Problem for us is that I reckon Porto wouldn't budge on the asking price being the release clause until August 30th and that left us very little time to get it over the line

Owen will come in as backup.
I think that is just an excuse. You can't expect other clubs to lower the fee for us, just like we won't sell our players cheap to others. I think we should have used all the money we got from the Modric sale to sign Moutinho. I don't think we badly needed to sign Dembele. But we badly needed to replace Modric which we didn't. I think if we do badly this season, the failure to replace Modric will be one of the key reasons.
Embarassingly, some media in Asia are reporting we have actually signed Moutinho. I think everyone were convinced we would sign Moutinho. They might not be aware of our ability to snatch failures from the jaws of success, on and off the field. Thanks Levy for yet another player we nearly signed !
Jeez chaps at least give the new signings a chance before slating the fudge out of them, Dembele has become a quality player, just look at the way he run the show at OT last saturday, this proves he has balls, skills, tekkers too and as for Dempsey he scored 20 goals last season, only Rooney and RVP scored more in the PL, he will be this years Parker, so many people slating him then look at how well he performed during the season
I know they werent the Kaka's and Benzema's that you all wanted but be realistic about who we actually are as a club, were good but not that good..
Get behind the team, support everybody and lets start the season today with 3 points COYS !!!!

Then we should have done the same with Modric
I would have been satisfied with the signings if only wanted us to fight for 4th place. But I wanted us to fight for title as AVB as mentioned when he signed. Just can't see the players we signed making us fight for title.
Really annoyed we sold Modric and VDV without getting their proper replacement. I still don't understand why we need a 4th goalie, however good he was. Our squad looks very unbalanced now, with 4 goalkeepers and only 2 recognised strikers. This transfer window has shown that we will need a new chairman if we want to go to that next level, which is fighting for the league title. Levy will always keep us a rich club but can't see him make us fight for league title. The way he puts salary cap and drags transfer dealings means we won't ever get any top player we want.
I am not convinced Levy was serious about signing Moutinho for the record fee. If he was, we would have bid long time ago, not wait until the last day of transfer window. Porto are not that stupid to let go their star player without time to get his replacement, especially after the draw for CL group stage. I am sure Moutinho were also influenced by the CL group draw. We should have atleast bid for him before the CL draw if we were serious about getting him.
Poor AVB. After the way he failed at Chelsea, he needs to prove his managerial capability. But don't think he has signed any player he wanted at Spurs. Now, he has to rely on the players available and the new signings to step up their game and perform consistently.
Then we wouldn't have signed Demebele or Lloris in all likelihood.
Where did Fulham finish last year? Was it in the top 4?

4th place and a CL spot again is the first target, we 100% have the squad to be able to do this
Hope we aim higher than that. We finished 4th last season. Why do we need a new manager and players to keep that 4th place. Surely, we should be targetting 3rd atleast this season.
