hypochondriac

No idea. I haven't watched every Spurs game, though I suspect not all of their new signings have played yet and had an impact.

I don't think we have created much. Hardly anything against Norwich, not a whole lot against West Brom either although we were the better team. Sunderland we had a ton of the ball but how much did we make the keeper work?

Why do you think this has not been the case then?

The spine was never really the problem except for CB. Bit of a shame that you call people who disagree with you fools but to be expected.

Except that the available evidence suggests not. Basically we are left hoping that Clyne and Shaw stay fit at least until January if we want to have a successful season that is better than mediocrity. Big ask IMO.

Except that if we have no threat on the wings we are very slow and predictable and we find it a lot more difficult to score.

Exactly.

Not really in evidence against Norwich.

A decent summary TBF

He isn't a hero but he scored a lot of useful goals last year and offered something different often off the bench. We don't really have that in the squad now.

Bit confused by people grading us an A. Surely A would be absolutely perfect yet most believe we still have some weaknesses so how can you say we have had a perfect Window?

Well if we are relying solely on that tactic then I am worried. We have plan a and that's about it. Losing puncheon and not replacing him is so disappointing because he offered us something different.

Basically I would much rather have had a pacy direct attacking player (look at redmond for instance) than Wanyama. Wanyama may turn out great, but that was our greatest need from this Window imo along with a CB.

For me it isn't about the ability of the players we have signed because no one can argue that they seem decent but it is the type of players that can be called into question. Lovren is a fantastic signing but for the other two I would argue that there were more pressing priorities. It is of course extremely early days but the problem now is that we are sort of forced into starting these two even if it disrupts the team. Breaking up the cork and Morgan combo seems like a bad idea to me and imo Wanyama may be a good player but cm was pretty much our strongest area last year. It will be interesting to see how the striker situation plays out but we had two main weaknesses last year CB and no directness and running with the ball when attacking. Pretty rubbish that we didn't address that glaring weakness and actually made it weaker. As Norwich showed we were completely predictable and easy to defend against.

Good summary which I pretty much agree with. Disappointing not to replace puncheon. A season of 10th-15th awaits.

Spent a lot of money but only addressed one of the two big weaknesses from last year.

I don't consider myself similar to them other than having some views on sfc in common but Avenue saints seems to follow cb myself and Turkish around amongst others.

Ah bearsy you insult with love and that's all I ask.

Do you just follow the likes of myself Turkish and cb around the board? It certainly seems that way.

Oh dear. I don't think you read what I said properly.

Nah don't agree it's not about having just one more. You could argue we could do with another cb but I'm not too fussed about that. We needed pace since before last summer and certainly someone on the right but luckily punch stepped up last year so it wasn't so obvious. Have now lost him and mayuka.

So looks like nothing today then. I'm a little disappointed that we are weaker on the right now than when the window opened and we have very little pace. We have clearly strengthened well in other areas though like cb which appears to be a great buy. I do think if we fail to strengthen on the right it will haunt us.

It does make me lol when people have a moab at the state of the forum. This place has hardly changed in a out ten years apart from the fact you can no longer post tubgirl pictures.

Oh do pipe down avenue saint. Your bitterness is unseemly.

Tbf you make many posts that I would consider boring.
