Transfers January 2018 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So Poch said we have options. Could he still be speaking about Andre Gomes of Barcelona too? I mean we were heavily linked to him earlier in the window, I hope we do make a move for him still. He was quality at Valencia and we can’t be relying on Winks and Dembele at the minute with all their injurie troubles.
 
In regards to options after Eriksen, our best at the moment is Lamela to play that role. It's not the best, but it's all we've got currently.
It must be addressed in the summer. I know people will say why not now? But this late in the Jan window finding someone of the requisite quality to be up to Eriksen's level is impossible. No one is going to let a player of that quality go in the middle of a season.

Madrid are sinking. Maybe Isco could be a goer again when we get back in CL. A pipedream maybe.

I think Poch recognizes the need, but realizes he can only advance his squad so much in this window. Although I don't think Sissoko is stellar by any means, I can still get behind Poch backing his players when everybody and their mother seems to be bashing them. That being said though, I agree with you that Lamela would be a better fit for Eriksen

Best we can hope for is someone from outside of the top 4 European Leagues who is young, willing to learn but very creative. Unless there is someone on the fringes that I'm completely missing out (Like Coutinho at Inter etc).

Who's the next big creative force from the Dutch league? Must be a few creative players in Ligue 1.

Haha, post of the year.

Madrid needs a rebuild, it's the ageing players they've got to replace, not players like Isco. That ship has well and truly sailed.
 
So...if the reports are correct, we are balls deep for Moura & almost at the finish line, but Levy is haggling over the price & Wenger is hovering like a paedo in a playground in case the wheel falls off on the deal?
Sounds about right.
 
Some people need to listen to the words that come out of Poch's mouth. He said ''let's see what happens in the next few days''. So can we not melt if Moura is not announced today or tomorrow. Poch has literally said to wait.

Not melting here mate, not at all. However, if “in the next few days”, Wenger swoops because we are haggling over a payment plan or a transfer fee, having apparently agreed terms with the player, wouldn’t you be a little miffed to lose out on Moura to Woolwich? The sooner the deal is put to bed the better if Moura is, & by most reports he is, the player we want to (& can) bring in
