I want a threesome with Margot Robbie.
It’s not about what you want.
It’s about what’s realistic in a January window.
You’ve been given plenty of reasons why what you’re asking for is unrealistic. No EPL team (other than Sheffield) has made a signing — several, perhaps the majority, won’t. Data shows that there’s about a tenth of the movement in January as there is in Summer and you’re still expecting
‘2 CBs and strengthen in other areas’.

Give your head a wobble.

Tell me why buying a CB in time for the United game is not realistic and why we can't buy 2CBs in this window and strengthen in other areas? Is buying Cirkin as cover not realistic? Or making a bid for vermaelen not realistic?

The question is have you seen what other clubs have managed in January in the past to assess whether your request is reasonable or not.

Just to give you an example ManU (far more money than us) signed 3 loanees last January, the best of them being Wout Weghorst (ex Burnley striker).

So chances of any club signing two good players permanently in January ...... is low

Well we revamped our scouting set up surely to give us a bit of edge over Man U and money ball clubs.
As been pointed out many times our buys have improved, such as Udogie and Sarr. Why can't we do smart buys like that in this window?
 
I’m feeling tentatively positive for the rest of the season. Which comes from a mix of things, I guess a big part is players coming back from injury and suspension but also the noises coming through on here that were likely to get another CB and another attacking option. We could also see one more bought in on loan which will help us see out the season. I also think players like GLC stepping up helps the positive feeling.

if we can keep the momentum and make another couple of shrewd signings in the summer then it’s more reasons to be excited.

not gonna lie, would love the fa cup this season (and the spammers to get relegated)

That was Bade and the source was twitter, I don't see us paying the 55m Euro release clause.

Did I vouch for the source or the likeliihood?

[checks......]

Nope.

BTW: Twitter itself isn't a "source"...

It's just a platform upon which people post statements of varying credibility; that may or may not contain credible root-sources...... Pretty sure this shouldn't have to be explained to someone with such obvious media quality-control protocols as yourself and your trusty NewsNow>SpursHub-have-heard>via-HITC>Courtesy-of-some-nonsense-from-a-Spanish-fan-forum info-path.


Or is this just selective "snobbery" on your part? :freund:

Did I say you did? I was just telling you the name of the player and where the story came from.

Do you honestly think we can get 2 Champions League standard CBs in a January window?

You pull names out of your ass without even knowing if any of them are actually available.
Is Cirkin available?

Contending teams don’t want to sell their best assets. Neither do teams in danger of relegation.
Players don’t want to move. There’s literally 1/10th of the movement. We’re only interested in players that are CL standard.

This isn’t tough to understand but you tenaciously fail to grasp the point.
