Don I'm not totally convinced with the transfer window
For one we let a striker go without bringing anyone in, that has annoyed me, why leave us with 3 (it may as well be two with Pav) I hope this means that Gio gets some gametime this season
You all know how much I love Gio.
Wilson, Bentley, Jenas, Palacious, Crouch, Hutts all out, which leaves us short in the team I know that we need to only register 25 players and we had 29 players in the squad.
Adey and Parker - Yes great players to bring in, I'm hoping that none of these pick up injuries!
All in all it was an average window!.. it could have been better with Cahill and another striker!
Oh.. why didn't we offer £15 KNOWING we were getting £15 million in?
Makes no sense
Why didn't we sign earlier? Simple really, we were in an unusual position this time of having far too many on our books already to still pay wages too, meaning we had way more than the 25.
Bring a player in and what would that have done...ruined competition for place. Lets say you were one of 5 CB's, and Cahill was bought as you say ages ago. Probably all of them would be then thinking, "whats he doing here, I wonder if its me out the door.?"...not good, not good at all. Teams with 5 CB's plus a promising lad in Caulker, can't really say they 'need' another one, not without telling one they're surplus, then you're not getting the best from him. Cahill hinged on one leaving, looks like Bassong in this case. If we'd bought him anyway, we'd have six now, and you can't have 6 for one position these days can you.
Its not a case of buying earlier, this window was more about selling, that's what should have been done earlier.
Spurs are apparently Europe's 12th richest club or even the world's I'm not sure and less well off teams would want to exploit that by inflating prices just as we would to richer teams. It's something Levy must guard against. A lot goes on behind the scenes about which we know nothing.
I think the transfer funds are for January,with Leonardo joining.
I hope we can last that long, expect us to be mid table or better
