Personally not happy with the treatment of Janssen. Unless the boy is an absolute tit, it’s hard to understand why he has been so publicly and visibly ostracised.

Not going on loan doesn’t seem like sufficient justification.

He is absolutely shit. As is llorente.
 
Younger, and perhaps playing second fiddle to a striker at a big club. Not saying there are loads of them, just probably easier to get than a good CM.

A while ago I would have said Dolberg would be daft to come to us, when he could play elsewhere and he needs to play, but he's sitting Ajax's bench now, so probably wouldn't mind sitting on ours for a few quid more and some PL exposure.

KWP needs to leave to save his career.

How the fuck does Trippier keep playing and KWP can't make the bench?

Poch "yoof supporter" has to be the biggest myth around.

For all his apparent stubbornness in who he wants to bring in, with a decimated squad, he still refuses to give KWP a chance for the fuck-up that is Trippier who has got too big for his boots after a decent world cup. What a joke.
 
Poch has had £324M lavished on 21 signings in 4 years
Several of those, that we need now, he has chosen to isolate for years on end and one of them was the reason we won today.

Who knows how successful GKN, Llorente and Janssen would have been, if the manager hadnt just thrown them in the bin.
None of the players you quoted have been good enough for the club now there could be a number of reasons but whatever it is they haven't been good enough.

He was injured at the start of the season and they brought him back slowly. He has started 9 of the last 10 games he has been available though.

And the reason is:
Nkoudou: 17 appearances since 2016 (0 starts)
Janssen: 25 appearances since 2016 (7 PL starts)
Llorente: 28 appearances since 2017 (2 PL starts)

When you consider in that time Kane has missed this much game time Harry Kane - Injury history yet we have given our back up strikers 9 starts between them, how and when should they "get good enough".

When Sissoko and Lamela were given two years each.
 
That's pretty embarrassing, even by The Sun's standards.

Hopefully nonsense.

Last thing we need is another injury prone player, even on loan, and his better days are behind him anyway.

I still maintain Sessegnon (done nothing this season really) would make sense, a striker and one more if possible. No way surely Sessegnon will extend his Fulham contract and he needs to be at a club where he can develop.

We simply cannot wait until summer because even more than now we will be priced out of a market we seem increasingly reluctant to buy in.

It would be criminal though not to maximise the position we find ourselves in and it doesn't need too much.
 
Always had respect for Souness. Says it how it is. Pulls no punches.

Spurs are “risking everything” with lack of transfer business, insists Graeme Souness

I think Mauricio has towed the party line beyond the call of duty

Like him or not. I think he has a far more valid, impartial take on the situation than the rose tinted, Levy brown nosers clogging up these pages.

I've never been in a dressing room where you didn't want new players. The PLAYERS want new players.

10 days for Levy to hold on to Poch or risk another 2 decades of transition

Tick....Tock....Tick.....Tock....
 
Fulham 1-2 Tottenham: 'Why injury-hit Spurs do not need to panic buy'

Isn’t it amazing that in the summer, (and even just a fortnight ago), the mantra of the media and many fans was that Spurs were arrogant, and incompetent for not signing anyone. That was with a virtually 100% squad.

But since losing Kane, Son, Dembele and Sissoko (on top of a very long injury list) the new vibe is:
Spurs don’t need signings

Why is everyone saying it’s short term signings?
Why cant we sign the players we “desperately needed” before Dembele was sold and Kane got injured?

So we don’t sign anyone. Wait for everyone to get fit.
Then demand summer signings.

Beggars belief

He doesn't give KWP a chance? What about Barcelona? Poch gave him a chance. KWP shat his knickers, but Poch continued to give KWP opportunity to redeem himself. KWP has since shown some ability, which is lucky because I would have sold him after the Barca abortion.

You don't sound like much if of supporter. A KWP fanboy maybe.
Trippier is a success story. Thick cunts like you without real playing experience in the game believe he's shit because he passes instead of dribbling into dead ends.
