All 3 of the other top 4 teams have now strengthened. Whereas we have taken a significant step back so far.

Obviously we will sign players, but the club have known for months that CB’s are needed and yet we haven’t signed even a single one yet.

But this happens quite a lot these summers. Everyone panics when not much is done..get told not to. Then gets to deadline and not much has changed..hopefully be different this time but who knows!

Tbh, we are going to take a while to get our transfers done. We have just had a change in ownership and we have a lot of issues in terms of contracts and deadwood. For me, the most pressing concern is James and Mount. They need to be pinned down to new contracts before anything else as otherwise we could drop the ball on them like we did AC and Rudi. 

That said, I am impressed by Spurs work, they're improving the holes they have quickly and at low cost. Just out of interest are there still people out there that believe Conte was the main man directing transfer strategy in 2017?

people laugh at me (and it certainly is not the only reason, not even the main one) BUT that gorgeous new monster stadium DEFFO helps spuds pull players

fuckers

Of course it does. People who don't see this can't be looking. 🙁

We really are going to have Spurs finish above us aren’t we?

I am not going to wish that on the bloke (unless he is actually truly guilty of course, then lock him up!)

Yep, if and when he is found guilty will be time enough for the world to show what it thinks of that behaviour.

Spurs get a good player for a good price but Bayern getting Gravenberch for just £16.7m is one that really sticks in my claw.

 

 

Craw. 🙂

He’s a witness in that case I thought. One of his entourage did the alleged assault.

Is this so? If it is then he should have been on our list .

Not sure what the fuck we are doing or waiting for. 

Thought it was "Go time"?

Bit annoying as I had suggested Perisic, Spence and Bissouma as possible pick ups for Chelsea this summer and it looks like all will end up at Spurs.

It's good transfer business by them and they look like they're being as prompt as possible to give Conte no reason's to kick off just yet.

However I would have been looking at all of the above options as squad players here. Perisic and Spence would have been superb rotational options at wing back for us, but I don't believe either is better than Chilwell or James in the wing back roles. At Spurs they are likely both going in as first choice.

Bissouma similarly. I feel he has the potential to make a step up but I wouldn't look at him as a game changing signing. For us he'd be a smart pick up for the price to allow us to transition away from Kante but also still present us the opportunity to move for a bigger target in the future like Rice or Bellingham.

I'm not prepared to compare and contrast teams until the season is here and window is closed. If our transfer activity has been deemed inefficient and ineffective by that point then there will be questions being asked, but I like the sound of some of the players we are being linked with in defence and attack and really the only name that seems to come up for the midfield is Rice anyway. Hopefully we can have 3 or 4 new faces in by pre season and some positivity flowing back through the club.

Preseason is in three weeks so doubtful. Kounde will be injured and god knows what we are doing with Dembele. And Spurs have something we don't, wingback depth and cover. Reguilon, Peresic, Davies, Emerson, and Spence. 

They are on course to finish above us and comfortably too.
