many claimed there was one reason that we were anywhere near the top 4 last season, i remember seeing plenty of "mid table if it were not for Bale" type posts during and since - well we lost Bale in the summer so if Spurs minus Bale equals mid table then we're already seeing a good return from our summer window activity, surely?
DoF is a long term role, would be silly to judge on one windows worth of transfers in what was a rather extreme set of circumstances. we don't even know who picked and chose the targets we signed - he might just have finalized the deals.
i don't think it's fair to judge a player on 6 months worth action (or sitting on the sidelines in some cases) and it makes even less sense to judge the guy who 'brought them in' over that time scale.
