Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I didn't know who Dragusin was two weeks ago, so I can't really be that upset. Plus the added stakes of "loser gets Dier" is pretty amusing to me at this point.

In all seriousness, the dithering and dragging their feet is what irritates me the most about ENIC and Levy. I said earlier (somewhere on this site) that they knew for months they needed a CB right away in this window. As soon as they sold Sanchez, they knew they had to have one lined up. And still, they couldn't be prepared in advance and couldn't have it all set for January 1. totally believable, but just as frustrating incompetence.

This. All of this.
 
How many Romanian restaurants are there in Genoa?

Did ange get to talk to him I wonder? I think we'd be the easier sell even though bayerns are the much bigger club .
Upamecano and Kim aren't being pushed out that side, just think he has much more opportunity at spurs as Romero is always going to be either injuries or suspended for lengthy chunks , vdv too probably with the way we play:ange-hmm:
 
Because of the timing of Fab’s report combined with admin dropping this video right after that. It all points to bad news with Dragusin. I will bet a lot of money he ends up with Bayern there’s way too much smoke pointing that way.

Answer me this - why exactly would Bayern make an official proposal if they hadn’t received word from his agent that he’d choose them? Do you think Bayern are in the business of officially bidding for players wishfully?

His agent wants money. He doesn't give a fuck who he signs for 😂😂
 
As far as I know, Genoa isn't in major financial troubles and don't need to sell him. Why wouldn't they drag their feet and wait to see if other larger bids come through?

They are half way getting through a negotiation to try to get Italian tax authorities to write off half the tax they owe - 100m - 200m I think.

If that deal doesn't get done Genoa are bankrupt without 777 pumping more money in that 777 doesn't have.
 
It's not a matter of any effort you think I'm making.... So pls don't patronise me.

I've simply shared my thoughts on the matter; both now and over the last week or so.... Just like you have.

I've not reassured you that the deal would happen at any time; so if it HAS fallen through you'll just have to cope like the rest of us
Stop being so modest

You are great at your job , believe in yourself

You got this

This is the bit I don’t understand. Not a good look for the new appointments. Unless their recommendations were ignored over Dragusin being a paratici pick?

If that is the case, it might mean we can switch to another target quickly. If we don’t get this bloke of course.

So we are agreed they thought they could use their tried and tested tactics of using the player's interest as leverage to drive the price down and it's come back to bite them on the arse.

Some you win, some you lose. For every Vicario you get the odd Dragusin. The more times you pull it off and beat the market, the more likely other clubs are to circle around your kills looking to steal it from you.

106m… they got a concession to pay 65m over the next 10 years but there’s still a court decision on this structure, planned for this month…
