Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wasn’t aware at the time. I FND that shocking then especially by all accounts his actually not much of an improvement on what we have already. We certainly don’t another midfielder like him when we have 3 already. We needed a baller ffs.
Bentancur is not a loan.

Seriously how people get so involved in the minutua without taking the time to aquaint themselves with the basics astounds me......
 
I had about 10 years on SC, don't remember your username at all tbh.

I personally don't have an issue with SC, despite being banned. The biggest litany on there is "take everything with a pinch of salt." The fact that many on there, and here, take a snippet of "news" as gospel is their issue, not the site's. People choose freely to pay towards server costs, I was one of them and it had nothing to do with the itk.

If you don't like the way the site is run, and don't believe a word the itk say, then don't go on it, it's not that hard.

Further to that, don't post their itk on here if you think it's bullshit, all you're doing is perpetuating it.


Still, saying that you have to admit those that run SC (especially that bellend A&C) are a set of cunts no?
 
The more I think about it the more I think it would be strange for us not to address the RWB issue.

It is clear from the eye test that it's our weakest area and the reports of Conte's meeting suggest they feel the same.

Given how quickly the Kulu and Benty deals arrived and were done I reckon we see something similar tomorrow for a RWB.

No I don't.

Like I said I had 10 years on there, you don't spend that time on there if you hate the place and the way it's run. I had no issues with either Rob or A&C, still don't. I broke the rules there, so I don't have an axe to grind.

I've moved on, it would be nice if some others banned from there did the same too.

Edit: Having read that back, it does come across as a bit pompous and aggressive. It wasn't meant to be so apologies for that.

The reason you don’t recognise my username was in my reply to you. I wasn’t an active poster, I said that quite clearly.

The issue is misleading people to choose to donate by selling false hope. That’s just so wrong in my view, along with the “don’t ask questions” authoritarian management style.

I now choose to post and laugh at the SC ITK Bullshit shit show because I’m curious how people believe such garbage. Sharing it here is amusing because lots of folks here get the context and the joke.

So, if it’s ok with you I will keep posting what I find amusing. Maybe you like it, perhaps you don’t. Then you have a choice, pop me on ignore or just scroll past my posts. I won’t be breaking any rules or laws, so chill and just do your thing, and I will do mine.
 
Squad after Bentancur, and Kulusevski join, and loans out for Ndombele, Gil and Clark


GK's - Lloris, Gollini, Austin

CB's - Romero, Dier, Davies, Sanchez, Tanganga, Rodon
(with 3 CB's used by Conte, we could upgrade Rodon ?)

RWB - Royal, Doherty
LWB - Reguilon, Sessegnon

CM - Skipp, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Winks (plus Lo Celso and Dele if neither sold/loaned)

AM - Son, Moura, Kulusevski, Bergwijn

Striker - Kane


I think if we see a player tomorrow who we think is good and reasonable value, we would bid, but not that many decent players likely to move ? But will probably try to loan out players we don't really want

Ideally a RWB (= Doherty to move on), striker or even CB.

But if we don't see a player we think is good, we will revisit in the summer,

No problem.

If you think they're authoritarian though, avoid COYS like the plague.
 
On the subject of Hercules and his Herculean lies



SC are pretty pissed off at this, it’s been mentioned. Maybe stop posting bullshit and people won’t screenshot and laugh at you guys?


The guy used to elude to being connected, via youth contacts (or were part of it, honestly think he went to one youth game, got a pic with a coach, enough for SC to see £££), never heard him or trix come up with a relatable sentence which would validate some source, top one being = neither has made a prediction about a player before the press that then came to fruition.

Weird as you like.
 
Listened to the Transfer Window pod this afternoon whilst walking the dog. According to Castles, Liverpool were into Diaz long before we were, had been negotiating but refused to get anywhere near Porto's original asking price 60m, and said they'd come back in the summer for him. Us steaming in forced them to come back in, match our 45+15 offer, forced it into a player choice and the outcome was obvious.
They’ve been linked to him for at least two windows.

Was never coming here. I suspect his agents used us to flush Liverpool out.

I still would like a new CB, probs Rodon out.
I think Doc is at least OK as a RWB.
 
I’m not saying this just because he looks a little like him, but anyone think this Kulu could become our Bowen? Plays in similar positions, and his stats prior to this season for Juventus and Parma were pretty impressive. Scored goals and assisted. If he’s anything like Bowen, I’ll be over the moon
A 6ft 1 Bowen would be pretty monster TBF!
