Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What was the point of buying takai? He came here last summer we didn’t send him on loan then gets injured . Now he is on loan. What are club up to with all these young players the ones we buy and our own. It’s a complete shit show. Not one us getting any first team football for spurs.
its like trying to copying Chelsea
cant remember when they started doing it exactly i think 2005 when they bought like all the "wonderkids" from around the world , only for them to be loaned out every year till the contracts expired
one name i remembered as being always mention was Marco van Ginkel ( i looked this up just now he was at chelsea 2013–2021 but only has 2 apps fro them he now plays for Boavista F.C.)
 
Absolute crap.

Levy has micromanaged and overseen 40 plus transfer windows.

ENIC without Levy have had 1 so far and they have been saddled with Levy's managerial pick and his Sporting Director who is now leaving.

ENIC may well prove to be more of the same without Levy but;

Most of the current frustration stems from the 40 plus Levy windows where we were always left short.

What top tier player would want to sign for Spurs, with this manager, in the current climate?

What we should be blaming ENIC for is not sacking Levy after Conte went. Or Nuno. Or Jose. Or Poch.

We need to put pressure on ENIC to invest in the team or sell up.

Daniel Levy is going to become a billionaire off the back of THFC.

Please think about this.
You seem to think that Levy was the only person who took major - and minor - decisions at Spurs. Those final decisions lied with the Lewis family. If Levy was so powerful why did Lewis manage to kick him out?
I never said he was perfect and he certainly had his flaws but he did not deserve all the hate he got from so many fans on various fan forums. And, yes, he deserved criticism for several of his decisions (particularly some of those he hired as managers/head-coaches).
ENIC took over a club that had been mediocre for decades and was still in bad shape financially after Alan Sugar saved the club from going bankrupt.
It was not granted back then that Spurs would be stable financially and one day have some of the stadiums and training facilities in world football.

We'll know a lot more about the new Lewis kids' ambitions after the next window, but, agree- at least for now Levy is looking like a more sympathetic figure in retrospect.
 
6 arrivals at Fiorentina by the looks of it.
You know, the club our DoF or whatever his made up title is went to.
Yeah but theyre in a relegation scrap whilst we're...oh

  • Manor Solomon (Left Winger, Tottenham Hotspur): Loaned to Fiorentina, cutting short his loan at Villarreal.
  • Marco Brescianini (Central Midfield, Atalanta): Signed on a 6-month loan with a reported €10m-€12m purchase option.
  • Jack Harrison (Left Winger, Leeds United): Signed on a 6-month loan with a reported option to make the move permanent for ~€10m.
  • Giovanni Fabbian (Attacking Midfield, Bologna): Signed on loan.
  • Daniele Rugani (Centre-Back, Juventus): Loaned from Juventus for the second half of the season.
  • Eman Kospo (Centre-Back, Barça U19): Confirmed arrival.
  • Luca Lezzerini (Goalkeeper, Brescia): Free transfer.
  • Arnis Ademi (Left-Back, Young Boys): Signed as a free agent

What koko said, "Big Club" mentality of buying up talent and then loaning it out to see how it does.

I cant stand the cunt, but I try to be fair - I suspect this is Langes single strong point - spotting those developing players.

Some you'll sell for decent money to pay for the process

A rare few might actually be first team players one day

I dont mind this kind of speculation, unless it seems to be the only policy we have...

Do you know what I love about the window closing?

All the accounts that are genuinely rattled by people like me having intel.Spurs had some top targets.

Some I reported on publicly, some I kept within my group.

None of the top tier targets came off. That’s football. You move on.

Last January I said we were still in for Tel when everyone said it was dead.

I was told it was nonsense, that a player of that calibre would never join Spurs. He joined.

A few months later, the fanbase were slating him, despite stating the club would never push the boat out to sign him.

In the summer I said Simons was our top target. The response was the same: we’ll never attract a talent like that.

A few months later, he joins.

A few bad games and suddenly most are slating him, blaming the board and saying we should’ve got the Eze deal done.

Surprise surprise, after a few good games they flip-flop again but can’t seem to comprehend the board landed a top target.

I broke the Kudus price when everyone else, including the so-called ‘GOAT of Spurs Twitter’ was saying it was £15m higher an hour before the deals and fee was agreed.

I said Johnson would leave before others. I said Takai would go on loan. And countless other things besides.

I’m very comfortable with the intel I have. I share some targets and some negotiations, and I’m just as comfortable doing that with 10 followers as I would be with 10k.

If you don’t like the intel be a big boy and unfollow/mute/block me.

Honestly, the biggest thing I’ve enjoyed about this window over the past few weeks is how much I and others seem to rattle people, what should be grown men appears to live very unhappy lives It’s genuinely starting to make my day.I’m confident in the direction of the club, future is bright, future is lily-white.

Are any of his boasts remotely true?

Certainly have no inclination to dig it all back up.........

Anyone know what has happened to Levy.Surely there would have been no reason for him not to attend games . I’ve never seen him…He has a large shareholding so I can’t see that he has been banned unless he has done something seriously wrong.

Why is it that people named Rudolph seem 5o be so knowledgeable? That Russian guy who shares your name is always 100% correct in predicting the weather in Moscow. Yes, Rudolph the red nosed reindeer.
 
he did not deserve all the hate he got from so many fans on various fan forums.

Daniel Levy has ponced off THFC for a quarter of a century.

He will soon be a billionaire while Spurs flounder in a non football stadium and drift towards the 2nd tier of English football.

Levy deserves all the criticism he receives and more.

He has left the club in a civil war with itself.

The miser should have been sacked by ENIC at least 5 years ago.

Had they acted then things may not have got this bad.

ENIC would never sign off on all those!

TWO or THREE woulda been nice though, eh, scrote-head?

Sorry, but this is just wrong, Levy had the final say on transfers and day today running of the clubs. Joe was very much hands off, left Levy to run all.

All the Levy pleb still to this day, will praise levy for going and getting Modric like he's some kind of hero...

Now Levy's shit storm is upon us, it wasn't Levy, it was ENIC...

The absolute deranged cope for some sections of Spurs fans is borderline insanity.

The attempt to rewrite history is alarming, the Donald Trump's of the Spurs Community
