S-Clarke Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I smell a slight porky, as I'm sure Toby was on their list to tick off.
Saint Charlie Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 (edited) Reading between the lines it sounds like he has similar feelings to Peace around the way Spurs do things. Hopefully the likes of Cedric, Clasie, Van Dijk and Juanmi show what they can do and if all are successful then we will be doing well and it will be looked upon as a good window. One of the lowest net spends if not the lowest in the league, so a good window financially too. One negative: our GK backup is still awful and that could yet bite us on the arse....again.

Cheeky Monkey Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 Put victor and sadio on new 4 yr deals with £36m release fees and salary hike. Put the future gossip and unsettling to bed and let the players do the talking on the pitch !!
Dan Johnson Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I smell a slight porky, as I'm sure Toby was on their list to tick off. I wonder if it would have been Toby or VVD & caulker or Toby AND VVD & no caulker. Either way I think we have 4 CB all that can play at premiership level

I am not sure that you can just change someone's contract of employment without their consent - other than that - great plan!
CB Saint Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 Worried about vvd - absolutely shiote attempt at keepy uppies in the clip. I thought he was supposed to be good on the ball.

doc oli Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 a none-too-subtle dig at the 'tactics' used in Europe - 'there was a return to passing football against Norwich'
CB Fry Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 It's a shame he didn't reference Toby as a box not ticked, but we probably wouldn't have signed Caulker (or VVD) as a result so not really appropriate I suppose. Other than that it feels like another strong window to me. Or, as forum expertise will have it, clueless idiot Les gets lucky again just like clueless idiot Les got lucky last season and the one before that and the one before that.
iansums Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I think we made a small profit on transfers over this window, not sure of the exact figures.
JxgrSaint Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I think we made a small profit on transfers over this window, not sure of the exact figures. Not sure if completely correct, but...

I'm hoping he doesn't up and leave. Some of the idiots on here beggar belief.
Sour Mash Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I wouldn't say it's been a great transfer window, still a bit of a blind spot on 2nd choice keeper and attacking/creative midfield contribution in my eyes.
Daft Kerplunk Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 I wouldn't say it's been a great transfer window, still a bit of a blind spot on 2nd choice keeper and attacking/creative midfield contribution in my eyes. Attacking midfielders are fairly hard to come by though these days. Teams largely seem to operate with central midfielders including the more defensively minded and more forwards, just as we did on Saturday with what looked like a 4-2-1-2-1 formation.
DuncanRG Posted 1 September, 2015 Posted 1 September, 2015 If we kept Alderweireld and signed VVD (and the latter fulfils his potential) I think we probably would have had the strongest set of centre halves in the league. Certainly not far off it, since the Stones and Ramos deals didn't go through

Sure, they don't grow on trees, and maybe Juanmi will develop, but I feel it was our biggest downfall last season and with time to prepare, a decent scouting network and money in the bank, we'd have a good crack at solving it.
