Transfers Summer 2016 Transfer Window Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We are definitely the youngest -probably the smallest too - squad this season.
18 senior players that have to be named in the squad.
All the rest are u21 - Dele and Nkoudou - or academy products.
 
How does inflation work?! Sissoko for £30-35 million?!

I'm glad this didn't happen this morning..
 
So we all identified DM and ST at the start of the window as the place to strengthen. We do that, and do that early.

They now use the one thing they've moaned about (leaving it late) as a tool to have a pop again!

They now actually want late action and desperate signings on deadline day! Otherwise it's another ''failed window''.

Jesus Christ. Some of you don't even know you're born.

We could sign Messi and some of you would still moan we didn't address some ill-conceived hole in the squad.
The reason people now want us to sign players so late is because we sold other players late as well. This hole that has been created is of the club's own doing. I agree with you that initially we were fine with Janssen and Wanyama, but since then we ended up selling players and thereby creating this hole, which now needs to be adressed. This isn't about the fans wanting signings for the sake of it being deadline day, this is about us needing to reinforce with additional players because we've just sold some useful ones. It's not the fault of the fans that we waited so long with selling them.

Impossible to sell before someone wants to buy.
 
If we wanted replacements for Chadli and Mason why did we not try to sell them earlier and have replacements lined up?
Why did Pochettino not state in pre season that those two were also not in his plans?
Doesn't make sense to sell these two so late with no definite replacements unless he's promoting from within.
It may be time for everyone to put their money where their mouths are and trust the manager.
If Levy was stripping Pochettino's squad without his consent just before DD to balance the books , then Pochettino will be gone very soon.
Wouldn't say much for Mitchell or our recruitment team either would it as they haven't helped identify anyone either.
Edit: except Sissoko, Zaha, Schenderlin and Jones ;)
