That might paper over the cracks, get us top four hopefully and we can attract decent players?

Let's wait until Jan 30th and then offer a other 50 quid.
Hamstring and pretty bad thigh injury. He's covered in Kenisio tape these days suggesting he's still not comfortable or limber.
Tottenham want to sign Todd Cantwell
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are competing with Leeds United and Newcastle United for Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are competing with Leeds United and Newcastle United for Norwich City midfielder Todd Cantwell, according to The Sun.
The British tabloid has claimed that Tottenham, Newcastle, Leeds, AS Roma and Leicester City all are interested in signing Cantwell from Noreich in the January transfer window.
The Canaries are willing to sell the 23-year-old now, but they want £15 million in transfer fees.
WOULD TODD CANTWELL MAKE TOTTENHAM BETTER?
In our view, Cantwell would be a good signing for Tottenham, especially for £15 million.
The 23-year-old knows the Premier League and has done relatively well for the Canaries in the division.
Moreover, Cantwell is quite young, so there is room for improvement and development in his game.
The former England Under-21 international has made five starts and three substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Canaries so far this season.
Cantwell – described as “an exceptional, exceptional player” by former Norwich striker Chris Sutton on BBC Radio 5 Live in June 2020 – has scored six goals in 45 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career.
Tottenham could do with more dynamism in their midfield, and, in our view, Cantwell would not be a bad option to have for head coach Antonio Conte.

Barcelona will target Wolves winger Adama Traore, 25, if French forward Ousmane Dembele, 24, decides against renewing his contract with the La Liga side, providing competition for Tottenham in their attempts to sign the Spaniard. (Diario Sport - in Spanish)

He’d cost more than Nerez, but is he particularly better?
I feel Nerez would be a steal for any club at this moment because all eyes are not on him. And his talent is undeniable.
If we can get Ajax to trade him for Bergwijn
He’s fucking sensational on the ball. Him, Dier and Romero would be a helluva back 3 and mean the bang average centre midfield is less exposed from a football perspective as they are all so good on the ball
Wasn’t he part of the promising crop of Norwich players two years back? Aarons, Buendia, and Cantwell?
Who knows, both are exciting players
Yeah they got relegated. Exciting in the championship
We do have interesting players to trade in exchange (loans or perm). That must be attractive to most clubs as deals are so hard to do in Jan, could make them more open to a sale
He looked decent in the prem initially but he was barely used by this season. Must be a reason. It could be they are prioritising defence and dropping creative players to do that.
Or he could (and probably was) just a flash in the pan.
:Face-palm: ....Because (now buckle up!) depsite how you presented it does NOT vindicate your "Told you so attitude".
Are you trolling? Must be.......
VDV was an example of a transfer with injury risk attached and how that affects one's pricetag in the trf market..... Your subsequent rambling about Soldado, Bentley, Pav or whoever the fuck else brought nothing to the discussion. (Apart from your incidental mention of Lamela which actually contradicts your rhetoric, but you quickly glossed over that in favour of more meta-shite.)
:shrugs:
It's these "maybe's" why the "I told you so" stance of your OG post has not been vindicated by an article which paints a picture to that which you want it to.
Please say you're done.... You wrung any semblance of life out this matter a number of posts ago now.
Cantwell looked promising a couple of seasons ago but not kicked on at all. Wasnt even that special in the championship last season, not even been getting in the Norwich team much this season and almost 24 so not like he's an up and coming youngster. Its the Sun so likely bollocks, certainly hope so.
Nah, you're thinking of the opposing Everton FB; Seamus Coleman.
I reckon the THFC committee have seen how many fairly average British players have gone to Italy recently and got a bit wide eyed.
Ramsey, Mainland Niles, Abrahams, Smalling, Young.
They probably think we can shift all our deadwood over to Serie A and replace them with better players.
How many weeks of failing to do so before they realise it won't work?

Is there actually a quote for this, can’t find it anywhere.
As someone saud here lwb is probably the least of our concerns at the moment. We need to spend that 30 mil eksewhere at the moment. Dont think digne is tall enough for lcb
What's the beef with Digne?
I like the player, but not sure why we'd opt for him as a CB though..... Yeh, Everton have played him for a few games in an emergency, but it would negate the attacking end of his game which his strength.
It would only be a make-shift (when Ben is doing ok) and peeps would understandably still want a specialist LCB in the summer.
....Again, I thought people wanted more attacking product from our FBs?
As far as I could see the only point in buying him is if we'd decided to bin Sessengon off cos he can't be relied upon to stay fit (in which case he'd be a damn good solution).
We need to buy first teamers and use whats starting now as back up. Buying more players as back up not players who can improve starting team is what has us where we are
