January 2022 - Transfer Window

[Notabadsquad]

Same can be said for any player who opts to run their deal down.... Despite that it's becoming more common.

Agree.

 

[Macch]

The clearout we needed.

Wow it's really happening.

Hope Dele can find his form

 

[KentuckyHotSpur]

Very much happy/sad over Dele to Everton.
Hate losing the player he was. He gave us some really good years/memories.
But he has been poor for a couple of years now. If we get a decent haul for him and then reinvest it, I'm all for it.

 

[Ed Vanderlay]

Blimey wasn’t that funny

3 big wages off the bill need to be getting a RWB at least with it and a CM who can create

 

[kingdawson]

We need a midfielder now.

100%

we can't go into the second half of the season with 4 cm's when Conte plays 3 cm's a lot, no way.

 

[JimothyCF14]

Of all our outgoings, I wish Dele the best. He was great for a while but he's lost his way.

 

[Airfixx]

Sky Sports have him to City for 14.7M!!..that's less than we've paid for Doherty and Emerson. And not much more than we paid for Jack Clarke.

Maybe some agents have got a massive chunk of cash but that fee looks ridiculously low.

S/American clubs don't tend to have much leverage when selling their players though.....

.......Maybe the leap in levels is accepted to be too vast to command £30/40m and upwards style fees?

F'knows tbh.

 

[Giglamesch]

Good move for Spurs and Dele in isolation.

But me thinks our squad is a little light....

 

[Darnswim 🇦🇱]

100%

we can't go into the second half of the season with 4 cm's when Conte plays 3 cm's a lot, no way.

He'll be playing 3-4-3. Kulusevski is a trademark 3-4-3 player.

 

[AlabamaSpur]

On another note Everton are really awful at transfers.

 

[BringBack_leGin]

The clearout we needed.

Genuinely hope he gets back that X factor that made him special. For all the frustrations, he’s responsible for many great memories and was an integral part of the best, most entertaining side a lot of us have seen at Spurs.

 

[Airfixx]

Not sure about that, when was the last time we held onto a player because he overpriced them?

Kane.

 

[ILSpur]

if Dele is going to Everton, I'd actually rather it was a loan with an option.
Reason? He is a Lampard style player, who plays on the peripheral but scores a lot of goals out of nothing.
Who better to raise his game than the man himself?

If I was Levy and selling was the only option, I would put a lot of bonus add ons in case Lampard gets a tune out of him.

I can't see it, but if that did occur what happens next? He comes back and turns into same old Dele again when he can't play in that role?

I have hoped for a long time that he will regain his form and we will see even part of the old Dele, but I think it's just long gone now. Even though it made him do some pretty childish and stupid things at times, he had a particular fire in him that helped him be great. Poch helped him to start to mature a bit and try to take the negative aspects of that out of his game, but it's almost he lost all the drive and intensity along with it.

 

[Sir Archibald Crooks]

Very late in the day but could we do something with Rodon and the Alli cash for Lamptey?

 

[TottsAmazeballs]

lets all take a minute to mourn the local kfc's and especially chickkking for losing nodmbele

Saw this outside the local KFC.

Meanwhile....

I’m genuinely concerned Woolwich will massively improve with that loser out of the building.

He's been out of the picture for ages yet in January they had more red cards than goals.

I agree (bar Gil of course) that these are finished players who we’re better off without, and that their sulking being ancillary players is more negative than any benefit they’d provide.

But do note that we’ve got 4 more league games to play than normal at this stage. A lot of midweek action still to come. SOMEONE is gonna have to play.

Like, if all these outgoings are true, at the very least Harvey White’s gotta stay. But we should be doing more than that.

Gil as an inverted right winger and one of Lucas/Bergwijn as a RWB would have made more sense, I dunno.

Gil isn't going to come back IMO.
Looks tricky but actually added nothing in any of his games. Hopefully he performs this next half season and we can recover money.

 

[Incomplete_usernam]

Had Conte saying just a week ago that we don't have enough depth and now we are removing players without replacing them at the last minute...

Don't get me wrong, Dele needs to be sold but who is replacing him?
