Transfers January Transfer Thread 24/25

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He did it before when we had a decent chance of the league in Jan, Redknapp wanted Tevez and Cahill (both doable) and the bald gimp signed Saha and Ryan fucking Nelsen

A small part of me thinks one day when he's an old man with 500 million in the bank, he'll have regrets at not cementing himself as one of the most cherished if not the most cherished figures ever at his apparent boyhood club.

Like can you imagine if for both redknapp and poch he made major moves to bring it home and probably be worshipped for all time by spurs fans.

But then I remember that an extra 100-200 million of net worth probably means more
 
Wow!!!
What a fantastic article. Pulls no punches and states the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Every Spurs fan should be forced to read through every word. And some then need to take a cold, hard look at themselves.

Airfixx Airfixx , scarletjim scarletjim , Top_Spur Top_Spur etc... a penny for your thoughts?
I don't know why you felt the need tag us or think it was some kinda 'gotcha moment'.

At this current moment in time it's quite a good article and the points raised are true but we all know how football can change, same as opinions.
 
It's alright lads, "the club is working hard..."
How fucking hard is it really? I get it's "not like buying a pint of milk", but how do negotiations take more than one call to agree a fee??

Levy: will you take this for him?

Them: No

Levy: How about this?

Them: No

Levy: OK what about this?

Them: No

Levy: Crikey I'm tired, let's reconvene tomorrow...

:levywtf:

Fucking do it or don't, it shouldn't take 3 weeks to still be just fucking "working hard" monitoring ffs...
 
This is shaping up to be such an odd window.

The squad is decimated with injuries, and getting close to the point where we just need bodies in. I'd almost excuse the club for bandaid fixes, like the Werner loan last season. Players that might not set the league on fire, but would provide some rotation.

Alternatively they can stick to the young player project, get some lesser known, cheap youngsters in, but we're not even doing that either by the looks of it.

Maybe there's more serious takeover stuff going behind the scenes, which I personally doubt . But even if there was you could understand not putting bags of money on the table, but you'd still expect some reaction to this mess we're in.
My hunch is that we're either finding out that players we want aren't for sale and the players who are available are not interested in joining the current dumpster fire we have going on where the (unqualified) manager may or may not be sacked any day now.

That leaves the only players we could sign being true desperation squad filler which probably just becomes deadwood we can't shift in 6 months.

I think we're also contending with the fact that financially we posted a big loss last year, are certainly going to post an even larger loss for 2023-24 without European competition and, unless we miraculously pull off winning the EL this season, will post a substantial loss for 2024-25 and lock in a record breaking loss for 2025-26 with no European competition.

Hiring Ange has properly fucked us. We're in a big hole and it's difficult to see how we climb out.

Again, this is why I just cannot fathom why we did not sack him after Ipswich. Potentially going to be Levy's greatest mistake in a history fraught with them.
 
This shity January window stuff needs to be consigned to history. Allow everyone to buy a set number of players from 1/10 to 30/6 each season. Either 2 or 3 seems reasonable and stop this fucking joke.

Between 1 July and 3 September summer window and crack on all you like.
