Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Absolutely tragic that it looks like we aren't bringing anyone in. Even if we had everyone fit, we'd still need some better quality in certain positions and there are players out there that we could get. When you then look at how decimated our squad is and the current precarious league position, it looks utterly baffling why we aren't going in big on a couple of players. Utter disaster could be on the cards if we don't improve this squad.
 
Finished 17th last year with 22 defeats. Currently 14th with 9 losses already. Playing the worst football known to man, animals and aliens. Out of both domestic cups. A zillion players injured...and 75% of the squad is shite anyway.

Signed Gallagher. An unknown 19yo who was playing in Brazil's Champo til recently. And some Scottish kid attacker when we've already got Dane, Lanks, Donley, LWB, Melia, Yusuf and a fair few others with/near the first team.

Incompetence and negligence don't even begin to cover it.

Now, I said I would give them a chance, and they have had 4 weeks to undo decades of the club being by a narcissistic twat.

I don't what people are complaining about, people have their expectations way to high and expecting the clubs issues to solved instantly, in one fecking window. Never going to happen.

What they have done, is not panic buy, spending 30-40 million, or a hundred options to buy, then buy them, then not use them and send them out on lone.

Okay, we didn't everything sorted, but we also didn't buy 99.9% of the shit we was linked by wankers on Twatter...

Said it before and I will say it again, it will be the summer when things should really start to happen.

Whist everyone has been crying and whining that their unrealistic expectations haven't been met, I have been tinkering with my PC, and get CashyOS running sweet, learning how to rebuild bootloader, fix refind, and edit partition information and file structures.

My day has been enjoyable... And we signed another promising youngster, coz the quality of strikers is fucking woeful at the moment. So I'm cool... how about the rest of you?
 
James Wilson was really hyped last season up here. To the extent he got on the pitch as a sub for Scotland v Greece. Not up against a huge amount of competition, but good for a young lad. Doesn’t seem fancied by the manager this season though.

Hearts supporting mate is raging that Wilson doesn’t play and is similarly miffed that he’s leaving. However, their position at the top of the league suggests the manager maybe has this one right?

Hey the football isn't all bad.

We just have to be down 2 or 3 goals before it gets good....

God I hope one of these days the club start to do things properly. I'm almost 40. I want to see more than just a x2 League Cups & 1xEuropa. I was too young for the FA cup in 91. But I might have to count the Vodacom Challenge, Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament, Barclays Asia Trophy, International Champions Cup and who can forget the Audi Cup

Mate, I remember this team getting relegated back in 77.
This team is trying to repeat that season, but anyway, it's disappointing to not build on winning a European trophy last season.
It's difficult to see these clowns achieve anything, club needs to be sold.

Fabrizio Romano on Tottenham and transfer deadline day...

"Look, there could be some possibility, let's see for sure, Spurs made some calls in the last 24 hours exploring opportunities, exploring chances, then let's see, I think there is still a space and time to see something happening, then obviously it's never that easy in the January window... for example, they were considering the possibility to add a striker to the squad but many clubs are looking for strikers and it's not easy to find in the market especially in the final hours, so, let's see, I think there is still something they are trying to do but it's not something guaranteed because again it's about opportunities, it's not about top, top targets at this stage of the market."

Im not fan of Romano, but how damning is this?

last 24 hours

exploring opportunities

chance

might add a striker but other clubs want strikers (so?!)

last minute dash before the window shuts

cant get top targets at this point


Why the fuck are we in this position at this point of the window?

Because spending £150m on players like Strand-Larsen or Mateta — guys who are available and being actively shopped — isn’t the sign of ambition that some think it is.
There were probably two (or three) UCL level players transferred this window:
Semenyo, who had a release clause that was triggered.
Guehi, because the selling club weren’t prepared to let him walk away for nothing in summer.

Connor Gallagher is probably the third rated player transferred this window.

And, yes, I’m disappointed we didn’t buy a senior LB but I sure as hell don’t want Andy Robertson for the next three years and you would be bonkers if you did.

There’s a reason that clubs get to spend six times more in summer than January. You completely and conveniently ignore the bits that you want to. There’s a phrase for that.

There's nothing wrong with this signing at all in isolation, nothing at all. It's the lack of experience coming in alongside him which is the problem

Yeah I’m down for signings like this it’s just we need some experienced heads in as well and I was hoping with us making the last 16 of the CL Frank might have been given some tools to work with
