Disappointed that we didn't get anyone, but we have sorted out left back. We have stronger centre backs, we have cover for right back, Lamela is like a new signing, rose playing well, Kane finding the net, chadli doing well too. Soldado still got to get game time, stronger keeper cover, stambouli looks a decent signing. Gutted about the beast, but injuries have hampered him. Not sure why holtby went as I thought he would be a great squad player. So we have lloris, dier, fazio, vertonghen, Davies, stambouli, Capoue, Lamela, Eriksen, chadli, kane/ soldado. That's a good starting 11. I still have faith. COYS

Totally agree Dom, our main issue/frustration was our shape and defence last year. We got a coach with a vision, we strengthened across our back line and didn't spend ridiculous amounts to do it. Look at dier and faz, and compare them in value to the likes of shaw, Lovren, luis, chambers and alike. I can see another attacking option in Jan but a good team starts at the back and we could do with some stability.

Dom and gspur, on a page of negativity it's great to see your positive optimistic posts.
reading most of the ranting rubbish on here you would swear an apocalypse was coming.
to all you negative levy hating posters - if poch has faith in his squad, then why can't you?

That's because Ponch doesn't have any options . I don't see Morgan, jay R, etc in the squad, players that Ponch wanted as well . Once again we made a profit, exactly how levy and Lewis like it . Face facts, money is more important than PL position . Our chairman is the only one who never sees that you have to spend each year to keep progressing, not huge amounts but regular spending . One bad injury to a forward and we are up rubbish creek!

Davo - we brought in 6 new players and removed some passed their best. We've strengthened the squad.
Most teams only have 3 forwards these days. We may yet see the best of soldado, ade is playing well and poch must see something good in Kane who is playing well and scoring. I really don't understand all the negativity. Jay Rod might come in January when he's over his current injury. What's the point in buying him now? As for schiederlin, soton didn't want to sell him so your point about missing targets and levy failing us isn't valid. I feel the squad has progressed in this transfer window and is much more balanced.
