Nice use of "finagle" there, I'd never heard that word before.CM and CB depth can be easier to finagle your way into, especially as it’s much more common for those players to not fit into a certain system and be underutilized.

But is it spelled finaigle ?Nice use of "finagle" there, I'd never heard that word before.
Yeah he's definitely not moving from Real to sit on our bench in a bit part role.
A player like that ends up in the MLS as a star signing like Busquets.
Yeah he’s going to be good. Plays with his head up and looks like he knows how to play the game already.

‘Timing is not good’ - Kelly set for spell out with hamstring injury
LLOYD Kelly is set for a spell on the sidelines due to a hamstring injury.www.bournemouthecho.co.uk
He added: “It is a hamstring injury. I don’t how many weeks, but it is going to be some weeks. The timing is not good, because we are playing a lot of games in December, key games for us. But normally injuries come at the worst time. That’s what has happened now with Lloyd.
Must be the Irish spelling !!
Have been thinking about it since rumours emerged last week but actually not against Tanganga coming back in, under circumstances.
Initially I wasn’t at all keen and thought it would be a huge backwards step.
However, IF we look to sign a CB and agree to let Dier go on a free, then Japhet as a 4th choice till rest of the season I don’t feel is the worst idea.
For clarification I think we need to sign a new CB but I think Tanganga a)isn’t getting game time in Germany anyway, b) is more suited than Dier to Angeball, c) will be on significantly lower wages than Dier.
We can then move on in the summer by which time Phillips/Dorrington could be more viable options in Postecoglu’s mind for 24/25 season - particularly if we can secure Dorrington a loan in Jan.
He's had 27 games to prove himself - which he didn't.To be fair to him, he's never had a run of games to show his worth. That's not to say he's the answer mind
He's had 27 games to prove himself - which he didn't.
But I would recall him and lend him out to an English club - where he would get game time.
Plenty of ITK....of ITK words....

As much effort will to be made in moving players out as bringing new ones in, although whether moving players on is a feasible goal remains to be seen. Of course, outgoings are not as exciting as incomings, however we have a plan for the summer window which, to be viable (from a squad size perspective), requires a non-trivial number of outgoings.
Ange's January 'In' list is relatively short and contains players for positions that any Spurs fan would predict (eg CB). A couple of the targets seem (to me) to be unlikely for the January window - more likely/less unlikely in the summer; one or two others are feasible. Biggest debate within the THFC brains trust at the moment is whether there's a need to bring in another ACM in January.
Well, that was my point as well
