yeah it's weird, the shortened window certainly hasn't had the effect I expected it to have. I think managers and fans alike expected deals to be done more quickly and earlier in the window, but it really hasn't happened at all. It somehow feels like everybody is waiting for something. I don't know, I wouldn't even be surprised if there weren't a lot of deals next week either. Just feels like a slow transfer summer.

City sure. They spent a ####load of money over the last two summers and they really don't need a lot. The others, I'm not so sure. United has undoubtedly a number of holes in the squad. Spurs have done well to keep the band together again, so yeah, maybe Poch is happy with that.
