Transfers January 2021 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We can’t fix everything in Jan but we can fix either the defence or midfield. I think the latter is the easier of the two to do as Sabitzer would sort out the box to box issue, we would then only need cover for Hojbjerg which can wait until the summer if need be. Whereas in defence we’ve issues at centre back and right back... plus we would also need to move players on which will be difficult.
I think midfield is a priority right now.
 
To be honest, I think that our main focus this window should be looking to get rid of players and try and trim down our bloated squad rather than spending money for a manager who realistically isn’t going to be here much longer...

If I was Levy or whoever is in charge of such matters, I would be actively encouraging interest in all of Aurier, Dier, Sanchez, Davies, Sissoko, Winks, Lamela, Lucas and Dele. I would honestly get rid of all of them in the morning, no hesitation. They’re a group of players that have been here far too long, achieved far too little, are not going to improve any more and just constantly let us down time and time again. Obviously getting rid of all of them isn’t practical but even culling the majority of them would be a good start for the new manager that is pretty likely to come in at the beginning of new season.
I was all for spending big bucks on a centre half like Skriniar but the more I think about it the more I’d be very reluctant to give Mourinho any more money.
 
Sanchez out for Skriniar

Winks out for De Roon

Dele out for Sabitzer

I think that sets us up nicely.. the only issue is would our CBs have sufficient enough pace to allow the manager to mix things up? I think we’ll see some moves in and out for sure

That's impossible. We can only sell Dele and Winks if we bring in homegrown players. We could sell non-HG players though, Sissoko, Lucas, Sanchez, Dier, etc.
 
I am not too sure about getting players in during the January window.

I’m beginning to think Mourinho won’t be here for very long.
i am off to the bookies tomorrow, to put some money on jose to be gone by the end of the transfer window.

Based on jose's post match, players not following his orders, it means he has lost the dressing room already, it's what players do when they want to get rid.
