Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Which right back will we sign this window?
Which right back will we sign in the summer?
Which right back will we sign this time next year?

Getting a bit silly really.
Paid £27m for Royal, if we're already "desperate" for another, we may as well move him on and sign a cheap backup to whoever the new one is.
 
Oh I don’t doubt that, it’s the arm waving and screaming that’s odd. I’ve often wondered if forums for other clubs are the same
If another club of our size and wealth had managed just one league Cup in 21 years , and 0 trophies in 13, I doubt they would have a hysterical mob screaming and shouting their defence of the owners at every turn, either?

I mean, how can someone use still being in the FA cup, when we haven't kicked a ball yet, and claim we only got knocked out of Europe because of Covid, after bottling it against the likes of Mura and Vitesse, as valid reasons to fend of criticism. It's outright trolling, mate.

It's all about balance

I’d love him, he’s only 26, very good up front but has the skill and pace to play on the right too, so would give us options, and is in the form of his life. Not his modus operandi but can hold the ball up and thread a pass when necessary too. Only downside is his injury history but he seems to be out of the woods on that one.

The last line is succinct which is my point, if you’re looking for balanced debate don’t come on here!

Woolwich and Spurs 'interested in Bayer Leverkusen star Patrik Schick'

Good call
 
Every transfer window it's like being on the conveyor belt moving slowly but surely to the mincing machine.

You hope against logic and motion and then crunch, you're fcuked by the inevitable slicing.

I'm not saying we are a club in any real jeopardy but if we want to be taken seriously and start to show real promise, it's not enough to get a proper puppeteer and to expect him to work with poorly equipped puppets.

A couple of decent signings this month would be enough to quell the drift towards the mince meat of negative perception.

We aren't good at moving people on and buying replacements.
 
So, if we had the chance to take BALE for free on an 18 month contract for 20m quid (salary), would you take it? We need something to elevate this squad into the top 4 this season so we can attract players come summer.

Our 'rebuild' is going to take some time as Conte has hinted. Our best players (Son, Kane) are old and on a downward trajectory, also Lloris is 35, Moura is almost 30.

All the while, people seem desperate for us to sell our young players Sessegnon (21), Alli (25), Bergjwin (25), Sanchez (25), Winks (25), Rodon (24).
It’d take him 17 of those months to get fit
 
See villa have coutinho on loan. Great deal for them. He is better than our midfield combined. Can take free kicks and corners.

Meanwhile

Jan 7th … 8.45 am ……. Not a fucking dicki bird
