Great window when it looked like we might get relegated under Redknapp
2 x freebies when we actually had a chance of going for the league title under the same manager
Pretty much nothing at all under Pochettino when it looked like we might have a chance of actually becoming a proper big club and really going for trophies.

Very telling what the priorities of the decision makers at our club have always been

Still, I suppose we can have high hopes this month seeing as we're back in a relegation scrap!

beat me to it, good windows ?
 
I know we'll get criticism from some quarters for a signing like Souza considering our predicament right now but I still think it is the right path to go down. We don't have the funds to sign best, ready made players now and even if we did we don't have the gravitas to attract them to the club.

We need to double down and continue down this road of signing great young players but make sure that we have better pathways for them to fulfill their potential, either via better relationships with other clubs for loans or, better still, getting ourselves a feeder club in a weaker european league.

I think we also need to be smarter with bringing in some experienced players to help the youngsters. Players like Xhaka and Henderson have been invaluable this season for Sunderland and Brentford. I haven't really had much thought who there is that could play that sort of role at Spurs but as we're struggling at left back and seemingly bringing in one for the future I wonder whether Liverpool would be prepared to sell Andy Robertson for a not particularly massive fee?

This part is very important and, in my opinion, has been completely overlooked by the club. We've been obsessed with ROI and that has blocked us from signing players in their twilight years who could have provided useful guidance to youngsters. Unfortunately, that means inquiring about a player's personality and looking beyond their weekly wages.
