Yeah, the lack of transfer activity hasn't bothered me at all for the reasons you summed up perfectly. Everyone else (read not Spurs-fans) seems to make a huge deal about it though.

I'm not an unrealistic or high maintenance fan though, as long as we play positive football, challenge top 4 and, most importantly, have a healthy budget, I am happy. The best part about being a Spurs-fan the last few years is not having to see the best players leave.

COYS!

I definitely didn’t think you needed to spend huge money on a player. You don’t really have any bad fits or holes. Was a bit surprised absolutely no signings were made, not even a young guy. No signings was a bit of an anomaly, but not really a mistake.

Spurs have been in a bit of an odd position where the starting 11 is good to the point where their players are either not really "upgradeable" (Kane/Eriksen/Alli etc.), or they are but it would cost astronomical amounts of money to do so (Lloris/Wanyama/Davies etc.) and the upgrade would be relatively small.

Didn't Pochettino talk about this last year some time? Either he has to try to convince top players to come play a rotation role, or he has to try to convince his club to spend crazy money on players that are only slight upgrades.

Poch talked about it but only about the striker position I believe. Spurs have had terrible luck trying to find a backup for Kane and Poch was asked why it's so hard. His answer was that all of the proven strikers turn Spurs down because they know Kane is playing every game besides a few cup matches.

Unforgivable by Lloris. I hope he gets a fine worth a year of wages. God damn low life.

Carter-Vickers is going to Swansea on a loan. Good move for him.

Another tough group for Spurs. Barca and Inter will be difficult and PSV are not the easiest though we will be favored.

We should be able to get 2nd place in that group. Not everyone can be as lucky as Liverpool were last year when they basically faced two better than decent teams during their whole run, and obliterated one of them.
