Transfer window closed, so cast my vote for a 6. I like that we got rid of some older, injury prone, bit-part players on high wages. Sissoko and Aurier gone is good.
Like the players we have bought and like the direction we seem to be headed - younger, talented and hungry.
Would have loved striker back up and creativity in midfield but not to be this window.
 
With the Summer 2021 transfer window now closed, what are your thoughts about our signings, sales and loans?

*Spurs have inserted a 'buy-back-clause' plus a 'sell-on-clause into the contract with Sunderland for Cirkin'
 
Torn between 5 and 6, lot of clever business and managed to hold onto Kane but can’t help but think we’re light in attack. Hope Scarlett is ready to play in the conference league cause IMO Kane shouldn’t be touching that comp until the knockouts. Need to wrap him in cotton wool and avoid him getting a big injury.
 
Are we ignoring that we have committed to buy Romero for 50m ? The loan gig is just a way round the fact that he was purchased by Atalanta and immediately sold, no? Either way, unless mistaken, this is like the Lo Celso deal, where we have basically bought him, just structured it to comply with rules, no?
 
Like every window you always want more - why not Messi and Ronaldo they were available? But if you look at what we wanted and then what we got ....

In we wanted several players -

GK - Gollini
RB - Emerson Royal
CB - Cristian Romero
DM - Sarr (but not for now)
AM - Gil (but more winger than AM)
Striker - none

We also gained Sessegnon back from Hoffenheim and Skipp back from Norwich.

Out we wanted several players off the wages -

Foyth, Alderweireld, Sissoko, Hart, Rose, Lamela, Gazzaniga, Aurier

also Bale and Vinicius dropped of the loan wage bill.

You can argue that we should have lost more or different players but overall job well done.

So not a perfect window, it never is, but from goals set to goals achieved I gave it 8/10

Pretty much yeh.

Also, if we're gonna consider loans ended (Bale & Vin) as exits, it's only right we consider loanees returning as incomings for the matchday squad too (Skipp & Sess).

Personally, I think there's a lot to like about the business we've done, but disappointed that we couldn't uncover someone to help supplement the main goalscorers (be that RW-starter or back-up Striker)... That we seemed happy enough to wave 30m-odd around chasing Traore; I'd have hoped Paratici would have something more essential up his sleeve on the attacking front.

6.5/10....... I'd have said 7/10 if my expectations of Emerson weren't second-hand.
 
I’ve scored it an 8 out of 10

I think we have made decent strides forward in terms of a rebuild this window and have bought/ loaned sensibly whilst adding more to key positions of Gk, RB, CB.

Paratici has performed well in his role so far and especially good to see departures being made in bigger quantities then previous windows.

I think we can expect Paratici to be working hard this winter on shifting Ndombelé in January along with a few others mainly Doherty and Winks.

All in all a good start on and off the pitch with the rebuild keep up the good work Don Paratici And Nuno

COYS

I don't know. I'm really disappointed we didn't manage to sell Kane for a ton of dough and really reshaped the squad.

As far as the players we've brought in, I hadn't seen enough of Gollini, Romero, Gill, Sarr to really make a call.

But at least we did clear out a chunk of flotsam.

I wouldn't have been against a new dawn once all the shit-houseing started, but City came no-where close though.....

There was no express re-build likely with what little was being offered..... By the time we'd have ended up splashing big money on a new ST there'd have been fuck all left.

I think when you look at what we have done, we're in the realms of the same KIND of players that would have constituted a 100-120m Kane-funded rebuild anyway.
 
NET SPEND OF 30m

We have retained 2 of the best strikers in world football.

Top quality New CB and RB to fix our defence and Gil adds some much needed youth to add to our attack.

With Skipp/Sess back from loan and Alli back in from the cold I believe our squad is better than last year; but we are very dependant on Ndombele getting back up to speed by Xmas.
 
I don't really care to be honest but thank fucking christ this transfer window shit is over for another few months anyway.

I despise these transfer windows and the sooner they get rid of them totally the better. Let every club buy and sell any player whenever they want to.
