People might not agree with me, but I think Conor Gallagher to Tottenham will be seen as a success. I think they needed leaders in that squad and he's certainly one of those.
I think it's unfortunate for them that they couldn't get the Andy Robertson deal over the line. They've been crying out for a player like that for a while.
But I think the Gallagher deal will be a successful deal because I think he's an excellent player.

We asked you what still needs to happen before the transfer window closes at 19:00 GMT on Monday.
Here are some of your comments:
Simon: There are two essentials not addressed so far during this window. A striker to back up Solanke and a goal keeper who can deal with set pieces. Ivan Toney and Robin Roefs.
Paul: I would be tempted to enquire if Marcus Rashford could be persuaded to sign a permanent contract as we need a tried and tested striker to complement Solanke. Another centre half would also be on my list as Romero is still making too many rash decisions and is likely to miss more games through suspension than anything else.
Matt: Creative midfielder for sure - without Kulu, Madders and Kudus we're clueless and another striker. We need to be going for Toney on a short term deal just to get us out of this difficult moment. Recruitment has been so poor recently for forwards.
Dan: Sterling has to be worth a punt as a freebie. Could easily perform back to his undoubtedly excellent best, at least for a spell while he is desperate to prove a point, and that could tide us over until Deki gets back to fitness.
Anff: A creative midfielder, and another striker. Keep Randall, if he's happy to stay, we need strength in depth if we're competing across multiple competitions. But a creative midfielder alongside Maddie again for strength in depth. The defence is fine, even if Van De Ven, continues to threaten to leave it doesn't matter, we have Vuskovic waiting in the wings, and to me Van De Ven's posturing says more about Vuskovic pushing and competing for his place than anything else he might dress it up as. That said of course I'd prefer him to stay
Graham: How have we not recruited a proper striker? We are desperate!!! Richarlison should have gone a long time ago, Kolo Muani is only a loan and has shown he is not the answer. We need someone like Osimhen.

Thomas Frank and Tottenham have suffered badly at home this season - and for 45 minutes this looked like another nightmare to add to the list.
Spurs simply could not get near Manchester City, who outclassed and out-passed their opponents with comfort, scoring two goals and offering the promise of many more.
And yet, as has happened before this season, Spurs can be a team of two halves. Once they sensed City had let their intensity and concentration drop, Spurs took the encouragement and ran with it.
Dominic Solanke was the player at the heart of the comeback, hustling City's defence into a mistake before his freakish equaliser.
Was it by accident or design?
Solanke flicked a leg out behind him, perhaps in hope rather than expectation, but it did the job with a connection strong enough to loop over Gianluigi Donnarumma.
It was a tale of the unexpected after the first half, with Spurs even threatening to win.
It was enough for Spurs to hear the rare sound of applause at the final whistle - and it was fully merited after a show of real resilience.
Spurs have won only two of 12 league games at home this season, but Frank can take heart from this one.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Tottenham and Man City.
Here are some of your comments:
Spurs fans
Peter: All Thomas Frank has to do to survive is to start each game for the rest of the season with whatever he said to the Spurs team at a half-time. If ever there was an example of a game of two halves this was it.
Michael: Was Frank's half time talk 'Go and play Ange ball' or did the teams swap psyches at the break? Either way, we simply can't keep playing one half of a game and that's down to the manager, he doesn't seem to be able to motivate the team for the entire match. We all now know Dom Solanke has been researching new and interesting ways to score while in recovery, too! The awfulness of the first half was matched by the exuberance of the second, Xavi running the game, Dom scoring two unusual goals. They were a team then that could easily have won the match. Need to keep that going, I'm afraid there's been too many false dawn's to get excited. Let's see next week, shall we?
Jimmy: That's what the fans want to see in that second half. Let's all pull together and finish the season strong.
Roger: In the first half we looked like a bunch of second rate players who were frightened to play and had no fight or interest. That's not just today, but all season. In the second half with nothing to lose we were a bit chaotic but gave it a go and looked much better. We still looked frightened to try and win it though. It's hard to know if it's the manager to blame for the tactics or whether a great stadium and facilities has helped produce a bunch of soft spoiled deluded players. The number of players making themselves unavailable today to face City does beg the question. At least Palhinha tries to inspire a bit of fight and should be captain.
City fans
David: There seems to be no fight in this current city squad. Play like we are 5-0 up moving the ball from side to side then back to start again. Something needs to change.
Stanley: I wasn't disappointed. I was really embarrassed in how we thought the game was over and we could just run down the clock. So many chances to overtake Arsenal have been thrown away. Just play for ninety minutes.
Kenan: Brilliant first half performance with a beautiful goal by Rayan Cherki (what a steal he's turning out to be for £30m), but we saw the ghosts of last season in that second half - no organisation and sloppy performances. A beautiful goal levelled the scoreline and turns out any chance of a title race is slowly slipping away…
Brian: Here Man City go again. The merry-go-round of coming unstuck in the 2nd half continues. This was a three pointer thrown away. Spurs played with passion and belief in the second 45 and Man City simply fell apart and lost the will to win. How long will the club tolerate this failure to hold on to a lead and press home an advantage. We have the talent but not the tactics? This has become a pathetic watch.

'Big belief' got Spurs back into the game - Frank
Tottenham manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Sport: "We changed the system to a 4-4-2, it was not about the system. We had to adjust the high pressure to win the ball back better, what we did in the middle so nothing came through us and offensively playing a little more behind them and that belief from one step at a time.
"It is quite evident that Dom [Solanke] has been a big miss for us. We've been without him for six months and now we have him back. Four goals in four games speaks its own language, he was very impressive and he is not fit yet. You could see in the last 15 minutes he could not run.
"Very happy with Pape [Matar Sarr], he was very good. He just came back from five or six weeks at Afcon where he did not play too much. Second half he was very impressive.
"I think we can create something magic together, the players and the fans when we are united like we were especially second half but also the Dortmund game. That atmosphere, intensity, that's what pushed the players and they really needed it.
"I prefer it going more smooth, I think that is fair to say, but this is football. In this spell I think we have done more good things than bad things but not enough performances have turned into results but now I am happy we have four decent performances and unbeaten.
"It was a big point with that second-half performance. The players' mentality has been good throughout."

Thomas Frank has taken four points from games versus Manchester City in the Premier League this season (W1 D1) - the most by a Tottenham manager in a single campaign since Mauricio Pochettino in 2016-17 (also W1 D1).
