Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I find it odd that many of the people who criticise Enic for never spending to push on, who have repeatedly made fearful predictions of a Nelson/ Saha type scenario, are now criticising the club for what they deem is overpaying.

In a market where Grealish has just cost £100m off the back of one season of playing at a high level, and the likes of Joe Willock, Vlasic and Dan James all cost upwards of £25m with far less pedigree in a top league than either of these guys, how low exactly should we be paying?
We tried underpaying for quality and it got us no where

We’re now adopting a policy of overpaying for crap … Emerson and Gil were breakthrough signings of this new approach

Plus we went all out to hire the right man for the job

Exciting times
 
Who needs tactics? ATTACK! bring back ardiles as coach and the famous 5!

I once scored a free kick from my own penalty box to the opposite end at Seven Kings High in Ilford. I was playing right wing back and everyone was having a debate about whether it should have been a free kick or not. Only when the ball was in the net did anyone believe the lanky cunt I was could put it in! Referee gave it eventually!

That said I also got sent off at 19 playing as a ringer for my cousins wife’s employers, the National Blood Service. I took out their central mid after 10 mins, nice foul, solid concussion, straight red. Living up to the blood in the name of the team 😂🤣
I once hit a 30 yard screamer into the top right corner of the net.
Unfortunately our fecking centre forward jumped and it grazed his eye lash and he was given the goal.
 
I think people are just jaded after the Traore and Diaz guzumpings, only thing that could explain the amount of whingeing going on in this thread at this news.

1. Kulu is a loan with an option to buy, if he's a complete bust we don't sign him
2. If the combined totals are €55m as reported that means we are paying £46m pounds in total (if options are exercised) or £23m each. Cheaper than Chris Wood in today's market for two young players with high level experience and good upside.
3. We currently have fucking WINKS getting regular minutes. Even if Bentancur turns out to be a Skipp/PEH -level player that is still an upgrade on the current situation.

A bit of positivity wouldn't go amiss! Cheer up:


Having watched this I can see a Victor Moses happening here! Let’s see if I’m right if we don’t sign a RWB I can see him being converted.
 
I dunno, our previous managers were pushovers with the exception of maybe Maureen, if Conte doesn’t want a player I’m pretty sure he’d kick up a fuss about it

Again I don’t think he doesn’t want them. I think it is likely he said the kind of player he wanted and left it to Paratici and Levy to get it.

He said he is manager and has to leave other stuff to them.

There is a middle ground between him not wanting them and them being the guys he wanted. Tgat is where I imagine he is.
 
My message for those whinging about these players is the same as it was for the "January is too hard" doofuses a week ago. From Conte's own words:

"To think we can fix everything in one transfer market is not reality, but there must be a place to start. Even if it is not the best opportunity, we must do something"
