Transfers January Transfer Thread 24/25

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

In the ENIC thread. But also worth being here too

 
Really concerning stuff from Twitter.

Apparently we can't even compete wages wise with what Forest are offering their current players and prospective targets.

I mean we can, but we choose not to.

It's just sickening really, what we have to put up with because of Levy. Even Forest are more ambitious than us.

Levy is happy to fleece the fans with the most expensive season ticket prices in the world, but won't pay wages to attract top talent over a club like Forest. Just someone please tell me, how the fuck is that fair? How the fuck does that cunt get away with it? He literally takes the piss out of the fans.

Cunha would make too much sense.

Can cover CF and also play that 8/10 role when everyone is fit.

Gooners can’t do loan deal and are they really willing to pay for a permanent deal in January?
Surely we can go head to head with Forest?

Offer Wolves enough money now so they have time to replace him


I’m less convinced about the sense of this one.

I don’t think he’s can play as an 8. He can play wide forward but I’m not convinced he’s the type of wide forward that we need. He’s more a second striker/10 type, all that’s where he’s played most of his best football, and we don’t play with either.

That’s - big IF - we are keeping Ange.

Yes but 'World of Hotspur' has never been supportive of Spurs even in good times,

Yep, with the Everton change, we will be in the Brighton Brentford Bournemouth group (behind Villa, Newcastle, Forest and Everton) but without the clever leadership.

Think he can definitely play 8. Pretty sure he’s played there for wolves
 
Nothing to lose is a position of strength from a certain perspective, plus I think it's really more a matter of his emotions in the moment than any intentional messaging strategy.

(As was true of Conte. That wasn't some pre-meditated attack, the guy is just emotionally volatile)

The point is, Ange is being completely hung out to dry by the club at this stage and is obviously furious having to watch the results.

Hung out to dry is fair to say. He had a half decent 1st season and then they bought him 1 senior player in 2 windows.

Whilst I do agree he isn’t the ideal fit stylistically with the Ange system, it’s worth remembering that:-

1) He’s a better CF than Solanke
2) He’s a better 10 than Kulusevski
3) He’s a better wide player than Son and Johnson.

We need good players, and lots of them. Cunha is a really really good player. If he’s available it should be a no-brainer for us if he’s interested in coming.
