GOAT GOAT maybe stop disagreeing with every post he makes. It's looking a bit tragic.

I am hard. Hard as jelly, me.

But like I said, we clearly disagree on most things so there’s no point in carrying this charade further.

Happy to drop things but if you reply to this with a load of aggression or a disagree, then I will never stop.

I will just say that I think you’re taking this a little too seriously though! But never mind.

There are some desperately high amounts of money being thrown around for players late in the window, with neither Anthony nor Fofana worth anywhere near the cash.

overall we have had a great window and I don’t want us doing something silly late. That said, I’m a little disappointed we have only spent the money we would normally do with CL TV money etc and not touched the 150m squid that ENIC pledged.

Maybe we are saving it for January?
Maybe we’re saving it for someone that warrants it

(I’ll echo if Reece James was anywhere else he’d be an example )
 
Demebele wasn’t bossing anyone before adapting into a DM in his second season with us

Think the dates might be messed up here.

His first season for us was pretty good. Him and Sandro were a fantastic central midfield pair. We only lost THREE league games Dembele started in that season (12/13). Everton (A), Liverpool (H) and Fulham at home.

His second and third seasons for us though? Pretty poor.

In the 13/14 season AVB had pretty much coached us to be the most boring team possible which hindered Dembele completely. Basically nullified him. Then Sherwood came in and it wasn't much better for him. Failed to make the squad in 9 of his 22 games in charge and subbed off at half time in 2 of his 11 starts.

Onto his third season (14/15) and Poch had come in. But again, not much better for him. I am not entirely sure Poch rated him all that much in the beginning. He only started 10 league games all season and we only won 5 of those 10 games he started in. Rumours of him leaving for Italy came in January that year and we were close to selling him.

It wasn't until 15/16 that we finally started to see the consistent Dembele we came to know and love. Which was four years and three managers into his Spurs career. And even then it took a while to get going. He started the season playing on the right wing and it wasn't really until October of that season did we finally start to realise, damn, Dembele is good. Performance at home to Liverpool. Other than injuries, fitness or suspension, Dembele pretty much started every single league game going forward from then. In the 11 games he missed that year, we only won 4 times.
