Transfers January Transfer Thread 24/25

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Because there is obviously no plan.

The intention was obviously only to sign Kinsky but due to the pressure on the board they have been scrambling desperately to sign anyone to relive pressure on levy.

Disgusting behaviour by all involved and shows where the priorities of these snakes lies. Only do enough to save themselves and make money
I agree, and worth to add that technically Kinsky was meant to be bought in summer as well :D Guess we brought him only because of Foster fuckups :(
 
Nah, they don’t want to spend and these public fuck ups are the excuse.

I didn’t think so with Tel but this is so different to the patterns of transfers we actually wanted to do under Lange. Usually we hear almost nothing then it’s done…this smacks of Levy and Paratici undermining Lange and having very public fails as an excuse for not spending
undermining Lange hahaha

The weird looking fucker went to Germany first to get the Tel deal done ffs. Paradodgy was obviously dodgy but my God did i trust him to get a deal done but this guy?? when i heard he was off to Germany i genuinley started thinking of other potential targets.

That was Paratici before he was banned from football.

This is clearly his MO with the public sagas and they are all failing.

Every other Lange transfer happened in silence.
 
When u put pressure on a player to make a decision 2 days before the window closes and don’t do your due diligence , this is what u get . I don’t know why people think the window is opening January therefore nobody discusses transfer between September and January , if u r data driven have a list of players in each position that are targets so that when the window opens in Jan u have already negotiated a deal , this flying out on the Friday bollocks in nothing more than a PR exercise .
 
Yeah this is “we tried” on steroids,

Completely different to Lange style transfers where we hear nothing. This ain’t his MO. Has Levy and Paratici written all over it.

It’s so obvious that this is all one big charade to make it look like “they tried” to help Ange in the Jan window

You don’t bid for players unless you know they’re interested, it’s a waste of time

It’s so obvious but no doubt Spurs fans will take the opportunity for a bit of self pity and not see through what they are actually doing.

Levy has been in this business a long time. He knows what he’s doing.
 
As I have had it explained to me: If you follow how transfers work by the book, you have to get a verbal agreement with the club first before you are allowed to approach the player. Then if the player agrees you go back to the club and set up the paper work.

Obviously clubs work around this, but if you want to do it "by the book" it has to be club first, then player. Otherwise the club can claim that we tapped the player up.
Yeah but as no serious club does it by the book this is a pointless post.

This is the equivalent of posting "well technically the speed limit on the motorway is 70 mph"

Good luck with that, if we can't even figure out how to play the game with agents we aren't a serious football club

Think you are being way too generous on Lange here. He's proved to be completely incompetent. Levy and Paratici had no choice but to get involved to save the window but looks like the damage is already done and no decent player wants to come here

If that is genuinely the case and that is a big if then it’s sabotage and would make Levy worse, a lot worse than Sol Campbell.
