed on for relegation.
That game was a routine win for Woolwich, City, Liverpool and quite possibly United, Villa, Brighton.
£65m striker and we look like we can’t finish our dinner. We laud our defenders to the heavens but concede because we forget to mark literally the only dangerous player they have.
They can fuck right off with that, I’d rather play shit on a stick football and win 1-0 than batter teams but only draw
The worrying part was that after they scored we couldn’t get back in the game until the Bentancur injury did us a favour and stopped the game for about 8 mins. After that, with subs, we sort of got going again.
I still fear the worst with those tactics. Our centre backs spend their time racing back to their own goal. We have Newcastle, Woolwich and Man Utd in next 5, will know a lot more after that.
People have rightly lost faith in us ever winning again under ENIC’s ownership.
Our fanbase is full of whinging, miserable, cowards.
Both can be true at the same time.
