Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

When I had seen Hojbjerg more than you’ve likely seen Bentancur, I was also wondering whether he was a 6 or an 8. Now I think he’s more of an 8.

Conte did figure out what to do with Eriksen in the end, it just took a little time. I think he’ll figure out both Bentancur and Kulu in time for next season. If it takes a few months for them to get up to speed then that’s ok imo.

I don’t think Hojbjerg is either a great 6 or a great 8. He’s a hybrid, but not necessarily in the good way.

Great attitude etc, does some good shit, but some big flaws.
 
We’re at an all you can eat buffet, so far weve only decided on a couple of dishes and still considering what else to have from the mountain of food on offer👍👍

Also we need to think about not eating too much otherwise we’ll be full and could miss out on some delightful dishes being offered up in a few months time…

All that glitters is not gold….

Looks like Kulusevski and Bentancur are done deal atm which is good - and I assume we would prefer to make each permanent (which the latter would be if we are successful this season).

However we start with 23 players in the squad who are over age 21 and need to be registered at end of Transfer Window (Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Austin, Dele, Sessegnon, Lloris, Doherty, Sanchez, Dier, Rodon, Reguilon, Davies, Hojbjerg, Lo Celso, Lucas, Ndombele, Son, Bergwijn, Gollini, Royal and Romero plus Sessegnon and Gil who will need to be registered next season for UEFA purposes.

So atm we are at the maximum 25 players in the squad.

Do you have any news on which players deals have almost certainly been done - Ndombele to Lyon seems to be heavily rumoured and Gil could be a done deal. But Lo Celso ?

Seems to me that we need to know definitely who is definitely leaving before being able to sign others now ?!

And also know how many we can get in a few months time rather than having to offload them in the summer first - hopefully the likes of Ndombele will play on loan back in the comforts of Lyon and not be a nightmare to offload in the summer ?
 
Did that young player from Lewes turn us down because we weren't prepared to pay his salary demand or is it because he was getting stick from Spurs fans?

He’s hard to categorise but he’s useful all over. Clearly he can play key passes in the final third but also decent breaking up play in our half.

He’s not the kind of player where you thank god he’s playing in a CL game but with his attitude I think you can have 2 or 3 at his level in the starting 11 and compete at the top level.

It’ll be interesting to see how Bentancur compares to Hojbjerg.
 
These two guys aren't exactly world beaters but they're typical January signings, out of favour with their club or expendable to make way for other signings...
