Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Think we've only 'overspent' on Wood, but that was a needs must kind of transfer. Other than Wilson we've only really got Gayle as an out and out striker at the club.

Make no mistake, if Wilson hadn't got injured we wouldn't have considered buying Wood. But he did, so we activated a release clause and got an experienced, bang average PL striker in with the minimum amount of fuss.

All the other transfers are the going rate, right? England rightback and La Liga winner for £12m? Young promising Brazilian international midfielder for £33m? Lower Prem CB for £15m? and a LB on loan.

Good business if you ask me. Especially because that business fills the most pressing holes in our squad. That championship defence now looks lower Prem. That midfield now has mobility and quality. We've now got some depth up front.

End of the day we've done better business than all the teams around us, so I'm happy.

I'll be happy when you lot get the relegation you so richly deserve :). Now get off our site.
 
Weirdly I've never 'ignored' anyone on here, I just scroll past pages on conversations instead.

Perhaps its time I started.
Don't do it mate. It's the way of the coward.

Notice how after 5 seasons with one manager, the carousel started turning in sync with our record signing’s arrival…

This is him in a teapot. Takes responsibility for nothing, no introspection at all. Same as on the pitch, took responsibility for the square route of fuck all.

Hopefully his use of the past tense means all and sundry are taking it as a given that he’s not coming back.

So he fancies a 6th manager at lyon

Some people on here are particularly distasteful. They'll say pretty horrid things to people they don't know without a moments thought. They go on ignore PDQ. I wouldn't associate with people like that in the real world, let alone have them say shit like that to me online.
And some people are just argumentative trolls that just like to argue all day every day. Sammy etc. They just decide to have a different opinion to the popular one and argue it, relentlessly.
See below....


Its liberating mate.

Threads are so much easier to read without hundreds of posts with abuse and needless name calling.
 
Brexit was just a symptom of how polarised society is, not the cause.

It was both. It tapped into some latent and overt xenophobia and nationalism but also actively sought to polarise where previously there had been consensus/ambivalence or at least less polarisation.

Ironically, it has or could also have some negative ramifications for football and transfers. So not completely off topic here.
 
Forgive us if we don’t heed the almighty wisdom of someone who disagreed with and started arguing with a post they didn’t realize was their own.

Easily top 5 dumbest things I’ve seen on here and that’s no mean feat considering I’ve been in the politics thread.
It might genuinely be Gazza on the other end at this rate 😂 I gave up about 3 days ago with him, it's a lost cause.

But bless the fella, I still wish him well.
 
Other than spurs fans, have there been anyone else who think hes a cunt? Havent really heard of anyone else hating him much.
Like I mentioned in a previous post, I've a fair few mates who are die-hard OL fans. When I spoke with them ahead of signing Dombs, they all said "He's been great for us and still got lots of upside, but my oh my the dude is an immature dick and just not a nice bloke."

He would always be the first one out at training and would regularly refuse to spend time chatting with fans, taking pics and signing autographs. Even for kids. Would barely acknowledge fans singing his name with a thumbs up. And on the occasions some gave him stick for a poor game, he'd openly launch insults at them.

Even now he's back, some aren't thrilled. They're just happy Lyon got a body in after they lost Bruno to Newcastle. But they'd have preferred somebody else.

I'm not really saying he's a cunt, just that if a load of different people with different perspectives share an opinion of someone, they tend to be largely right.

So in this case, five very different managers have reached the same conclusion. It's a fair bet that they're onto something and that it's Ndombele who's out of step
