Meh, smashing their wage structure to sign a player that doesn't want to play for them is bad business.

Its foolhardy to judge a window before a ball has been kicked. I'm sure PSG thought signing Neymar was a genius move and Barca using the money to sign Countinho and Dembele was widely lauded. When we signed Ibra, Pogba and Mkhitaryan some folks were tipping us to win the title. Point is that history is written by the winners.
Even so, they've signed three players that are punts. Ndombele is one of those players that everyone seems to think is the next greatest player based on a few youtube videos of him playing in Europe's 6th ranked league. I'm not sure what Lo Celso has achieved to warrant the hype? If he's bought in to replace Eriksen then great. Sessegnon is a prospect that no matter what happens will be slated by many because of his poor technical quality and playing style.
They all might turn out great but I've seen far too many of these type of signings flop to start having a meltdown.
You know what isn't bad business? Holding out for Dybala's position at Juventus to become completely untenable and leveraging our decision to pull out of the deal to lower his overall price.Tweet

What he said unfortunately @Classical Mechanic@Classical Mechanic you are looking like an utter bellend now.

I’d agree if we weren’t likely to overspend on the next ‘Fred’ signing. Dybala was a must imo; he’s an upgrade on talent. It makes no sense to give the likes of Mata & Young extensions, then wonder why decent players want to hold us to ransom.Tweet

It’s baffling that this has been allowed to go on; its to a point now where I honestly don’t get excited about anything to do with this club anymore.Astonishingly good window from Spurs. People need to wake up and realise we’re in a terrible mess.
Just keep poking them. It’s fun to watch.Lot of emotional babies in this thread.
I feel that a lot of us still like them, others have an issue with one or two posters.You lot used to love spuds. What changed?
Yup..A bit premature, should have waited till the window ended.
And the cycle will repeat. DoF promise, getting signings early promise, no value in the market, keefy defending woody, rivals keep getting stronger, new manager gone by next ChristmasI’d agree if we weren’t likely to overspend on the next ‘Fred’ signing. Dybala was a must imo; he’s an upgrade on talent. It makes no sense to give the likes of Mata & Young extensions, then wonder why decent players want to hold us to ransom.
Not signing Dybala will result in a wild overspend elsewhere in the future knowing our club & that’s the worry for me.

It’s worse than a terrible mess imo, we [& maybe chelsea] have gotten worse vs last season where others have gotten better or at least stood still while already having an advantage.
OgS will be gone by christmas.
I know it's probably hard but yourself @InLevyITrust and @SquishyMcSquish need to not take threads and comments like this so seriously. You know full well they're aimed at one individualSincerely hope this becomes the most ridiculed thread in the history of redcafe. Hoping that Mr Levy does a lot of business today.
Yeah it's crazy how one poster has had such a profound impact on a forum with thousands of people in it!I know it's probably hard but yourself @InLevyITrust and @SquishyMcSquish need to not take threads and comments like this so seriously. You know full well they're aimed at one individual
Mr LevySincerely hope this becomes the most ridiculed thread in the history of redcafe. Hoping that Mr Levy does a lot of business today.
Agree with this, caf is slowly but steadily going into rawk mode. If you're overly critical of players there are "are you even united supporter type of post" meaning you have to have blind faith in players and managers (rawk version of closet manc). People thinking that players would come to united just because we're united and not realising that history of the club has feck all with players choosing their next move. Making fun of other clubs in almost rude matter, not by footy banter but more as ridiculing them while those clubs are miles ahead of this version of united. And thinking that liverpool will get found out because of VAR as if they've cheated their way to 97 points in the season or thinking that injuries to one of the player up front would make such a difference when in reality they don't depent on the individuals but on the system which klopp implemented over the years.Sincerely hope this becomes the most ridiculed thread in the history of redcafe. Hoping that Mr Levy does a lot of business today.
Yeah of course, doesn't mean it shouldn't be ridiculed for it just being in existence.Mr Levy
People realize this isn't a serious thread right?
Fair enoughYeah of course, doesn't mean it shouldn't be ridiculed for it just being in existence.
Yeah it’s going to be real fun watching us try to close the gap on our rivals this season. Real fun.Just keep poking them. It’s fun to watch.
And quickly. It's like 15 hours old.First time I’ve looked at this thread but by god has it aged poorly
I think you're better off just doing a Glaston and stop posting till it blows over at this stage.Thread's like a magnet for manlets.
Nah. But you lot losing your shit every time we lose possession will be a laugh. Enjoy your misery.Yeah it’s going to be real fun watching us try to close the gap on our rivals this season. Real fun.
Yeah good oneNah. But you lot losing your shit every time we lose possession will be a laugh. Enjoy your misery.
If they actually manage to pull this shit off, I'm placing the blame directly on this thread.Tweet

Ndombele, Clarke, Sessegnon, (Lo Celso or Dybala) and kept a hold of Eriksen, Rose and Alderweireld. Seems a great window from Spurs if they pull all that off, Levy backing Pochettino, sensible business considering Pochettino is one of the best managers Spurs have had. Has to win something now, it's no longer a 'project' if all this goes through.If they sign Lo Celso and Sessegnon, that would be a very good transfer window for them. Think spurs fans will be very happy with that business.
You didn't? You were listening then. Keep your fingers in you ears.Yeah good one
Edit: just like the season before with people telling us moaners that it’s only pre-season etc, didn’t hear you piping up in December. Suspect it’ll be the same this time round.
Probably the best window of any team in the PL, especially if they get also get Dybala. If they manage to sign all their targets, I will be more pessimistic about our season. Considering how much Arsenal and Tottenham have strengthened, I'm not sure the three signings we have so far will be enough to secure a spot in the Champions League this season.
