Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Would be lying if I said I wasn't excited by Simons joining - X factor player and only 22yo - but Romano's shit the bed too many times for this to be believed.

Would raise this to a 5/10 window for me. Still need at least a LW and LB/LCB.
 
Barricade the gates at Hotspur Way, don’t let him out until the announcement video is filmed and released.

IMO, any window we add 3 excellent first team options is far better than a 5.

I’m thinking a 7 and would be higher but I do fear coverage at LB/LCB as you do.
 
Quality of signings = 8/10 (3 1st team ready, proven upgrades. 3 young prospects.)
Quantity of signings = 6/10 (A LW or LCB would lift to 8, both to 10)
Timing of signings = 6/10 (Kudus and Pahlinha were signed in plenty of time, Simons late.)

6.67/10 overall. We'll call it a 7.
 
£51.8m (€60m) feels like very good business, too. Interesting to see what figures others quote in the morning.

Let’s hope Simons encourages his mate Savinho to kick up a bit more of a stink about joining . . .
 
€60m would be an outstanding figure. Much more worth imo than an older Eze at a higher price point and probably not far in wages; even if he's not prem-proven, he's more suited to our team. MGW would have been the dream but that one I wouldn't blame us for

If we've really done it (big IF) we've snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in some sense here
