So many getting disgruntled at no LW. If Savinho isn't an option then all we have as an alternative is Lookman.
Who has multiple stints of underwhelming performance in England.

Keep the powder dry and wait for someone of the quality we need. Check again for Savinho in January if we must.
Signing for the sake of it is how we end up with Solomon, Gil, Phillips, Veliz etc.

No . We signed Solomon because he was free. Just to make money.

Opta stats say his prominent position has been LW, where he plays 40% of the time. Sure, 60% of the time he’s not there but that’s the position they reckon he’s played to most for RBL.

It's not just about where he has played, it's how he fits into our squad and Frank's options.

He has to be central simply because we have nobody else who can play central who is creative otherwise, and we need someone there.

I think playing him out on the left wouldn't be the best way to use him at Spurs, and the fact we tried to get Savinho means the club must have been planning to use Simons centrally.

Maybe when Kulu comes back, Simons might move left, but Simons is a far better 10 than Kulu is.

A big problem with us at the moment, is a lack of passing and creativity centrally.

Correct, people just want to continually move the goalposts because they want to be permanently miserable, the narrative now is that we needed a LW and we've let Frank down bearing in mind people were calling for a new coach like Frank to come in to actually coach the fucking players as their collective levels dropped last year.

Simons
Kudus
Palhinha
RKM
Tel
Danso
Takai

*Romero stayed and signed new deal

He's got more than enough there for a top 5 push IMO

8/10 window, well done to Levy, Lange, Vinai and Paratici - arguably the best window we've had in the ENIC era, would have liked more but keep going in this direction please.

We don't have time to bring Tel through and Johnson is useless unless he taps one in and still useless if he does nothing but tap one in and we still get beat, with him contributing to that loss because he does absolutely nothing else but tap one in, to help the team.

Why do people think we're in the position to be developing players this season???

We're in the CL.

We get injuries and have to rotate with circa 60 games ahead.

We need ready-made, ready-to-go in this window for positions that are underperforming.

Tbh I’m much more confident about Tel and Odobert shining in the CL than the PL just because of our draw.

There’s a bunch of games for them to start and rip it up tbh.

We can go full strength in the prem most weeks

I said there would be no more signings. We are hamstrung with major cash flow issues and selling teams want at least some of the money up front. Just look at the last accounts. It's shocking how little cash we have and how much money we owe on transfers.

How much has been wasted you mean over last 5 years. Just been dippers net spend is still less than ours even after Isaac and wirtz signings
