I was just pondering on who would be managing us when our impressive bunch of young players come of age. I’m probably being very optimistic, and I know Ange often only stays a couple of years, but a big part of me thinks he’s going to want to see this all come to fruition. If we’re beating the likes of Bayern and Barca to the best talent, Ange would have never been in that position before. Hopefully the project is too exciting to leave.

Given the current crop of managers, I would take Slot in a heartbeat to succeed Ange. There will obviously be new managers that emerge by the time Ange calls it quits at Spurs, but the great thing about it is is that, whoever these managers are, if Ange keeps this up we will probably be the #1 choice for most of them.

Overall not a bad window and appreciate that we can’t do it all with a rebuild in two windows.

But if where we’re aiming is where Liverpool are now - to be top of the league and competing across 4 competitions, we need to up the quality across the front line.

Love the investment in youth but you feel that a statement signing might really push the team on another level. COYS

Statement signings usually happen in the summer, though. Teams are not open to letting "statement" players leave midseason, unless it's for stupid money. And we clearly aren't doing "stupid money" signings, nor should we.

Not really. It seems that PSR has now put the brakes on ridiculous valuations for players, if this window is anything to go by. I still think it will all come to a head about half way through the Summer window, and we'll see prices drop fairly significantly.

PEH only has what, 18 months left on his contract right now? We'll do really well if we manage to squeeze more than £20M out of anyone for him. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we even managed to get that for him.

Which should also nicely affect rival clubs with little FFP wriggle room. If they were banking on £40/50/60 million sales, they're in for a big surprise.

So an untested 18 year old at least a year (and probably more) away in a position that were strong is worth +5 but two additions who improve the squad immediately in positions of need are worth +2.
Interesting take.

I already explained many times before, Defender should have bought in the summer and Timo his career was on downhill path. I wanted us to do more, ie sign one or two prospects and we did that. That's the way forward for us takin raw talent and developing it.

Slot didn't want to come to us though did he, so what would have changed?

Weird that you're basing this window on what we should have done in a previous and not what we actually did.

You might as well use that same logic for every club for nearly every transfer window in existence because it's very rare that clubs have the perfect transfer window and get all their business done or their holes filled.

What's more going from a 2 to a 7 when we signed a player who's just turned 18 is just jokes.

They wanted Werner didn't they? He's a good player, but not much of a striker, probably not a massive loss for them.

They certainly wanted Werner - and he was the closest player to a top striker that they could find.

So a big loss for them, he's have added to creativity to set goals up for others and scored a few too..

To put their need for a striker info some sort of focus - ManU have scored 28 goals in 22 PL matches whereas Spurs have scored 47 PL goals, 67% more

And Ange said that Spurs weakest part of the team was our abilities in the final third !

A lot will change in a few years that'll probably make us one of the more attractive clubs. It's already changing, in case you haven't noticed, to the point that players are choosing us over the likes of Bayern, Barca, and United.

Time to get out of your misery cocoon and look around you.
