Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Peak spurs. Can't be arsed with paying up for already decent, established players so try to beat the game by getting in random blokes with potential from the French league.
Rennes academy one of the best in Europe and Truffert is highly rated. Capped for France aged 20. He’ll end up at a top club. Or spurs I guess.

Not sure why we’d sign him if Udogie is coming. Young players need minutes.

Funny thing is we can pretty much spend what we want due to FFP. We have one of the richest owners in football yet act like skint spivs.
Of all the fucking clubs in the world of football, WE get the one filthy rich owner who refuses to spend money on the club and instead TAKES our money!!!

You couldn´t make it up. I´m starting to feel it´s my fault this club is cursed.

What are you rambling on about?

I have no affiliation to anyone but I am balanced. When I call it wrong I will say so.

I thought our summer's work was good and was more than content, only thinking we needed to get a player in if Conte was not going to use Gil.

What I did not expect and neither am I as smart as you and the merry band of spenders who could have foreseen how poor the following have been:

Conte

Son

Bissouma

Richarlison


Add to these 4, injuries to Kulusevski and Bentancur and I think you can see that in theory our squad is good enough but you cannot (unless we are as able to foresee as you) sone sound reasons for our relative paucity.

But on 15 million pounds a year you expect a manager to do a damn sight better, regardless of his merry band of apologists.
Of that list it´s probably Conte who has made the other 3 look bad
 
My personal vision of the next few weeks

I suspect Poundland is currently in the studio at the state of the art training facility that he unnecessarily haunts everyday, telling himself that all around him are letting the club down , are failing to realise his vision of dominating the football world . He knows that the only thing to lift spirits is a creepy video speaking to the fans in the kind of way that made him the kid at school everyone thought was a slimy prick.
So it’s scapegoat time and the DOF which is on Poundland in the first place has fortunately thrown himself under the bus. I fully expect when Syrup goes the video which is as keenly anticipated as the next series of Line Of Duty will drop.

Coming soon : Tottingham Rangers it’s all their Fault

Squad in need of an a rebuild.
Our few decent players just in need of an arm round them and assurance.
Young fullbacks raring to go.
Fans wanting some kind of connection with the club again..

Pick up the phone and call the man, bring him home.

He’s magic, you know

I want to agree and disagree with this post all at once

Do I want him back most definitely YES
Do I want Poundland to break him and tarnish his memory most definitely NO
 
21st January signed no-one. Shameless.
Club will 100% keep leaking stories about potential signings, takeovers or investors to keep all the fans engaged and somewhat placated throughout the remainder of the window. Then when they don't get anyone in, not anyone actually needed anyway, they'll say they tried but the market wasn't right for big purchases.

Then in the summer window, they'll target unrealistic players like gvardiol or bastoni (or other players who have turned them down before and clearly aren't interested) and not get them in, before bringing in someone dodgy on a loan with an option for peanuts.

Sounds like just the thing my totally, 100% fictitious Poundland character would do, spooky
