Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Conor Gallagher next and this will have been one of the best January windows in recent memory and it all comes down to two things - Bayern tears and potential Chelski tears.

Good deal for everyone... Spurs get to let go of Dier & Djed

Radu goes to a progressive team & get to play very often in EPL , not a permanent 3rd choice going by how often our players get injured and suspended.

Bayern save some money on a 4th choice defender and gets Dier instead who will be comfortable as his best buddy for a decade is already there.

This one is more like Willian than anything else imo. A true gazumping, not actually Levy’s fault.

Here’s what has become clear to me.

a) The agent knew of Bayern’s interest beforehand and knew to let them know when a deal was agreed.

That’s the only possible explanation, unless you’re willing to believe a serious football club like Bayern Munich heard of Dragusin this week and slaps down €30m to spite us. No, they asked to be kept in the loop on the deal and then made a move at the last minute.

b) the haggling on Genoa and the agent’s side with all the fees was partly us but partly Genoa stalling trying to get big money involved because they knew of Bayern’s interest.

All of it has fallen into place now that we are where we are. I’d love to slag off Levy for this one but I honestly think this was unavoidable, Bayern were always paying attention to this one.

Nah...I'm not having it mate. Excuses for dragging out transfers and missing our targets and leaving the manager short are trademarks of the chump running our football club.... .even if, as I fully expect, we finally get this Romanian lad over the line.

Our manager was left heniously short in the summer and made it absolutely clear that he expected support as soon as the window opened..

IF this kid was the target, the fee, the package, the deal should have been agreed and sorted ready to sign as soon as the window opened......it's not even a top draw signing FFS, it's a kid with potential at the low end of the market and we're seemingly making a pigs arse even of this.

Any other big 6 club would have been ruthless and had him training with squad already.

Excuses ran dry long ago matey
 
People need to fcuking own up to their bo!!ocks. We are a big fcuking club but we also need perspective.

We are building here. Building a squad of young talented players who csn hopefully shine.

Another one this window and happy days.

Midfielder IS the target. Has to be.
