Feel the same way. Also, usually feel highly embarrassed because of our tight as.....d chairman

I do think we have left ourselves rather short in the "3" from Poch's 4-2-3-1 system. If Lamela and Eriksen got even minor injuries, we could be in trouble!

Gone a bit quiet really. It's even said that Everton are now talking to Sissoko after we've "pulled out".

I must just check back later tonight to see if anything has happened as i'm expecting it to all end a bit flat.

Video is cringe. This isnt Ronaldo we're unveiling.

I like it

Glad we've finally wrapped the deal up, although I suspect it'll be the last one we do today.

#edit

i spoke too soon .. Pau Lopez confirmed on a season long loan

Wonder where this leaves Vorm ?

Possibly confused, because I certainly am.

I'm trying to see an angle about not being held hostage by Hugo but it's not really there .. tbf, we've had 3 keepers for a while now ...

Still time yet (he said optimistically)!

No surprises I fear today

Its the hope that gets us every time.

Why do we do it ourselves.

Sissoko in london but apparently now on his way to merseyside after Everton meet Newcastle's asking price of £30m

That's likely that if this is true. No cover for Dembele at all.

Newcastle fans seem to think that Sissoko isn't worth half that fee but that's besides the point. There's no doubt that Poch wanted him (all that talk about "powerful players").

It would have been awful to have been guzumped by Chelsea again but just consider this for a minute - it looks like we're being gazumped by EVERTON. What's next, losing out on a player to Palace?

I read that 13 of the 20 PL teams have broken their own transfer records in this window. Presumably we're going be paying for the stadium for the next 10 years. At this rate we'll struggle to fill it.

Agreed. As I said earlier, we arent just standing still, we are going backwards. Combine that with practically every other team strengthening with more quality means that god knows what the season ahead holds.

One of the problems is that we have a chairman who still thinks its 2008 and refuses to accept that time......and transfer fees have moved on. Look at the evidence. Our record signings without the Bale £100 million is Son at £22m. Then its all £15m, £16m, £17m etc. You just cant get true quality that we need in that bracket. Of course, with Levy, his living in 2008 only applies to incoming transfers. When its outgoings he is fully clued up to the "current" market value of a player.

I hope no one is falling for the shpiel of "we will compete with the big boys when we get the new stadium." Arsenal fell for that old chesnut and have'nt come close to the title in the last decade. The only reason Daniel Levy is building a new stadium is to make more money for Daniel Levy.

Zero ambition, which will result in the few quality players we do have, leaving sooner rather then later. People are in for a shock this season when they realise just how much other sides have improved. In the long run last years "freak" of a season, was actually the worst thing that could have happened to us. It simply gave all the other teams the kick up the arse they needed, while we ludicrously try to convince ourselves that everything is fine because of where we finished last year.

Boom! Sissoko signs 5 year deal!

Nothing official just yet. Only just reading we met their asking price.

We could still Spurs this up

French radio reporting its done.

Wait for the club to confirm .. too close to the window slamming shut (that's what you have to say ) to count any chickens.

It's said he's always preferred a move to us so it's certainly looking good though

On his day he can be unplayable but Sissoko is so temperamental. Fantastic sometimes at home but will go missing in the tough away games. I think Newcastle are getting the best end of this deal in all honesty. Hope for Spurs fans that he turns up.

Its better then nothing, but beggers cant be choosers. Poch needs to earn his salary now.

There we go. The man himself with the shirt. Still no official club announcement but I think this'll do

https://twitter.com/MoussaSissoko/st...04537453232128

Although I imagine he'll have to address this little snafu in due course ..

BOOM!

I almost lost faith but just now checked back ... he's the one player i really wanted to see onboard this window; I think this is a very strong signing for the club.

Concludes a very decent albeit an appropriate window - I'm telling you, Poch laid it out for Levy in that substitution on Saturday

nothing about Sissoko's signing makes any sense to me.

Not at £30m

I think we may have Loris to thank in part for this. In one of his interviews online Sissoko tells how he spoke to Loris who told him what a fantastic club Spurs would be for him or words to that effect.

Sometimes it's definitely who you know that counts.

It's bizarre that the club wouldn't pony up £25-30m for Batshuayi or Wijnaldum but would do it for Sissoko. I know there is a lot of positivity elsewhere for Levy backing Pochettino to the tune of £30m - which is fair enough.

However, I still think this summer has been a missed opportunity to improve on Spurs' (mostly excellent) first XI. There was scope to buy a couple of players who could put real pressure on Lamela, Eriksen, Son and Dembele but it hasn't happened.

Is Sissoko really the player to put pressure on the first XI? To my mind, he's warming the bench with Wanyama and Janssen.
