Getting a feeling we will be rushing at the end of the window again and ending up with stocking fillers

don't have think it's the time thing that gives everyone that sinking feeling tbh ..... it's more the totally uninspiring list of players that we have been linked with that is a cause for concern.

It's still fucking June.
Looked at another way it's 6 weeks until our first match. So while the window may last until the end of August I think we would like to have signings in before we've played 4 or 5 games. I don't think it is hysterical to want us to get players in early so they have a pre-season to settle with their team mates.

I agree.

I don't understand why we worry about what other teams are doing!!

We have absolutely no control over whom they or we buy!
True but we must concern ourselves with what our competition are doing precisely because they are our competition. To over state if each of the 4 clubs above us and Pool were to spend £200m on world class players and we have a net spend of zero then we will most likely be in trouble.

You mean like Wimmer and Trippier.

I'm sure we are trying to do this, but it's hard with MS.
It's his choice and we wont pursue others in that position until he's decided.
Tough it out!

True but this is not Liverpool who get all the signings rushed through, we at Tottenham do things very differently patience and even more patience are the watchwords.

So are you putting the £200 mill so we can then?

I think the problem is in an ideal world we'd have signed all our targets before preseason to give the team a chance to gel

Not stopping Liverpool or the rest of the big clubs doing business, to have a settled team before the start of the season.

Liverpool did this last season and we finished above them. United have signed Depay, City, Arsenal, Chelsea are yet to confirm a signing, what business are you so worried about?

That is just one position though, I assume we will be making additions to our forward line unless we are totally insane. What are we waiting for there ? It seems like we were played by Martial's team but we need to move on.

Thought it worth mentioning that 2 of L'pool's key signings Ings and Firmino will likely miss the majority of pre-season following their participation in tournaments this summer. Going to take time for them to gel.

Lets get this thread back on topic!
