Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Guys that I think would fit Conte's system very nice (most of them young and are are attainable in the transfer market):

Kostic (LWB/LW) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
Gosens (LWB)
Theo Hernandez (LCB/LWB) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
De Ligt (CB)
Wirtz (ACM/RW) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
Maehle (RWB/LWB)
Lamptey (RWB)
Schick (CF)
Vlahovic (CF)
Guimaraes (DM/CM)
Paqueta (ACM)
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic (CM) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
De Vrij (LCB)
Oyarzabal (RW)
Pau Torres (CB)
Zielinski (CM)
Skriniar (CB)
Tielemans (CM)
Kessie (CM)
Kounde (RCB) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
Lingard (RW)
Raphinha (RW)
Nunez (CF)
Neuhaus (CM)
Soler (ACM)
Bellingham (ACM)
Pellegrini (CM)
Gouiri (LW)
Belotti (CF)
Goncalves (ACM) One of the favourites – perfect for Conte IMO
Baumgartner (ACM)
Atal (RWB)
Baku (RWB)
Cash (RWB)
Mazraoui (RWB)
Szoboszlai (ACM)
Gallagher (ACM)
Lacroix (CB)
Sosa (LWB)
Ndicka (LCB)
Nkunku (CF/LW)
Dybala (CF/LW)

EDIT: Looks like I made a huge list. Give me Paratici's number.

Also worth pointing out that there is a little choice for a right wing-back which we so desperately need, maybe even 2. So Adama transfer wouldn't be the dumbest thing to do.

Looks like ACM and wing-back positions are dominating, but probably no surprise. IMO any of signings with players above would be very, very exciting.

P.S I didn't include names like Dybala, Bowen, Ward-Prowse and Dembele. I think that these kind of players are not worth it and wouldn't work.

Can anybody who actually watches Serie A on a regular basis confirm how good this guy really is?
He’s the new flavour of the month for sure, but from what I have seen of him, I genuinely think he has absolutely massive potential to be a massive flop in the Premier League.
He’s not very quick and technically doesn’t appear the best. A very accomplished finisher sure, but he kind of came from nowhere and I think it would be an absolutely massive gamble to spend the kind of money being mentioned for him.
It’s also slightly concerning IMV how much Fiorentina appear to be whoring him around in the press.

I’m open to correction on the above by anyone who watches him week in, week out…

He is rather quick. Very strong runner for a guy of his size and strength. All-round game has improved a lot this year, seems to have a strong, competitive mentality. But mostly he's a guy who makes forceful and smart movements in the box and regularly kicks the ball into the opposition goal. After Haaland, Mbappe and somebody else I might be forgetting he could be one of the top goalscorers over the next decade wherever he ends up.


 
We got simply too many players, I don't think we need any signings. It's how conte uses them.

Money wasted on sessegnon where cirkin would do a better job.

Money wasted on Emerson and Doherty, can easily convert a midfield there. Like bergwijn.

Dele can play as a striker together with kane

The thing to remember is anyone we buy is going to be a downgrade on kane at his best, what I've heard from people who watch Italian league this guy is good, scores, holds up... But he will be a lot worse than we are used to, that's in the past though

I still think we should go back for Lautaro Martinez before Vlahovic.
Even aside from reservations about Vlahovic’s quality, I struggle to envisage a scenario where Kane and Vlahovic could play in the same team. Far too similar in their play style.

Martinez could play on his own up front, in a two with Kane or as part of a three with Kane and Son. Would be a far superior signing IMO.
