Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
No need to panic at this stage, we've still got 72 hours to sign a couple of top players.
Genuinely hard to tell the sarcastic posts from the sincere ones.
Trix knows, but he's not naming names...
because, well you know... he talks bollocks.

I get the feeling that people are mildly disappointed.
So here I am trying to remind you all of why we really support the club.
At the time I thought this is what it's all about. What it's really about.
The emotions were pure.
What I would give to relive that on repeat.
Some of you lot need a pick me up.
Enjoy! COYS!

Quality ITK right there
Herc hasn't a clue what's going on as it's sooo complex...
So... he's saying nothing!

Not many get to stay on COYS long enough to form an opinion!Why does everyone hate SC so much
Coys are more up their own arses.
You could write a graduate thesis on the utility of “agents” as a stock bogeyman in this kind of communication.Herc hasn't a clue what's going on as it's sooo complex...

Once again, with a player like Kulusevski, I'd never go for an obligation to buy, especially not at 40 mil...like is being bandied about. If Juve insists, I'd run away from the deal or say "fine, we'll buy him but only if he's played 25, scored 10 and we'll only sign him fir 15 mil. Take it or leave it"
So Morata Bentacur and Kulusevski are the z list.
Thats a strong z list. Theres still time do do ok in the window. And also not alot of time to fuck it up entirely .

United aren't selling him for anything less than they bought him 6 months after buying him and no way can we pay anything close to that.
You win the internet for today for using my favorite phrase!
Or Kulu on loan, with obligation to buy for 40mil
January's never an easy transfer window to do business as very few players of quality available we might want to buy - just look at the last 10 years, and about the only decent players bought in have been Moura and Bergwijn. Two players in 10 years - and that's pretty true of other clubs too.
I think we entered the transfer window with 2 basic objectives :
1. To sell, or failing that, Ndombele, Lo Celso and probably Dele...... both to free up squad places and get whatever fees possible plus offload 3 of our highest paid players who haven't contributed much over the last 2 or 3 years.
If loaned out they may play at their new club and be more saleable in the summer.
2. If we can buy a top player who Conte wants there are limited funds available (as we saw with Diaz might be able to afford 50m .... but he preferred Liverpool). If no good players can be bought, its better to save money to spend in summer when more players are available.
Pretty clear its not easy to offload Ndombele, Lo Celso or Dele but if we can offload 3 players who are contributing almost nothing and bring in 3 loanees who Conte thinks will do more of a job, that's an improvement in the squad.
Not ideal but that's where we seem to be.
