Definitely the best transfer window i can remember and whilst not perfect, it was very close to it. Some key points for me are:

- We didn't sell/loan any players that would have been a part of the main squad this season
- We re-signed a multi-trophy winning living club legend who has the potential to take us to the next level
- We plugged the key holes on the squad and the two most important ones (DM and RB) early on in the window
- We not only kept, but managed to integrate, Ndombele into our starting XI
- We got some crazy good value deals, Doherty and Vinicius being particularly impressive IMO
- We now have an almost 100% complete squad - i think we are 1 x World Class CB and a backup DM away from a perfect squad now, which is amazing really

Massive Kudos to Levy, Jose and all involved and a massive thanks to Hercs, Trix and all the other ITKs.

Got more than I wanted for and much more than I thought we would!
The mood in here has been great throughout, apart from that one day of crazyness where @Archibald&Crooks (foolishly) briefly gave us our freedom.
As well as probably having the best window we've ever had, we arguably had the best window in the league, in terms of quality bought and positions filled.
Really optimistic for the season, moreso because of recent performances too.

Top work to all involved, both at the club and on here, the ITK has been great.

All whilst missing out on CL this season. Kudos to everyone involved.

He has the same non-HG status as Davies so not sure we'd be ableto get him in the Europa squad.

I'm not sure that is the case, after someone posted this in the David Brooks thread, that the rules changed in 2012, which was too late for Ben Davies, but will make it okay for Rodon.

I honestly want a bonus / post-mortem episode of "All or Nothing" surrounding this window. I would KILL to have been a fly on the wall through all this.

As fast as the wonderful ITK was coming in from various sources, I can only imagine what it was like behind closed doors.

Great window... @Trix said it perfectly, everyone should be happy.

For what it's worth, I heard we were extremely close to Skriniar on Saturday and it sounds like Inter pulled out when they couldn't get a replacement in at the right price. I think with the changes in the clubs structure and method of doing things (wider range of targets) it has become more difficult to provide the same level of reliable information as it was a couple of years ago. With that in mind, I'm not planning to post any more nuggets of info - unless I get something extremely clear cut and 'done', I'd prefer to just be able to talk about Spurs without anyone reading too much into it. So if everything posted from now on can be considered a fan's opinion that would be much appreciated and the Goat will be used for everything else.

Thanks to all of you over the years for understanding when things don't turn out as they expect, and to all the mods for keeping things in line. I'm glad that one of the very last posts I was able to give was this one, on the Tuesday just before it broke!

Today is actually the first day since he left that I've had any optimism at all that we might complete a deal for Bale. I figured that we'd never pay up but it seems like there's a chance, however slim...

Appreciate all the info over the years mate, pleased you'll be using the Goat still.

I'm not sure that affects eligibility, it isn't mentioned in the article.

25 pounds donated. Thanks to all the ITKs keeping us updated throughout the window.

Here's hoping to a good season and a trophy with the season ending in the year 1.

Superb window and going into it with reasonably low expectations made it even better. It’s the first window in ages where there was a clear strategy unfolding successfully and the Bale snd Reguillon deals are jaw droppingly brilliant.

An Arsenal colleague just confessed to me he believes we have a really good shout at challenging this year and he hates us

Kudos to Daniel Levy, who heeded Josè advice and took advantage, or get left behind. Without Josè we could not of done the dual Real Madrid deals. He played a big part with his links and friendships at boardroom level there. Kudos to DL listening, stepping back a lot (though still heavily involved) and let his new charges, including Birch engineer things. Do not in any way underestimate Steve Hitchen’s influence. COYS!!!
Really so positive to hear Herc, these are the changes and moves we've always wanted Levy/ENIC to make, now he has i don't see any reason why fans can complain at them, we have a world class stadium, training ground, manager and now squad and football set-up at board level, its all in place to win things now.

Interesting about Hitchen, he seemed non-interested in the AON documentary but clearly he's good at what he does so fair play :)

Thanks to @Hercules @Trix @Tottenhamboys and all the ITK's during our best ever TW.

Buzzing. COYS.

Not sure if that's more frustrating in some ways, that were close.
If that is the case, I think we'll go back in for him in January and Inter will have more time to get a replacement for him.
