Yeah you could be right. Small cash outlay from Levy and a couple of players off the books sounds pretty much up Levy's street. With little if any input from the manager.

The only positive right now is that in one week's time this tortuous affair will be over and done with.
I used to have confidence at this point that the club would have something up it's sleeve, but that died a few years ago, we now know full well that Levy will happily see the squad left woefully short in key areas.
Other clubs do struggle and fail with transfer targets, no other club makes almost every transfer deal they do such pathetically hard work, one at a time drawn out four week affairs are the business as usual for this club. You'd think left backs and attacking midfielders were an endangered species with the way Spurs are struggling to identify any.
The lb spot in particular, would be ideal for one of Lange's supposed speciality punts on a spreadsheet identified kid, but instead we're just gonna go with nobody?

Fair enough!

Can we have a rule that we do not start the January Transfer thread until the last week of January 2026.
Fair enough!
We’ve sold Son and not replaced him
Kulu out for another 6 months
Madison our for season
Lose Sarr for potentially 8 games to African nations
Bissouma not in managers plans
3 full backs at the club
And we’ve signed 2 players .

No I really did not miss the point.
Even if there is PSR room and we can do all the deals, in the end of the day ALL THE RESOURCES ARE STILL limited. And that is undeniable fact. Number of spots in the team is limited. Amount of money is limited (yes, in fact for all teams). Human working hours are limited.
So they have to be allocated according to priority. CB is not priority, cause right now we first need a starting winger, not to think what happens if X or Y get injured- that is secondary. Literally our first sub CB (Danso) is much more solid option than our 2nd starting winger next to Kudus. First lets put together strong starting XI before we talk about "what happens if".
No need to look here until September 2nd then.
Nobody whatsoever knows what will happen between now and the end of this window
I think the one likelihood is that it brings significant change of transfer policy, because whatever we want to call our approach., it just seems flawed and incoherent at every level.
It's not a 10/10 window - but it's far from a disaster. Spurs have improved the starting 11.
Romero signed a new deal - We all expected him to leave.
Danso is quality rotation at CB.
Kudus looks like a decent first 11 signing.
Palhinha looks like a decent first 11 signing.
We haven't seen enough of Tel to judge him. 30m a lot to pay for a player that isn't first team ready, but if he is given the chance to get some games under his belt, I think we will start to see why Spurs signed him.
Losing Son and Kane was never going to be easy. Spurs aren't able to buy ready-made replacements of that quality - they have to buy young and develop.
Still think we'll make about 2 signings that most people will be happy with.
Or Woolwich would have nipped in, bettered the payment terms and signed him instead....
Nah. This is Daniel. He'll make the bid knowing full well it won't be accepted.
You cannot look at our work in a vacuum. The PL powerhouses have spend big and strengthen in huge numbers.
All these people poo-pooing Sav and Eze are gonna look pretty dumb when we add Isak too!
Danso and Tel were January signings.
For the sake of accounting, they are 25/26 signings.
Either you add them to last seasons spend, which was pretty large considering £65m for Solanke and £40m for Gray. Or you add them to this season.
Given the actual transfers were completed in this financial year, then it's this season.
wouldn't sign
