100% spot on.
Frank was never going to fix this squad in a single transfer window.
Seven in?
Can't bitch about that when you consider the quality.
The two loan players have everything to play for given the fact that they have a WC year coming up.

In fairness Black Cats brought in a team of players at a few million each.
Barca or Madrid would spend that much on one player.

This will piss off some posters.
Spurs chose to bring in Kolo Muani when we could have brought in Lookman !
Kolo Muani is better than Lookman.
You never hear Liverpool or United fans carrying on about the times they finished 2nd. Winning trophies is what it's all about.
CallingGOAT a cunt and a kid used to result in every post you have done in the last year downvoted and the worst language imaginable directed at you and everyone you ever knew.
Times have changed...maybe he is a grown up now
I’ve got several posters on long term ignore which probably means I’ve missed some of those insults tbf.
Works better for me.
And I don’t mind Nigel. Makes me laugh (in a good way).
Oh look here we go, overrate gooner post from a poster who has never rated any Spurs players
I’ll say this, so far every member of that Woolwich squad is a trophy dodging bottle job that pledged their support for rapist Partey.
I’m not taking one of them in our squad.
Has Saliba ever won anything in his life? Romero easy choice.
Raya is a flappy hobbit. Vic has an adult sized body so he’s an easy choice.
VDV had one of THE iconic European Final goal line clearances. Gabriel does some headers at corners. Another easy choice.
I could go on.

The Champions League?
The gooners?
2 things imo
1. I’m happier with Muani because our 2 CFs have injury problems and Muani might be our best CF even when they are fit.
2. Fair play Lookman. This makes me respect his ambition and more encouraged to sign him if we ever went back for him later.
And Palinha did improve us, even if not the perfect solution for. #6
I am all for speculative purchases of young talent. Dele is probably the finest example in our recent history, and both Bergvall and Sarr look being very successful purchases in the same vein. However, I still cannot get my head around spending as much as £40m on the likes of Gray and Tel. That is an awful lot to spend on players that the club clearly acknowledge are not ready to start (otherwise we wouldn't have gone out to get Palhinha, Muani, and tried to buy Savinho). With the £80m we have committed to Gray and Tel we could have bought MGW or Savinho early in this window. If Levy really wants to win the PL and the CL we need more Savinhos and less Tels. Either Tel and Gray start and develop and become the players we want in 18 months, or they stagnate and go backwards. If we had of bought Wharton when he moved to Palace he'd still be an unused squad player and woudl not have shown any of th eform he has found at Palace.
One f them, grow up....or do you u think we areGooners favourites for the Champions League?

It’s kinda easy when you own that club too.
I suspect what's really going on here is that the disappointment of finishing 17th in the league is affecting how some fans assess the Europa League win. Had we finished in a 'respectable' position—say, for argument's sake, top 6—I doubt there'd be much noise about the EL as a second tier cup.Second tier cup, my dog's hole.
If it were down to me I'd make it a perma-bannable offence to belittle our European glory. As it is, I'll just have to use the block function. Now away with you.
One f them, grow up....or do you u think we are
Where did he say or even imply that we are?
He's rightly laughing at you for caressing gooner asshole with your tongue. Woolwich are now serial bottlers - I'm sorry if that upsets you.
Don't you think it's really weird that you're posting on a spurs form praising the scum?
Take a break and then come back and apologise, kiddo.
Lookman was always going to be our back up if we could not get one of our higher choices on our list of possibles which included Saviola, Kolo Muani, Leao et al, all of whom (and no disrespect to Lookman) far better players who help take Spurs up a notch.
I doubt now if we will ever sign Lookman as in any future transfer window I think we will either be aiming for far higher rated players for the 'here and now' or player with potential to be so. And Lookman doesn't fit into either category, if he came he would be to fill out our squad but we'd want better in a year or two..
Very happy to have got Simons and Kolo Muani after Kudus this window all of whom were higher up our list of possibles and are far better players.
