Rating out of 10 for the window?

No he wants/needs first choice football not being back up to Kane, you keep on blaming levy for everything though its what you do.

We should absolutely have a backup striker, whether that is a player of Ings calibre or Vinnie almost doesn't matter. We just need someone once again.

I do agree and hoped we would have kept Vinnie, my point is that Ings would not have come here to be a back up to Kane.

So how do we know that was the case? We didn't get as far as talking to him as we didn't get as far as agreeing a fee with Southampton.

Do we now just assume that players won't join us so not even bother bidding for them?

I don't solely blame Levy for our lack of ambition. His partner and majority share holder is more to blame than Daniel.

You have absolutely no idea whether or not Ings would've come to Spurs.

He would have if we made the right offer I’m sure

Common sense, he has already missed part of his playing days with injury and is 29 now and i am sure he wants regular first team games not sitting on the bench. But you carry on believing he was a player who would have come here if given the chance Stop! Hammer time.

The curious thing was that we didnt seem to go after other CFs, apart from the big money ones who were clearly options if Kane left regardless of what was said about them partnering Kane

That said, Nuno often operated with one CF at Wolves and then played false 9s or wingers as a CF when Jiminez was out, so perhaps not surprising that he wasnt pushing Paratici for another CF

Its not a decision I would have taken, particularly with Kane's injury recrod

It seems that the manager was instead pushing for Traore (who we didn't get either).

Similar decision to what Pochettino ended up making.

Been discussed repeatedly, but finding a striker that will make us better overall than shifting Son, happy enough to be backup to Kane or good enough in other positions to get enough games is difficult.
