Agree with most of that. However I think Dempsey will now inexplicably lose all ability to take set pieces. Spurs seems to have that effect on players.
I dunno there don. Although I think the players we have brought in are good (especially Dembele) I just don't see how you can justify selling VDV and bringing in Dempsey.
Overall, I think I got my hopes up that Levy was finally going to show the clubs ambition by splashing in to the market big time.. I guess that's why I'm disappointed.

We have bought solid proven premiership performers and a goal keeper and defender who are world class. Ok losing rafa is a blow but the fella wanted to move and unlike the ratboy he left with dignity.
These signings have improved the squad and now there are goals all across the team.
A win today is a must or the grumblies will have a field day
COYS
AFCON's after the january window isnt it ?
as things stand it is naughton covering both rb and lb, although i cant find any record of him actually playing lb. weve no real cover for RM either.
Vertonghen can play lb
===============
means disrupting the cb partnership though.
Yeh a win today is a must boys, get the optimism back again and hopefully a good atmosphere at the lane.
Nice article Don, enjoy the game
In Dempsey, Ade and Sigs we got 3 players that scored almost 50 goals last season for under 20m.
Whatever happens it won't be boring

Don,
I agree with some of what you said, although i'm not sure Vertonghen is anywhere near world class.
As you may recall, my biggest gripe last season was our goalkeeper issues, and now we have Lloris my prayers have now been answered so i cant be too disappointed.
I did actually suggest Dempsey this time last year, funnily enough, but it kind of fell on death ears. Maybe Levy does read these boards afterall..
I WAS HAPPY LAST NIGHT....
right up until...mout didn't happen...kane went....
i said last night...i'da scored it a 7.5/10 if mout arrived...
revised too a 6/10 now.....
still not addressed the striker issue.
and have lost playmaker/tempo setting player in the middle.....

Chicken I personally think Vertongeh is awesome mate, let's hope he lives up to the hype. Yes i remember you not rating Friedal and although i disagreed with you last season, i could see it was time to get in a young world class keeper and that we now have
Bales left foot, cheers mate

Don,
I was watching the game on Saturday & i thought Vertonghen had a bit of a dodgy start, so i was like, ohh shiiiiiiiz this bloke is going to be a disaster, but then he recovered well & played really well for the remaining 80-odd minutes, so i piped down & was telling people i knew he was going to be a hit.
Don
Good article, no problem with any of your posts last nights, you are a passionate fella like myself. You are as entitled to your opinion as much as the the next poster. We all post things time to time that maybe we regret later. Keep posting mate, your one of the best on here. 3 points today and the season will truely be up and running.
Another thing... where does this leave Thudd??? Surely the threat of being told he could leave will kick him into gear to get fit and prove he can be the creative playmaker many believe he can be?
Give us Bale next summer.

Tell me about it..
I know i have made my opinion on AVB quite clear but even i'll admit my article titled AVB OUT after the game on Saturday was a bit too far.

Good article Don....
Well after last nights transfer antics I think we look a lot stronger defensively...We have improved our keeper, defence and our midfield is stronger physically.
My only concerns is we look like we have lost our creativity...I hope I am proved wrong this season!
Chicken
No problems mate.
