Have we signed Tanguy NDombèlé yet?
I think we’re getting ahead of ourselves.
But it’s difficult not to get excited about three or four new lads coming in and giving the whole team a lift.

No, that was Soldado.
Just because a signing failed doesn't mean they weren't a huge it important transfer.
Soldado was the huge, marquee signing that everyone clamored for. And he failed.
Nowhere near on the level of Van der Vaart from Real Madrid (who had just played in a World Cup final v Spain) or Ndombele who is one of the hottest midfielders in Europe at the moment.
Being a striker in Spain is completely different from playing in the Premier League and I think many fans realized that when we signed Soldado, but yeah it was an interesting signing.

You're just flat out wrong, and you're letting history cloud your memory.
I think you were a bit overexcited then over a potentially decent signing, but nowhere near as interesting or special as Van der Vaart was and Ndombele would be.
No, that signing was an earthquake at the time. He was a nailed-on top tier striker in the 3-4 seasons prior. Heck, I still remember fucking
Carlito Brigante
of all people giving props to Levy, but insisting that he was the only signing of the group good enough for Spurs.
One of the pods opened with ''I can't believe Spurs are buying Roberto Soldado''.
It was massive at the time.

3rd highest top scorer behind Messi and Ronaldo at the time :soldadowatch:
I wasn't convinced at all that a player of his characteristics would do well in our league, let alone that I was expecting him to set it alight so for me it wasn't all that exciting, but we've all been wrong before.No, that signing was an earthquake at the time.
