Who are the serious clubs. Les analyse their January window purchases. Let's start with Man United.

Everyone knows if you negotiate too early in the windows the price get leveraged and overvalued. It's awhy DL is the best negotiator.

Mathys Tel only kept out of the Bayern team by the best striker in the world and pursued by a host of clubs including United, Chelsea, Woolwich and a host of others.

Briliant work after some were celebrating when they thought it had initially fallen through so they could justify their weak arguments. But DL went back and got what he wanted.

Hmmm. Actually this is horse shit. Getting transfers done early in the window is the better strategy. Get the player in and settled. Wait and watch a price war at the end of the window. That can work both ways but you argument is flawed.

Kept out of the Bayern team by the best striker in the world? Okay but also by Olise, Sane,an aging Muller and even Musiala.

I think the bare minimum is fair comment given our situation at the start of January and, on the face of it was left too late.

The caveat is that very often we don’t know the whole story behind the deals but brilliant work? No, not by some distance

No im not trolling at all and I dont need any cover, which makes me question are you sane, seriously? I recognise the benefits our chairman has brought to our club, the financial wealth and stability and the improved competitiveness especially in the last 10 season. It's a shame others dont. Yes we are 16th in the table now because of injuries in crucial positions but we are still in all the cup competitions and these players will be coming back. DL is not solely responsible for the defeats the same way he is not responsible for us thrashing both the Manchester clubs earlier in the season. Cant believe the negativity

I want to check before I answer. As you didn’t use a capital S I am assuming you are not asking if I am the current Bayern Munich and former Man City winger .

I think you've got this wrong, if you bid at the start of the month you're encouraging other clubs to get in and up the price of the player because they are in control where as at the end the buying club can dictate the transfer more.

It's said that Chelsea tried to hijack our Tel bid, what do you think would have happened if we went for him in the first week of Jan, they would have most probably outbid us and/or paid him more than us.

Why do you think the vast majority of deals are done in the last week of the Window, not just by us, by everyone?

It's the usual Levy lipstick on a pig of a window.

He's punting the 8-9 million loan fee for Tel against the collapse of megadome ticket sales for the remaining and now pointless league games.

I don't even like this kid after the way he's played it so far.

Why did it need to be made public that he would rather sign for several other Premier League teams ahead of Spurs?

Levy's basically hired a supposedly high class hooker to take Spurs to the prom.

The fact that Tel will probably turn out to be a tramp, who would rather shag several of Levy's work colleagues in the car park where the prom is held, will be the story for further down the grubby road the miser is dragging THFC.

If you look at the date joined, it’s 2021. But so few posts in that time.

Waiting.

Watching.

There is some astonishing planning afoot; positively Machiavellian.

I fear we could be facing the most devious Levy manifestation yet!

Something evil is definitely afoot

I think somewhere dark and deep below ground level in a secret bunker , an army of machine like creatures are being genetically engineered using fixxy's DNA

Jurassic park style

Well it’s a point to debate isn’t it. As I said we don’t know the full story behind each transfer deal but in my opinion either scenario could play out. It is to simplistic to say I have it wrong. There is no evidence to suggest your theory is correct either.

I think the deals done at the end of the window are down to one upmanship in the main. How many times have we all said why aren’t we moving quicker. Especially when other clubs are doing business.

The comments around chavs don’t hold water either. But in all of this, is there any irrefutable evidence that they were in for him at the end? A lot of the rumours are X/Twitter wannabe ITK that know no more than anyone else.

It seems with Tel, the clearest explanation, perhaps most plausible is that he wanted game time guaranteed which wasn’t offered, at least by man utd and Woolwich and that the buying clubs wanted options at the end of the loan. I’d say that was the main reasons for delay but perhaps ( and only if that was the case) we could have offered that earlier rather than a straight loan

Well that's fair but you said that misterbeck misterbeck 's theory was 'horse shit' when you just admitted that you have 0 evidence to suggest your theory is correct either so...

But again you said that other clubs are doing business but when though? The vast majority of business in Jan gets done in the final week which speaks more about the market and how clubs see this particular TW which is opportunistic as opposed it being an exclusive Tottenham thing.

It actually came from Loïc Tanzi who's a French Journo from L'equipe who are pretty realiable...it's up to you how much stock you put in journo's but it wouldn't surprise me - regardless of that my point still stands, if you go for a player to early you sound out interest from other clubs, it happens all the time. It literally happened to us with the Dragusin transfer last Jan and Bayern pounced on him, luckily we got that one over the line as we had already convinced him.

What actually happened is that Tel wanted to go to Man Utd so rejected us, Utd baulked at the £5m loan fee and we convinced him to change his mind, that's all there is too it.
