Tanganga has gone.
Sess is injured.
We never wanted rid of Perisic and he's been great so far in preseason and the early games he's played in.
Sanchez is an ok backup in Ange's system.
It's not quite the disaster you make it out to be.
Plenty of time for Ndombele to still end up in Turkey.
Dier will play for seconds and see out the last year of his contract. Waiting for a sign on fee next summer.
Hugo will end up at Nice.
Hjojberg seems to have been holding out for A.Madrid, though reports then wouldn’t meet Levy’s price.
Perisic & Sess were always going no where. Turns out we now need Sanchez
Vicario/Forster
Udogie/Davies/Sess
VDV/Phillips
Romero/Sanchez
Porro/Emerson
Bissouma/Hjojberg
Sarr/Bentancur/Skipp
Maddison/Lo Celso
Son/Solomon
Richarlison/Johnston
Kulu/Gil
Looks balanced on paper to me. Still think we are lacking a back up to VDV. Perhaps why the links to a loan for Chalobah

Perisic can put a cross in like a
Not sure he’s got 90mins every week in him but a true pro so can come in at any point in a game.

Forgot Perisic add him to the list I gave there and that’s 25 players

OP
In reality only Dier and Ndombele surplus. Neither will get any game time. So may as well just tear up their contracts.
PEH, Perisic and Sanchez are fine as squad players. Sessignon is injured.
It's been a good window. All these areas strengthened Goalie, CB, left back, midfield. What's not to like?
A solid 8/10 window for incoming.
We're in much better shape than we have been of late. It's disappointing that Kane couldn't stick around for another year. That would have made the difference this season. We've had a lot of new players that have seemed to click early, alongside players that are now coming into form. Similar to that lot last season. As always, it will be the strength in depth that will hurt us the most. We'll need a bit of luck on our side for a change.
If we'd got another defender and Orban it would have been a good window, despite the failures of not moving players on and selling Kane. As it stands I don't think the window can be rated more than a 6.
How is Perisic dead wood?
We have no decent back up all around the pitch, GK, DM, CB & CF are all left short in vintage Levy style.
Levy out.

Perisic is a damned good player. Very clever. Just not for 90 mins, maybe one half.
Given how thin the squad is on top rank players, it would be total madness to get rid o f him.

Think we’ll look back at this window more positively in the future. People thinking too short term
Signed our long term Lloris replacement
Signed our long term Vertonghen replacement
Signed our Eriksen replacement - arguably signing of the whole transfer window
Solomon is a decent pick up on a free transfer
Phillips and Veliz could become very good, we don’t know yet
Biggest issue has been struggling to offload unwanted players again. Thankfully a lot of their contracts run out next summer. But we do need to take bigger losses on these players than levy is likely willing to accept
A striker and another CB would’ve been perfect but we’re not going to have a fantastic looking squad in just one window. Fans want a project to buy into but don’t want to accept the pain that comes from the re-build. Think we’re doing well so far with Udogie and Sarr also coming into the mix
Oh and Ange’s no 1 winger/forward target

Billy, Spurs have three goalies, quite a few defensive midfielders. How many more do you want, especially as only one goalie can play every match?
Spurs had a great window.
