Been a few other names floated........ Can't remember their names now...... Sevilla bloke was one yday.
VDV comfortably dropped straight in without a pre-season.
Yeah he's buying the club!
van de Ven started the first game of the season on about 2 days training.
Dragusin plays every week. He's match fit
Some of that business may have to wait until the summer... Dunno, I guess we'll soon find out
For me, not a popular opinion here but, I'd keep Hojbjerg until the summer as opposed to splashing the cash for a midfielder. I'd keep that space open for Alfie Devine or Jamie Donley. Either of those wouldh be fine behind Lo Celso. Sarr, Maddison, Bemtancur and Bissouma (+Kulusevski perhaps) going into next season
The obvious sticking point there is Lo Celso which, depending on what happens, could see us having to buy a replace,emt
Same sources that said Conte 'greenlit' the Spence deal which must be why he played so much for him...
...also seem to recall mouthpiece Ally Gold talking a load of shit saying how professional he was during training and how impressed everyone was.
That was Bade and the source was twitter, I don't see us paying the 55m Euro release clause.
Yeh...... That's why he's really coming back from the Saudi league.
He's returning to the UK as the patsy for the Saudi crown prince...... We'll have a multibillion sleeve sponsorship from a backstreet mechanic registered to a lock-up on Teeside as of next season.

I think PEH will stay anyway. He doesn't want to go to a lesser clubs and Italian and Spanish clubs can't afford him.
Careful now, opinion trumps fact don't you know?
100 % agree.
They won't be alone. Not signing a decent CH this window would be criminal negligence.Dragusin is becoming a bit of a saga and one I wouldn't be that surprised to see go pear-shaped at this stage. Obviously none of us are privy to the negotiations, so we don't know what's happening...and the Italian sports media, bar the famous pink sheet, are quite unreliable.
Are Genoa being overly difficult, moving the goalposts, playing us against Napoli & co? Is the player's rep messing about? Does the player really wanna leave ahead of the Euros? Or is that us being too tight, trying to renegotiate...the so-called 'usual Spurs tactics' as POK referred to the other day?
None of us fucking knows zilch, but whatever is happening, it's a (slight) worry that it's now Jan 7th and we still haven't brought in a new CB, considering how massive a need it is, even more so now that Big Ben's out (yes, I know Micky is on his way back but).
I'd really love to know:
A. When the Dragu convo startedB. If he even is Ange's first choiceC. Who is the plan B if/when the Radu deal goes to shit...and how quickly can we turn that backup round
Forget about Werner, a new CM, Dier & other deadwood leaving/not...this window was all about a new CB.
Let's stay positive and hope we do bring in the Romanian Hulk or another one of big Ange's wishes ahead of Utd, yet if we were to end the month without a new CB, surely the club owes us fans a proper no-bs explanation. Don't even wanna imagine the uproar on here...can already hearTottenham Massive &
Richard Arlison sharpening their daggers.
Good job we are.
If he’s in he’ll play hopefully. The only thing I’d Dragusin comes in he’ll need to have trained to understand how high we play because it’s different from any other high line I’ve seen and Genoa play quite deep.
Nice one. I think the rest of the forum would to well to follow our lead.We can politely agree to disagree.
Fine examples of how a forum can work harmoniously

Transfer news: Winter transfer window 2024 | Premier League ins and outs
Keep up to date with all the latest news across the whole of the transfer window with the Transfer Centre blog on Sky Sports website and app, and on Sky Sports News
Sheffield United have signed one player on loan, the other 19 PL clubs have signed ZERO players on loan so far this January
All 20 PL clubs have failed to sign a single player on a permanent basis.
Nothing to do with anyone being overly difficult, its just the process is not easy
The reality is signing players (ie getting agreement between 2 clubs, the player, various agents and not to mention player partners/family who can suddenly stop deals happening) takes more time and effort than most people understand.
And that's not to mention that there are very few players available in January that most fans would want to see at their club - most players do not want to move mid season and prefer to stay with their current clubs.
And that's why Spurs are in the same position as all other PL clubs as of today - nobody has signed a player (except Sheffield United ....... who are more than willing to accept new Sheffield United fans from other clubs wanting to celebrate a new signing
)So, sadly, its dreams of new players versus reality !
So its time for
and hope next week for a new signing or two !Good point about the Euros.Dragusin is becoming a bit of a saga and one I wouldn't be that surprised to see go pear-shaped at this stage.

Van de Ven had a maximum of one days training between signing and his first match for training ! And he turned out alright !
