Sour grapes? Lol just laughing at how we need 1st team players because we're so poor yet you don't and the Massive difference last season..

Anything to justify not affording new players wink

Have you not been talking about issues at the back on here recently, and needing someone new there, especially if Toby goes?

That young blonde white kid is Oliver Skipp. If we signed a player that played as well as him in preseason we'd be dousing the dippers latest candle light vigil in celebration of 40pts being in the bag.

He is 17! The star of the next world cup.

Golden from City I think will be that man

Funny thing our best player of pre season has been a 17 year old Cm/Am

Rumours about Lewis Cook from Bournemouth (the only England captain to have lifted a World Cup apart from Bobby Moore).

Forgive me while I try and contain my excitement.

You should be excited - or at least pleased - if the rumours are true; Lewis Cook will definitely make the full England side and I reckon he's at least as good as Jack Grealish who you lot have have been pursuing all summer!

Yep I'd agree Cook would be a decent signing, 21, English and bags of potential so not sure why the negativity? It would be a lot better than signing no one IMO.

We can try to deny it but let's not kid ourselves here, signing no one this transfer window would be a huge mistake after all the brave talk, if for nothing else than it will massively undermine Poch's statement of intent. He'd have been better off keeping his mouth shut tbh.

As I keep saying - we're not short of young attacking talent. We're lacking some steel and solidity at the back of midfield and in defence that's our biggest problem. We need to get back to having an established solid spine in the team.

Poch makes a bold statement, basically saying exactly what Spurs fans have been thinking for years and hinting that if the right things aren't done, his future at Spurs might be in doubt. Very soon afterwards he signs a new 5 year contract which to many fans sends out a message that Levy has agreed with Poch's statement and this transfer window will be different.

You can't build expectation up like that then spectacularly fail to deliver, I know so MANY fans who are pissed off about this now including me. I'm running out of excuses to make to all of my other club supporting friends. So either Poch was talking bks all along to get a pay rise or Levy has reneged on whatever he promised Poch leaving the fans high and dry. Recent reports that Poch's initial statement had been "misinterpreted" are just farcical attempts at arse covering because they know they've screwed up, fking disaster is right!

Agree 100% poch and the fans have been stiched up by levy. No excuses he's failed miserably.

What he does well he does really well like the stadium what he does bad though he does spectacularly bad. He needs and deserves to be called out for it. Got away with it for to long

I'm not so sure. We have no idea what Levy promised Poch or indeed what Poch is after.

It could be that a £25m Grealish or Lewis Cook-type player (Young, English, Raw Talent) is what Poch wants and in fact asked for - and with the window not yet closed we're jumping the gun in assuming that it won't happen.

And lets not forget Levy has had the project of a lifetime (to very tight deadlines) to deal with meantime.

There are just too many variables for me personally to go aiming any bullets at DL at this point in time.
