They have been bringing in a fair few players - impressive that Tielemans (genuinely forgot that they hoovered him up until this moment) was the most expensive at £22.5m.
Until Balde, I assume.
Very profitable model they've now got going. Shame that they won't even get close to defending their league win this season.
Only 47 minutes until ' in 48 hours' can't be used by the press/itk 
I am intrigued by the above but:
1. When was the last time Spurs signed 2 players (not 4) in the last 48 hours?
2. Any EPL club signed 4 players in the last 48 hours?
Balde personally, but that's because Jovetic is shit.
I think Keita will play where Rony has been playing. Which is basically on the wing.
I'll be fucking gutted and it will affect my mood in the next few daysGenuine Question:
For those who seem to delight in the negativity of things, choosing to believe the worst of the club, insisting we won't sign anyone, concluding the window before it is closed....
...if we don't sign anyone, will you be happy you were right, or disappointed?
Didn't woolwich sign 5 players on/around TDD in 2011? (that's without thinking about it much)
Also, 1: we signed 2 on TDD last year
I'll be disappointed. Not because I think it will affect our season too badly (RWB aside) but because I think it will prove to our squad that Danny Rose was right. It will look like a lack of ambition first and foremost.Genuine Question:

Here we go again sammy. I'm going to let you in on a secret here, but our players also play outside of matches in something called training. My guess is Poch sold N'jie and lent out Onomah on the basis of their performances in the training sessions.
Do you think maybe, just maybe that Poch wanted to make additions to the squad all along? What's happening is that Levy has been fucking him over all summer and now he's putting pressure on him publicly. We all knew it was going to happen. Poch and his team deliver a list of targets and none of them are bought. Instead we end up with the likes of N'koudou, N'jie and Sissoko. Every fucking summer and this one is no different. Fucking shambles of a window.
Trippier was injured for the opener, which is why KWP got his debut.
Do you want the manager to go out and say we can't play at Wembley? How fucking dumb are you
This narrative you've been peddling all summer is falling apart just like your mind. Hope you're happy, this is exactly what you wanted
Looking extremely plastic at the moment.
Another day of nothing.
I think at this rate Pochettino will have little to say which I will interpret as silence saying volumes.
As on the pitch we are largely missing the target.

Ooh a bit strong but I do think those who justified our lack of movement early doors must now be wondering what is going on.
Check back and the man to whom you refer did mention his disappointment if it end up 5 out 1 in.
Just saying.
I don't know about woolwich.
Last year we signed Wanyama and Janssen early on. Sissoko last hour and Nkouda was already in London for few weeks, done his medical ...etc and pen on paper Aug 31st. 2016.
Neither Sergi, Foyth, RB or Sess anywhere near N17 but hope you're right, will see.
The guy has been done nothing but insult me whenever I've said I thought a player would improve the squad. Might've changed his tune, but that's not what he entered the window thinking
can you imagine the meltdowns at Woolwich if he signs for Liverpool. After Wenger said it's dead in the water, won't happen.I swear if that paves a way for Lemar to join Liverpool or Woolwich...
They seem adamant they won't sell him.
Lemar was rotated last season.
They have bought a striker, a midfielder a defensive m a left back and a centre back. Maybe they are stocking up
Sold too many of their team already a third..
It will be heartbreaking if he goes to Liverpool.
There was £40m odd difference in our wage bills last returns.
I don't think Liverpool can compete with Woolwich wages wise
He's on peanuts at Monaco. Supposedly gets less than £5k a week.
Surely if we wanted him the salary would be very acceptable.
He would be getting more game time as Liverpool have Mane and we are in better shape than Woolwich.
If he goes anywhere not either of those 2 . Woolwich I could understand, French, Wenger.
But fucking Liverpool
We are supposed to have the most progressive manager when it comes to youngsters.
What has Klopp got.
I don't think Poch likes wingers anyway.
When we have had pace on the flanks he has used it sparingly. Nkoudo hasn't had a decent run out, and neither did Njie.
He doesn't seem interested in those types. More player who can interchange along the front 3.
He used the full backs as wingers.
Perfect post proving misery loves company.
Aurier is all done, pending paperwork. Barkley has apparently been sewn up pending formalities ('official' bid follows informal negotiations and contract talks etc.), so will be easy to conclude. Foyth is apparently all done pending WP.
The only one with a bit of work involved would be Sessegnon, but it's not going to be too much of a pain - he's not involved in Internationals (that I know of), and is surely no more than 30 mins away from Hotspur Way at any point, even if he's at home.
Jokanović will probably shit his pants if we pull off Sessegnon, but he seems to have a 1mm long fuse anyway. I imagine it's only going to be likely if we get a decent offer in place in prep for them to use any funds, but I'm reasonably confident. We'll see.
It'll at least be nice to have some expectations for Thursday, rather than in the Winter window when we knew nothing was going on.
