No he'd have had a load of other questions new country will he settle will he adapt styles. Its so much more nuanced than the fifa players make out. Rember William Saliba. Equally highly rated as Fofana.

He’ll score twice in his first three matches and thus place will melt like fuck about how we “should have been all over that”, “fucking Levy being cheap”, “Joe and his yachts”.
Then he won’t score again for about a year and we’ll realise we dodged a Berahino / Bony / Damiao shaped bullet.
Sure but there are many reasons to think that Sali a was poorly handled.
Plenty of guys have switched her countries and been fine and considering Fofana would be viewed as a development guy that would be fine.
Rodon has questions himself about coming from a new league.
Saliba is a sad case though and a mix of bad management and bad luck. He has all the talent in the world and I do think if he chose Spurs instead, we'd be speaking about him as highly as people speak of Fofana.
He got loaned back to St Etienne because they wanted him to play games. That's the first bit of bad management. He was good enough to come in and start in that shambles of an Woolwich defence. Then he gets injured which limits his playing time at St Etienne. Then COVID hits which halts the league and game time and then sadly his mother dies.
Here comes the second part of bad management. They were supposed to loan him back to France in the summer, presumably because of his mothers passing and sending him back to France may have helped him a bit more. But they FUCKED that up by leaving it too late.
So they're left with a player who hasn't settled properly due to different circumstances. Who is then LEFT OUT of their Europa League squad, the one competition that seemed to be a shoe-in for him to get minutes in.
Which left him with no loan, no Europa League registration, meaning less and less game time. Hindering his development. And now I think he's been sent out on loan to a shambolic Nice team who have about 1 win in 3 months in the league.

Ehem. Allan Nielsen is Danish. Roger Nilsen came on loan from Sheffield United, three games for us.
Apologies can be posted 24/7.
Welcome Lingard
The Tea Lady is now saying that we are are close to signing someone but we will lose a player as well!
Think it's pretty clear by now we aren't going to do any business.
Also can't see Levy letting Dele go.
Quiet window for us and most teams.

Cancel Bale’s loan and sign Buendia?
would only further fuck over our homegrown issues.
Hopefully Aarons in the summer. Aurier will only have 12 months of his contract left, not sure i see him signing a new one and we need some home grown players.
Just a reminder that the window closes 11pm Monday Feb 1st. So 12 days to go.
Reminder of who needs to leave before we can buy:
We need to lose a non-HG (eg Sanchez) if Rodon is to be registered for EL.
We need to lose another to add a new non-HG to the EL squad.
We do have 2 HG spaces available for the EL and that increases to 3 if Dele leaves.
We can sign up to 3 new non-HG or HG players eligible to play EPL only if Sanchez, Gazza and Dele leave.

Milan Skriniar, Kim Min-jae and chances of Spurs signing a defender this month
With just under two weeks left of the January transfer window Tottenham Hotspur fans are calling for a new defender but will they get one?
www.football.london
Inter Milan defender Milan Skriniar.
Tottenham held talks with the Serie A club over the Slovakian international in the summer transfer window, but could not bridge a gap of more than £10million between the two side's valuations of the player.
He has been starting every single Serie A match since returning from isolation in October and his value will have only gone up, with two-and-a-half years remaining on his contract. The player also shut down talk of a move during this window.
Kim Min-jae,
football.london understands that while the 24-year-old Beijing Guoan defender is a player Spurs have looked at in the past year, they are not expected to move for him in the coming fortnight.
Eder Militao is not believed to be someone Tottenham would move for at this moment.
Incoming new players for the first team are believed to be unlikely this month, unless there is an unexpected big money bid for someone in the squad, particularly a foreign player, and then the expectation would be that a like-for-like signing would be made if possible.
Unless there is an unexpected departure, Mourinho will have to continue to work with what he's got and develop Rodon in the months ahead.
We don’t need an upgrade on PEH you utter buffoon. The bloke has earned his spot.
Sissoko...yes, ok.
Bring back Tiny Dancers.
Nothing much happening here !
Worst part is the club can’t sell.
We're bad enough at selling in the best of times, let alone when everyones skint
No, Jose Mourinho has not sanctioned $21m attacker signing for Spurs as transfer rumours appear to be hilariously fake
Tottenham Hotspur supporters need to see this before they get excited about the transfer links...
