Gibbs? At least he talks about Spurs (whether you actually agree with it is another matter), that's more than can be said of this ranter here.
dont worry you will learn....

No, Gibbs talks about Gibbs, using his limited knowledge of Spurs as a flimsy platform for his baseless rhetoric.
Amazing init.So everyone pretty much agreed that the two positions that we definitely needed to strengthen were cover for Dier/Dembele and Kane..........we then signed exactly that early in the window for very reasonable fees
But now the narrative is that we have left our transfers to the end of the window
The same people that bemoan late transfer activity also complain about no late transfer activity.....
I've never understood the point of Barca no being big spenders
I agree that from the outset Janssen/Wanyama joining would have things pretty much covered, but to be fair, since then we've let go of some players as well. In particular Chadli leaving is somewhat of a concern imo. And there are rumours (yeah I know) of some additional departures as well.So everyone pretty much agreed that the two positions that we definitely needed to strengthen were cover for Dier/Dembele and Kane..........we then signed exactly that early in the window for very reasonable fees

Yes we are going to sign someone!
That is all well and good but what really got people's attention was Poch's weird press conference. It is easy to hold the middle ground on this. Basically sit there and say we are great. You will get a lot of agrees and everything will be rosy. But Poch doesn't seem to see it that way and claims we need a Mane. I think I trust Poch on this. N'koudou might mitigate this problem we have behind the strikers but the fact we are desperately trying to sign Zaha, a quite frankly average player, means Poch probably is not happy with the squad.So everyone pretty much agreed that the two positions that we definitely needed to strengthen were cover for Dier/Dembele and Kane..........we then signed exactly that early in the window for very reasonable fees

Outgoing transfers are completely reliant on the buying clubs timings - so ridiculous for anyone to blame Levy for these happening late unless our valuations are completely out of line (they don't seem to be).
We were never going to sign replacements for perfectly okay PL players like Chadli and Mason before they go, if at all - Poch might think youth team players are ready, he's been right about this previously.
Hope she takes her teeth out before she goes down on you!
