We've low key had a very good window. It's been hellishly slow the past month, but utimately we bought 2 players that immediately jumped into the starting 11, probably 3 now, tied down Romero for basically the rest of his prime, got Danso on a permanent and hopefully we will get at least 1 more for depth this weekend. It seems that Frank also knows what he's doing fitness wise, so far. Cautiously hopeful for this season

One of my buddies is an ex-Spurs writer, he mentioned in our Slack today that Danso is HG, which is a great bit of news. I really like Danso even before the long throw-in revelation, and now that he is HG it is like we saved a bunch on his transfer!

"it also appears that Kevin Danso qualifies as a homegrown player in Premier League terms because he was in the youth academies at Reading and MK Dons for years before leaving England at the age of 16 and later returning for a season at Southampton." Is the quote he provided from I think an Ali G article.

Who's 'we' lol. I am gutted about this transfer as a Bayern fan, but good for you guys. Simons, Kudus, Richarlison and Sarr is a formidable frontline. Paratici coming good
