    Assuming Spurs don't do a load of deals in the next 18 hours, it's surprising there is so much criticism of the failure to buy/sell.
    Surely continuity is a good thing when the team has been so successful over the past few years?
    Why do "experts" assume a team has to make signings every window to progress rather than carry on with what they've got?

    If we get rid of Rose it will have been a great window.

    HE slagged off the team and club 2 days before the season started, claimed he weren't paid enough (even though he just signed a new contract 6 month earlier while saying how happy he was was and how he looked at Pochettino as a father figure) and disrespected new signings.

    Now he complain he suffered depression cos of spurs?
    Pathetic, self serving twattishness of the highest order.
    He is totally and soley responsible for screwing up his spurs career so he should STFU and clean up the mess HE made.

    The man is a two faced, greedy, lying spineless **** bag and the sooner he leaves the better.

    The only differences between him and Campbell is
    a) he won't go on a free
    b) he aint joining arsenal
    but that's only cos he didn't get the chance.

    Walker left but never slagged us off ... shame Rose has no class.

    To an extent I agree. Although our CM options are weak, hence why I’ve wanted ideally two of them this window.

    Providing no outgoings, if we can still get Grealish and also someone marquee like Ndombele/ Brozovic/ SMS (dreaming there)/ someone that becomes available late, then I’ll be well happy. A few extra players elsewhere would be nice but as I’ve said countless times, CM is all care about.

    if I was a chairman and Levy rang me, I'd tell him to **** off before he could say

    'and a packet of Wotsits?'

    Can we match Arsenal for wages though?

    Their project is further down the road than ours.

    Because we need strengthening? I don't want a whole new starting 11 but we have some glaring voids in our team that need plugging...we didn't win anything therefore there is room for improvement.

    CM for a start

    1-2 players that could challenge the current first 11 is all most fans wanted. I don’t think that’s unreasonable or unrealistic.

    Exactly...it's reasonable without suggesting we don't appreciate the value of a settled team. It's all about the quality of the addition.

    Why are Pool changing their team even though they had a fantastic season?

    Happy transfer deadline day everyone! It’s 9am here in Tokyo, we’re 8 hours ahead and I can confirm we haven’t signed anyone yet! <laugh>
    Just had chance to catch up with the last 6 or 7 pages on here.
    I’ve missed so much transfer news! (with other clubs anyway <laugh>).

    Has Kovacic signed elsewhere?
    Rose going to Shalke on deadline day?
    Grealish potentially not joining?
    Some random PSG left back?

    Wtf is this ****?

    Don’t waste your time watching those pricks on SSN all day hoping for exciting news from Tottenham.

    This has got Toby out, and maybe 1 in written all over it.
    And probably another valuable squad player sold randomly at the last minute.

    Thfc Social media is going to explode like never before if today is a massive disappointment. I hope Levy is ready for the potential backlash.

    Did they announce a contract improvement for Skipp?
    I think they’ve been saving that for deadline day

    Kovacic gone to Chelsea on loan. Hopefully they haven’t got an option to buy.

    Rose going on loan to Schalke

    Toby still being heavily linked with Man Utd

    Kovacic to Chelsea? Wow. I’m amazed that we haven’t gone in for him on loan, at least.

    I am very intrigued to see who we have planned for CM next season. We don’t appear to really want anyone, do we? Even Grealish has stalled. Can’t be that bothered!

    Kovacic to chavski as part of the Courtois deal so we couldn't have him. I hope for his sake the chavs bench is more comfortable than the bench at RM.

    Sometimes I worry for the future of football, it is no longer about building a good side and playing attractive football, weakening the opposition is becoming more and more part and parcel of the game. Perhaps all comments should be moved to the Politics Thread.

    So, how many new contract annoucements will there be this afternoon when it’s looking more and more likely that we aren’t gonna sign anyone? <laugh>
