Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Coming from the Danish press is that Roony will be prioritizing playing time and thus finding the best place to play regularly and develop further, rather than the largest pay-packet currently on offer. So he'll favor a move to a club on the continent where he'll be a regular starter. Which for him is a wise choice.

How about this fella


36 , so he has bags of experience, playing for the team bottom of league 2 , character building

Apparently a left back but I reckon he could adapt at CB , our fans seem obsessed with trying players out of position so he fits into that perfectly

100k valuation could prove to be problematic though

Spending equals success if you have a good plan like City or to a lesser degree Arse but it needs a coherent vision of how you want to play combined with elite scouting.

Boehy came in, decided he would only buy young players and get a manager like Potter then Poch with a track record of improving young players.

The players he bought have been mostly shit, worse than Chelsea’s academy. I would love to know how he came up with the player list he went for.

Additionally Chavs had the best academy in the league, yet most of them have been sold off and are arguably better than the players they bought.

Recent years players who have been a part of it have included:

- Gallagher
- Tomori
- Guehi
- Colwell
- Chalobah
- Livermento
- Lamptey
- Lewis Hall
- Christensen
- Loftus Cheek
- Billy Gilmore
- Declan Rice (they let him go mid way to Hammers)
- Mason Mount
- Jamal Musiala
- Tammy Abramham

Just think about that list if they were Spurs and we sold them all off or most of them anyway. I mean Rice, Musiala, Tomori, Abraham could all do a job for Chavs right now and add Gallagher to the potential leaving party if we buy him.

EQP on SC about Roony:

One rumour doing the rounds here in Copenhagen is that he is really 21 and not 18 years old. His official age is just what was reported by his father upon entering Sweden as an immigrant, and not from an official COB. This is supposedly also why FCK somewhat surprisingly refused to release him for a youth international tournament with Sweden, where wrist-scanning where to be used to control age compliance.

While this is all speculation and unconfirmed rumours, it's obvious why FCK would like his age to stay as low as possible, since his potential sale price as an 18-year old at his current level and expected potential would be considerably higher than as an 21-year old.

No matter the above he's obviously a very talented player, but far from the finished article and is often subbed. In 17 games in the Danish league this season, he's only played a total of 939 minutes. Started 14 and subbed on in 3.
