We’ve some but can’t overspend to get all our targets. If you’ve only £4 and you need 3 apples and they are £2 each because in season and it’s a busy start of the day with lots of shoppers out who have £6 and more. You need for their price to drop at the end of the day hoping their will be three unbruised apples left or just buy two apples knowing ultimately that’s insufficient.

I did say its not felt the same behind the scenes. Everything you've said above is testament to the time she was here, the players, the manager that made those achievements were recruited on her watch.

I've already said we need to essentially drop the domestic cups. We've broke the trophy drought. Top 5 is now more important, and we'll certainly not achieve that if our purples have to cope with the League and FA Cup as well.

Not sure upgrading our manager is actually possible.

Don’t think there’s any need to panic providing they’ve done their scouting and have a few targets in each position lined up. The age of the squad needs bringing down so hopefully some exciting young players who’ve not yet been leaked in press. No way can we enter next season without at least 4 additions who can challenge for 1st team places and ideally 5 including a midfielder.

That Tel permanent, no one new I don’t think.

I think people's point is that surely we now have PSR headroom?! We've been inactive for 2 years. We have been told by Eddie that we have PSR headroom. The squad is badly under-prepared for the campaign ahead, and the campaign starts on July 7th.

They’ve signed a couple but I meant the new manager.

Thomas Frank. That's a massive upgrade on last season.

Do you think we are at the stage where we send Yasir Al-Rumayyans wife a bunch of flowers ?

Who have Spurs signed?

Think its safe to say Livramento, Isak and Barnes was close to premium. Of course they should, but that was not the point.

A lot of the teams in the league can do whatever they want. If we finish outside the European places it’ll be entirely our fault.

I think we'll get a better idea of how things are looking in a few weeks. The money's there and the main conflict regarding signings has been resolved, and so I'd be surprised if it's anything like last summer.

Fearing midfield or striker will be running on empty by christmas.

And the other 12 teams haven't strengthened. Yet

Hard to say that if we didn't know what the original asking price was. It may have been premium to you, but that may have still been the lower end of what the other club originally asked for. Or in some cases, perhaps having failed to bring the price down, they just opted to go for it. Does that then mean they should never have tried to negotiate?!

It’s only really Arsenal and Villa who are quiet in the area we’ll be competing in this season. At least half the league aren’t relevant to us.

I just think there is some understandable scepticism after last summer. I still think we will get 3 in personally.

Dont disagree with that, but we have payed premium fees for players late in the window also.

Well if we haven't learnt from that then we'll get what we deserve. Howe also did say that they did have other options but they weren't widely reported at the time.

I'm sure we'll pivot at some point if things aren't progressing, but it's still early days. Usually negotiations wouldn't even start if the gap in valuations is too big, and the sellers are not open to any discussions. I think this was likely the case with Mbeumo.

You’ve just named the teams with all the PSR headroom. Everyone else is quiet.

Considering we have apparently been planning this window for nearly a year, surely none of what is happening is coming as a surprise to the club.
