Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Looks a bit 'all-purpose'.... Doesn't have ya typical EPL-DM physique tho.

What physique are you referring to? As Makelele and Kante stand out as the best, Roy Keane and Vieira were the days when borderline assault early doors was often just a stern warning, relative to now anyway.

Point being, the dynamics have changed dramatically, teams find spaces around each other much more frequently so there are much less leg to leg. or upper body strength needed, moments.

For me, agility, speed of body and mind, vision. If the player has that, not much concerned if 5'8 or 6'2, would rather 6ft and Bellingham like (slender yet very strong core), as that allows around peak running over 2x47m, but point is every Kg of muscle (which may win 1 or 2 body to body challenges) has to be carried around the pitch, so I want lean fuckers who more often don't need to get into that challenges as they ran the opposition off the ball, again and again. Still want a pitbull spirited f*cker as well though, don't get me wrong here!

Anyway, agree he's more an attacking/higher risk looking player, as it stands. Slight concern his momentum of play appears a little languid, but excited to see him develop here.
 
Maybe in January if Santo gets the sack by then (Not his fault in the main) but Graham Potter.

Let's get a young manager in, give him time and simply ask him to conduct a root and branch transformation.

Never has it been so clear that the club needs an overhaul, with too many players living off reputation or the odd flash of brilliance.

Completely sick of the complete lack of professionalism that seems to be never faraway.

Good few links to Martial in jan? How would people feel about that?
He can be a good player, but at 26yo (in december) I think we should look elsewhere for the money he'd cost. Think he's lost a bit physically in recent years and his commitment to being a top player is questionable. Wouldn't swap Ndombele for him.

Terrible

He has a shit attitude, doesn’t play RW and would sulk if put in the bench, isn’t really young so done developing and won’t be cheap.

I guess he is better than the nothing we have at striker behind Kane but there are so many better options out there.

Odd player. Brilliant natural talent, a better born footballer than either Greenwood or Rashford but lazy and without care. Real shame when you see a player with great ability but horrible attitude.
 
Daily Mirror is claiming that we are looking to bring in Dejan Kulusevski in January from Juventus. Paratici was the man who brought him to Turn and Kulusevski had a good first year for Juventus, contributing with 7 goals and 7 assists in all competitions at just 20 years old. He scored 10 goals and got 9 assists the previous season for Parma.

Allegri is however not a fan of him and he has fallen way back down the pecking order. Paratici however want to bolster the Spurs attacking setup.

Dejan is a full Swedish international with 15 caps at age 21. He plays on the right wing for Juve but can also play as a 10, or as a central striker which he often does for Sweden, linking up with Alexander Isak.

I am all for this. Bring him in Don Fabio.
 
Sell Kane for £100M (rising to £140M with silly clauses if he's super successful will trigger).

Jan 1st? Get Toney, and Sarr (Watford), plus another dynamic player like them for CM (or bring forward Sarr from France).

This guy from Juve, is he quick physically? In his tempo of play?
