Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That is an interesting discussion...

PEH situation is interesting indeed. Now it seems that Juve in fact does not want to get in Phillips, so that can give us a chance.
Question is - do they REALLY-REALLY want him (meaning are they willing to cash in on someone else to get him).

If they do not, its gonna be difficult and I doubt he will move in January.

I agree - he himself wants out. And from club perspective, it would be optimal time to sell. The discount for short contract increases very rapidly at this stage. But it all boils down to interest and ability to really ship out some money from buying club. Right now I do not see any other realistic buyer. Maybe - again Fulham if they sell Palinha. Just saying "italian clubs, spanish clubs, prem clubs" is empty words. Few clubs in Spain and Italy are able and willing to pay 20+ million euros for 28 yo player in my view.

My gut feeling - if we receive offer of 20 mil or above - he goes. If we don't he stays because 10-15 million we can get in summer as well, and then we still have him as insurance policy for 2nd half of the season.
My ideal scenario - we sell both, PEH and GLC, pool the money and add some more and buy a really good midfielder that would push strongly for starting spots.

I think we get a loan with obligation to buy for around 20m

I’d keep GLC until the summer at least though. The money it would cost to get a player that covers 8 and 10 like that is way outside our January budget imo
 
If we bring Dragusin in this week then I think we can all be pleased. Even the most sceptical of poster (me included) must be surprised we are doing business this early (yes I’m aware he hasn’t signed yet). I’m sure the usual will now move the goal posts but all must be satisfied by the intent.
