Finally a sensible post on how it has all played out and how true Spurs fans ( I'm definitely one of them ) felt.
Lesser of two evils so to speak and it all turned out as good as it possibly could.

This was a fascinating read.The Pikey's point of view on Kudus.
I didn’t realize that lot were literate.
No but seriously though....
Where are the fucking signings??
Where are the fucking signings??
Salah is a diving, cheating cunt
2012 Vertonghen, Lloris, Dembele, Dempsey, Adebayor
2015 Son, Toby Trippier and err Wimmer and Njie but still.
Since then, not so much.

We've been declared to have 'won' the trf window on a few occasions...... Just like Everton were when Moshiri went spamming... And the Chavs every time they burn a few more 100m........
Rarely do the outcomes befit the hype.

Ins
Tel - £29.8 million
Danso - £21 million
Luka Vuskovic - £12 million
Outs
Højbjerg - £17 million
What da problem is?
Honestly wouldn’t be surprised to find out the same money is moving between both clubs American owners and when you dig far enough enough back, Clearlake and the Kroenke’s are connected or owned by the same people
To be fair I do not understand everyone's obsession with Eze. I think he is a very good player but not a winger, he is so much better when he is given free reign as a number 10 hence why he was even better after Olise left. I do not see him as a Frank style player.
Summer 1994
Jurgen Klinsmann - £2 million
Ilie Dumitrescu - £2.6 million
Gheorghe Popescu - £2.9 million
Or unlike us they aren’t scared to trade with other big clubs?
To paraphrase Yoda, “Transfer windows do not make one great. Good coaching and patience, though…”
Today is 1 July, most of the players involved in internationals in June will arrive back to Spurs over next few days (possibly next Monday for some) to meet those players who were not involved in internationals and came back in late June.
So I'd guess will be talking to a lot of players this week to see if any want to move on, have demands on playing which Frank will not meet, and, on a positive note, those who are delighted to work with Frank and just want to know where in his team he wants them to play.
So this week, behind closed doors, might be a fairly decisive week to be followed by some transfer activity.
Of course players such as Gray, Moore, Tel and Odobert ,might not arrive back for a week or two after their internationals. But this week Frank will have met and discussed the future with vast majority of players.

Agreed, in hindsight we sold Elvis and bought Brotherhood Of Man . But Bale wanted out and only Eriksen worked out as hoped for ,I think we were unlucky with injury plagued Lamela though
They trade a lot and do deals to help each other too often imo
Usually, for most if not all cases, it is a desire to sign 4 or more first-team players in one lump, then the realisation that adding 4+ strangers into a team of 11 doesn't particularly work very well in the short term.
