Shows how far we've come recently that the signing many of us on here were all creaming ourselves over a year ago in the hope that we got him is now seen as almost being a bit 'meh'.

You think? I think the hype and tempered expectations feel exactly the same as they did back then?

I think any of that feeling probably comes from people being bored of the subject based on the length he has been linked

Personally I think the excitement level is very different, last year my recollection is that he was being talked of as a player who was going to make the big difference for us and have us guaranteed top 6. Whereas this year it feels as though most people will be saying "he's alright but surely that's not it"?

I think our expectation levels have definitely changed (which is great).

Personally I think they look pretty similar TBH, not sure why they would have changed, I think we have always had high expectations as a fanbase

I think it's because we've already signed him 17 times.

I think they have changed for some (perhaps not you) because people can see that we'll now pay the transfer fees and the wages that are required to be able to bring in the big players.

I've definitely seen a shift in expectations on my Spurs Whatsapp group and even in the fantasy football one with a bunch of fans from all sorts of teams.

Quick look back at the first couple of pages on this thread and I can say the initial reaction was lukewarm at best

From a few (mainly GB) but very positive from others..... However, if you carry on in the thread as the window goes on then the reaction seems to pick up a lot (even from GB who seemed to go from really not wanting him to wanting him).

Well I will leave you to trust your own instincts on that one, seems the same to me, but it doesn't really matter.

I don't think he represents a big signings or a big loss either way. Didn't then, don't now
