Where did i say we should have bought someone by now? I dont expect anything from us for at least another couple of weeks. My point was we are different because we have appointed a short term, volatile manager who's time here will be defined by this window and the summer so we can hardly be shrugging our shoulders and writing one of those 2 windows off.We are no different to any of them and we are doing nothing differently.
You're all just acting like spoilt brats whinging because we didn't get shiny new toys on day 1. It doesn't happen anywhere so it won't happen here. You're just going to have to deal with it.
He's not in the Metz starting XI consistently this season. Needs a lot of time.

2/10- Lucas is successful for 25m

50 million is nuts for a player with his injury record IMOSun linking us with Lamptey. Now we are talking. If ever there was an obvious signing, it’s him.

Spurs join race for £50m Brighton ace Lamptey but may need to wait until summer
TARIQ LAMPTEY is emerging as a key target for Tottenham. But boss Antonio Conte may have to wait until the summer to land the £50million-rated starlet. Lamptey, 21, has come back with a bang after …www.thesun.co.uk
Daniel, Joe is on line 2. He wants to know what Yacht's are currently en vogueYou know it’s funny cause we’re here whining about not getting transfers while Paratici, Hitchen, Conte, and Levy are working there butts off and at least 2 of them haven’t slept in days because they are trying to figure out transfers

Levy is responsible as he rarely looks for a finished player that has instant impact .Our biggest problem however is not levy but more our scouting. Because we actually been spending money in the last 3 seasons but it’s been almost all on dog shite players. Seriously. Ndombele lo Celso sessegnon bergwijn Doherty at the very least are colossal wastes of money. And Emerson also looks very limited so far. Hojberg as been terrible but he was decent last season and was cheap. Reguilon is also average so far. And our loans? Gollini gedson and Vinicius. Three extreme limited players as well.
I think it all depends on how good the wing backs are - if they really are able to provide the creative attacking play in the final third then you don’t really need an especially expansive midfield three. Although, that’s part of the reason that the Traore links are worrying. He’s fast, yes, but hardly the sort of intelligent wide player that can help unlock defences.Royal's recent struggles notwithstanding, I think that position and profile is what's needed above all else.
A striker is of course critical due to Kane's future but we currently have Kane, and the desire for more CB's confuses me, though I understand the whole left-footed thing.

Good. Too expensive and still just a prospect.

Simplistic view. We’ve been grossly mismanaged for years and completely under invested so you can’t compare us vs peers based on 7 days. We are desperate and should have paid to move deals over the line (offset by the historic frugality)My post , which didn't quote you or anyone else for that, quite clearly stated, we are on day 6 and have done nothing different to anyone.
You chose to quote me and say that the other teams don't need to but we do.
If you'd said "it's ok not to sign anyone on day 6, but signing no one this window is gross negligence" then you'd have a point. But you didn't.
