It's quite a funny read, that's for sure. Who'd have thought it? Spurs fans condemning MP and their club for a lack of signings, yet here we are, the club MP left behind, with a stronger squad than last year. Maybe a notch down on quality, maybe, but so much more depth than we had. Board 1 - 0 Precious Individuals Will keep an update on that score over the next 10 months.

Up until the appointment of Koeman, it was a real WTF situation. No one knew what the plans were. Personally for me, once they got Koeman in I was pretty assured that ambition remained and quite simply cost cutting wasn't in action here. We just had a load of precious individuals, minus their best friend who promised them lies for 2 years. (that goes for supporters as well as players by the way)

Apparently he's negotiating his release from City so he can join Celtic on a free.

Spurs fans are having a mini mentdown, quite a funny watch really.

At least it's not built on Cortese's castle of paper cups though, I mean that would be a disaster.

Appreciated. Wish i worked at Sky with all those hotties... I really, really hope we did beat Poch and Spurs to this guy.........got a feeling they were never in for him though.

Says the right things, but seems like he's been brought up the right way. Obviously has huge respect for Koeman and has clearly been told (IMO) that he will be first choice alongside Fonte. Will be huge for us. Gardos isn't half bad either! So we're a hell of a lot stronger depth wise at CB than we were last year, and about £14m better off. Huge credit to the club.

We trimmed the squad and removed a squad player, that's what's going on.

Credit to the club. In July it all looked a bit WTF, but it's clear to see now that we had a hell of a lot of precious individuals making it impossible for the club to retain them. Their first job was to bring in a manager who can settle things down and put his opinions across. We get an absolute legend of a former player in Koeman, and not a bad manager either. That was a great initial move, which calmed my fears and kind of suggested that they did have an idea - and it wasn't a case of shutting up shop, ambition to a degree remained with that signing. Then came the need to reinvest. We've done it, we've spent £60 million quid in a single window. We've brought in some very good players, in particular Tadic, Forster and Toby are high level additions which retain our ambition. I think the club was in an awful position in July, Cortese made a set-up out of paper cups and he was the one at the bottom. They've stuck to their guns and have done things on their terms and on their time. We've assembled ourselves a competitive squad, probably down a notch in quality in some area's, but deeper and more options. So, well done to the club. Deserve credit for how they've handled this awful summer.

What a frigging bargain that could be. £20m for Lovren, £6.3m for Toby - who's at a similar level.

Great video by the club. Amazing to see what they put together for Jos, and the attitude they showed towards Adam! He must have really ****ed them off.

It really is a pretty top draw addition, let's be honest. I think he's quality, and to see we can get him on perm. as well is even more impressive.

Club trolling the fan base.

That was an opinion. People on other forums who I trust have said these are done, dusted and rubber stamped. Club aren't concerned. The rush of CB's and Gaston out pretty much confirms as much.

Jeez, calm down. Everything is done, just not announced yet.

Maybe you should get your mate to text you?

Great character, you can only like him as a bloke. Will probably be seen as a bit of a cult hero from our NPC promotion team. But the sad reality is that he wasn't really good enough for the PL. But he deserves thanks for his massive goals in our promotion and for being such a positive person behind the scenes. Hope it works out for him at Norwich.

And most importantly, Morgan and Jay retained. Job done.

Jos, Jack Stephens, Gaston out. Mane, Toby - in.

Morgan and Jay are still locked in the cleaning cupboard at Staplewood.

All 3 of those have done a hell of a lot more than Gaston Ramirez at this level

The sky coverage is proper cringe.
