Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Of course..... However, with few exceptions (i.e. The well known loons like the Ballotelli's of this world) you or I won't have much genuine insight on this front and are just left evaluating visible on the pitch shenanigans.
I disagree. I think it ain't that hard to judge a player's intangibles like his character, fighting spirit.

Any fan can watch 10-20+ games of any given player pretty easily these days. Just look at his attitude...does he track back, does he fall easy, does he moan at his mates/ref, does he sulk when getting subbed etc. And look at his social media...what sort of thing does he put on here? Is he a flash pretentious bastard or does he actually showcase important values and life principles?

If a fan can do it, there's no excuse for a scout to get it wrong on so many occasions, as is the case with our scouting geniuses
 
Most lately have been poor and that's why I don't get over excited.
Hugo, Toby, Jan, Son, Dele was a great signing but let himself down.

That's a horrendous, incompetent hit rate though, wouldn't you agree? And Emerson is just a small part of that, the fans may have been excited but again, they aren't highly paid professionals working for an entity worth billions.

Obviously some signings will fail. But the sheer amount of failures and fuck ups we manage to produce is extraordinary.
 


"Journos" must have the best time covering Spurs...

Jason Burt probably told his friends "watch this i'm going to tweet about Spurs"

Fair enough

Are you genuinely not frustrated with the current situation ?

Everyone deals with situations differently, just because you don't see me smashing my keyboard and crying on the Internet doesn't mean I'm not utterley pissed off...

Some of us prefer to make light of situations just like loads of other people in here, why the fuck am I so important all of a sudden? lol

Especially if I'm an ENIC bot :sneaky:

I absolutely would agree and that is why I am so wary of signings for the sake of signing.

Even more shocking are January signings and again that is why I don't get so excited.
 
You offer a poor debate so i'll bow out but thanks anyway.

I think you’ll find the point is, that it doesn’t make sense to ask for “realistic options” for transfers on a forum.

You see, we don’t work at the club and as such we don’t talk with players, talk to agents, know what the manager is requesting, who is up for sale or not, and who is willing to go to THFC.

The management and scouts of our club knows. And they’ve done fuck all.

Therefore it makes sense to criticise without being able to offer alternatives.

You know, like if you criticise a doctor for an obvious mistake without being able to make the surgery yourself.

So I think you’ll find that I do indeed “offer a debate” - however, it is clearly a debate above your level of comprehension.

Now you can fuck off.
