Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Think this is our current squad. Looks like we could potentially add 3 players and not be in the shitter, but since we are no longer in Europe; it doesn't make sense to have such a huge squad.

Association trained: Davies, Doherty, Rodon, Austin, Dele
Club trained: Kane, Winks, Tanganga, Whiteman

Foreign: Royal, Bergwijn, Dier, Højbjerg, Lloris, Lo Celso, Moura, Ndombele, Reguilón, Sánchez, Son Heung-min, Romero, Golini

U21: excluded from squad count (Gil, Skipp, Clarke, Sessegnon)

Total : 22 (up to 25)
HOMEGROWN : 9 (min 8)
FOREIGN : 13 (max 17)
 
Vlahovic to scum for 75 million, and 410,000 per week?
This is what it takes to sign top players now

Airfixx Airfixx however posted yesterday that’s not a good deal apparently so I guess it ain’t happening for Levy

It’s ok - Winksy had a good game vs Morecambe - should be like a new signing

So along came Dan a renowned property dealer and developer who had made a fortune when the tide was high. Dan after several years or easy money making decided to buy a run down factory which made electrical equipment that he liked when he was a kid.

Now Dan didn't know anything about manufacturing but he knew all about property and he knew he could get finance to build the most beautiful factory in the world which would surely make the best electrical equipment.

So Dan went out and got that finance. He doubled the shop floor, he made the most beautiful canteen, even put in an amazing gym and gold plated urinal.

Everything was in place. Then Dan realised he'd forgot to buy new machinery, but surely that won't matter thought Dan, I've doubled the floor space.

The old machinery slowly went bad and the plasters he used to hold things together soon fell off. Now Dan's electrical equipment was shit and he could sell diddly. He needed to keep the buyers happy so brought in new factory managers, but they were just more sticky tape really.

Dan's big factory investment meant he had no money left on the company books, it has all been spent on the factory and while he had the world's greatest factory, it no longer produced anything but cheap crap.

Dan ran the factory into the ground and eventually sold the factory, personally pocketing a small fortune, but the company could no longer compete with the competition. Still Dan had managed to make a small fortune having spent very little of his own money - not bad eh!

Thanks Dan, thanks for all your hard work.
I did not enjoy your essay I am afraid. I have never been into factual / history books always preferring fiction.. I think it is a need for escapism. Now if your Dan had turned out not to be an unscrupulous property developer, but instead was more like Prince Charming who saved the day and married the beautiful princess I could have enjoyed it. Especially the bit where they live happily ever after in a trophy laden castle in North London. Unfortunately your Dan is real and mine is wishful thinking

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to spend $55million (£40million) to bring Dejan Kulusevski to Spurs this year.

According to CBS Sports, Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is keen on a swoop for the Juventus talent.

However, this could have consequences with regards to Spurs’ apparent interest in Dusan Vlahovic.

The outlet claims Juve want the Fiorentina star too, but must offload players before submitting a January offer.

And if Tottenham swoop for Kulusevski, this could lead Juve to have the means to trigger a bid for Vlahovic.

Spurs haven’t ruled out signing the Serbia international themselves, added CBS Sports.

That said, Tottenham will surely not shirk from making a bid for Kulusevski just to prevent Juve for moving for Vlahovic.

Could Spurs land “great talent” in January transfer window?
Kulusevski is a superb talent who’d bring a lot to Conte’s side.

He’s a versatile player who can feature in central midfield, at No. 10 and on the wing.

The 21-year-old’s key traits include technique, physicality and unselfishness on the pitch.

Kulusevski even has the Cristiano Ronaldo seal of approval, the Portugal legend calling him “excellent” in 2020.

“He is a great talent,” Ronaldo told the Juve website. “He will help us to win and achieve incredible things.”

As well as Tottenham, north London rivals Woolwich are reportedly also eyeing Kulusevski.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, the Gunners have been tracking the Sweden international for over three years.

Kulusevski has struggled for game time this season, with just four Serie A starts under his belt.

Indeed, 19 of his appearances for Juve in 2021-22 have come off the bench.
 
If anyone thought we'd spend £150m in January they need to be sectioned.



No doubt the simpletons will look at the £75m part of that and think we could compete.
Over 5 years, £410k (wherever that came from) is another £106.6m so £181.6m plus bonuses plus agent fees.
The weekly figure is what jumped out at me when I first saw that tweet. That’s what double of Kane? Absolute lunacy.

I fully agree the club needs to invest but we can do so while still have a modicum of common sense.

I think Kane is up to £300k ish but built on performance bonuses. He also didn't cost a penny to sign. This is what bugs me when people like a net spend list of PL clubs. 1 they don't show all the ins and outs so it really is vague but 2 is that it doesn't show what those players earn.

If we signed a £75m player on £75k a week that package is around £99m all in. Vs the other deal at nearer £199m

But on paper - we are competitive because we paid a similar fee for a player.
 
wonder if we move GLC & Ndombele on for next to nothing that will have an impact on FFP as we paid near £100M 2 years ago get back maybe £30-40M is that an FFP loss of £60M ?
does that then show against what we can spend now ?
 
I'm not sure why we are dragging bringing a few players in when it looks like we have small chance of 4th he's already said most of the players who were out against Chelsea won't play against Woolwich. Stating the obvious we miss son bad but the cover at defence is shocking and to have no back up striker what seems forever is absolute madness years upon years its been the same. Basically go out now get the players now now now

Ndombele sign for £55.5m over 6 years so according to FFP is worth £9.25m a year

He has been here 2.5 years so is currently worth £32.375m

Anything less than that is a loss according to ffp and I doubt we would get anywhere near that amount

It's the same math for anybody bought, is we sign a player for £10m for 4 year contract he is worth £2.5m a year on the books, but if we receive £20m for a player now we can count all of that on the balance book
