Transfers January 2018 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

From 07/08 until 11/12 Woolwich had a positive net spend twice.
They were up £30M+
They finished 3rd x3 and 4th x2 CL five seasons. Didn’t win a trophy.
In the same period we spent £41m and top 4 twice ( one CL campaign) We won a league cup.
The year they bought Henry they made a net £7m profit.
They spent £13m net the next 2 seasons ( thats £6m total for the 3) and finished 2nd, 2nd and Champions
Meanwhile we spent £25m those 3 seasons finished 10th, 12th and 9th.

We spemt £20m 15/16 (minus £7m net) & 16/17 (plus £27m net) and finished 3rd and 2nd.
Man City spent positive £238m and finished lower. But they bought a league cup.

So negative spend does have fuck all to do with it,
Positive spend will come out on top, if like Utd and City, you can positive spend £150m + every season.
Over the same period Woolwich were spending 50m more on wages than us every year , I know it's not anything to do with this point but used to piss me off when scum would talk about money as if wages do not go into the equation.

John can consider himself owned. Very nice work.
 
Next up I'd go for Rabiot. Top talent in an area we could do with it
We tried that already. Before he was established.
They were adamant they weren’t letting him go.

He’s come on since then, put on mass and looks strong as well as tall.



He’s a great player who looks like he can handle the physical side of the pL.
Don’t know what he’s like as a trainer but if he bought into the regime here I think he’d be a fucking monster of a CDM that has everything.
A bit of pace, power and skill but along with his defensive capabilities he has creative capabilities.
He could be the Dembele Pochettino talked about when he talked about wishing they had gotten Dembele younger, when he was still malleable.
He’s still just 22 isn’t he.

Anyway I doubt there’s much chance of us getting him.
 
Is Moura any good then? From the comments I've seen dotted about different places there's more people saying they don't want him.
Yea he's good if enigmatic. He'll be frustrating in parts and brilliant in parts. Hoping under Poch's guidance that consistency will come that Son is starting to get. In fact, a comparison to Sonny, in terms of being a frustrating gamechanger when he first came is apt.

He's a damn sight better than GKN anyway.
 
No idea if Moura is any good But as we are told he is not match fit or premiership match fit it is difficult to see him being anything other than a sub for at least a month. Now that is still good as having a creative player on the bench is a big asset and that used to be Son but he starts now.
