I can't even disagree with that. I had seriously high hopes a couple months ago when we extended Pochettino and signed Kane longer term. I thought that this was going to be an amazing window where we could sell a couple players who were kind of done with Spurs (Rose, Alderweireld, Dembele, and if dreams came true Sissoko), and then add in some young, top tier talent to contend. A good CM, CB and at the outset someone like Sessegnon.
As things are though, Pochettino has worked wonders with a club that hasn't invested in players anywhere near to the extent of the other top clubs. I know that some of the United fans on here don't credit that as progress and think it's not a success, but it entirely is. Finishing top four three years in a row with the spending of Spurs just makes you wonder how good Poch would be with a club that spent to bring in top talent, and honestly if Spurs and Levy aren't going to do that there's only one way to find out.
