I never thought I would say this but that was a superb window for the club.
Makes the other years seem daft.I see some trying to shift the blame on Poch not wanting players,cant handle big names,utter tosh IMO,Poch called for a painful overhaul,seriously if he had been offered Bale he would have said I dont want him?also the transfer commitee is well established and known,Levy and ultimately Levy approves or declines,then there`s Mr I hate transfers Hitchen,and then the coach who when asked repeatedly said I dont know about incoming,outgoing transfers,new contracts.
Yes its been a great transfer window (hopefully,we have signed 7 players before in one hit),but balance that with we are replacing vertonghen,eriksen,Llorente from 2 years ago,trippier,rose,vorm (and gazzaniga it seems).Truth is we lost the 1st game in an insipid manner and the club shit the bed,season ticket/membership renewals declining,if he didnt act it could have been a disaster,massive debt,no european football,supporter unrest,covid revenues plummeting,this year is not the year to lose status and position.
Hopefully the year ends in a one and we know that means,and same as after everton shitting the bed was too early,getting the trusty sock out for a fondle is too early as well.It looks good on paper,but has to translate to on the pitch over the next months.
