I'm sorry to have offended, sir!
It's just my opinion. It shouldn't count for much.

It's just my opinion. It shouldn't count for much.
In my opinion this is where the squad should stand after a good window. Is it possible? Not in a million years, but whatever...
Outgoings:
- Ben Davies
- Yves Bissouma
- Rodrigo Bentancur (50/50 as to we should sell him, because I think he's a good player, but we can improve on him for sure, while getting respectable bids)
- Bryan Gil
- Manor Solomon
- Heung-Min Son
- Richarlison
- Alejo Veliz
- Brennan Johnson (needs to go but won't)
Loans (of players who have a chance to make it at Spurs):
- Min-Hyeok Yang
- Will Lankshear
- Alfie Devine
- Mikey Moore
- Jamie Donley
Incomings (of players who haven't become official yet):
- Morgan Gibbs-White
- Palhinha
- A striker to compete with Solanke (Sesko is the dream, but obviously we're not getting him)
- A LB to compete with Udogie
Vicario/ Kinsky
Porro / Spence - Romero/ Danso/ Dragusin - Van De Ven/ Vuskovic/ Takai - Udogie/ New LB
Palhinha/ Gray - Bergvall/ Sarr
Kudus/ Kulusevski - MGW/ Maddison - Tel/ Odobert
Solanke/ New ST

None of us know until the season starts, but one can only hope that was the case.
A friend of mine who is not Spurs(wanker), thinks we will be one of the surprise packages of the season.
I hope he is right, but i don't share his optimism at the moment.
On the other hand i'm Spurs, optimism isn't really my thing.

Meh... The gap is a legit concern; but we were routinely hearing the same kind of crap when we were finishing above them... Ditto LFC.
Meanwhile our "nearly there" signings and links get written off as a myth; yet AFC's (Gyko and a mere "maybe" such as Eze) get considered 'in the bag' even if they've been dragging on all trf window...... Even Zubemendi dragged on all the way back to failure to complete in January.
(Ditto Man U in the case of Mbeumo...... I mean has that fucker finally held up a Man U kit yet? .....Spurs fans were declaring him a done deal a month ago! Same as Gyko.... Still haggling away; not complete.)
It's the double-standards that truly grind.
We need a forward rich and solanke are not good enough for a cl and prem campaign
I think it' s more like nobody wants them.
Certainly not on the wages they want.
That's the biggest problem with playing in the richest league in the world. Extremely hard to flog mediocre players.
We should stop signing mediocre players.
Maddison, Kulu... Hopefully MGW... Berg as he continues to grow.
JP not perfect but we need a player with steel to free up the other 2...... The same physicality, but a bit more on the ball ability would be ideal.
.......The opposite of Wharton basically (who ironically is the name on most fan's lips).
Imagine how pissed off Woolwich fans are of the window Liverpool are having. The far greater ambition thing is absolutely hypothetical until the window closes.
I'll never be jealous of that trophyless rapist enabling husk of a club and not should any real Spurs fan.
Agree! I'd test Villa with a 65m bid for Watkins and Chelsea with the same bib for Jackson.
I know Jackson divides opinion, but in mine I think this boy has so much potential to become a top, top number 9 and under Frank I think this could happen?
I suspect that the truth is somewhere in between as much as I've bemoaned that we haven't added much to a team that finished 17th
5th to 17th in one season suggests an anomaly and that the players were underperforming rather than shite.
But there's other variables like other teams underperforming in the season we can 5th and over performing when we came 17th.
Its going to be fascinating to see a) how Frank lines us up and b) how the players perform under his system.
I'm cautiously optimistic that last season was a complete anomaly but we still definitely need reinforcements.
I'm not convinced Palhinha is a better midfielder than Bissouma or Bentancur.
Of course he is ffs
