Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Lingard would be good business with minimal transfer fee given he can go for free in the summer. His wages of 130k a week is fine if he performs. If he doesn’t we have another reserve on a comparatively high wage. It’s a risk, but at least you don’t risk the transfer fee.

I like the idea of buying the best players from Celtic and Rangers. If you ignore the Scottish players who tend to be crap, they seem to be a good breeding ground for quality overseas imports on the cheap. I’m think Dembele (we were linked with him before his move to Lyon) and Van Diik (He was the best defender in Scotland and went to Southampton for 5 mil or something). There are plenty of duds in Scotland (see comment above on Scottish players) but a few gems.
Lingard is just a Dele clone.
 
Yes - January 2008 transfer window saw Spurs re-sign Defoe and Keane plus about 3 other first team squad players.


Moving back to January's transfer window, my guess would be Kessie being brought in as a CM from AC Milan as his contract ends in June 2022, so fee is low and we know Spurs have continued to work on Vlahovic (striker) who would certainly fill a gap and maybe a 3rd player coming in.

We'd need to sell at least 2 overseas trained players - Doherty would be the obvious one, but I wonder if Lo Celso's time at Spurs might be coming to an end as he has rarely impressed at Spurs - and with Kessie coming in I doubt if Lo Celso would get any playing time.

If we could identify a suitable HG player who is available, maybe Winks would move on, but not sure who the incoming HG player would be

Kessie & Vlahovic in January would be epic, but I fear the later will likely have to wait til the summer......

As would any top CB.

.....Selling either is as good as binning your season off.



Elsewhere; hankering for more wide players (Raphinia or whoever) seems pointless unless we know Conte's not gonna rock a 532.
 
This. Conte will adapt to get the most out of his squad at hand.

He ran the 3-4-3 at Chelsea since they had good wingers like Hazard. He'll experiment with us as well until he finds the ideal lineup.

As per my post, IF we play 532.

I don't imagine Gil's presence being enough to steer Conte towards a particular system though.

Wouldn't be against him getting a PL loan text season if we can find the right club for him tbh..... Needs to get used to imposing his game in a much more physically challenging league.
 
There is no fucking way Inter sell him. There would be a riot at Curva Nord if they did.

He also rejected half of Europe to join Inter .. he's not leaving them to join us just because Conte is here. 99% of these links seem like the media just making shit up and assuming we're gonna sign half of Serie A now.

He'd also cost like 80 million. Unless the Saudis plan on switching clubs I don't think it's happening.
