Then let’s bring him back into the fold … put him on the coaching staff. Always a great guy to have about the placeRemember, after Rose moved to Watford he must have become very good at googling players, so he may have become an expert on players like Amrabat
Danny's probably heard the name before as he marked his older brother before when we played Watford.Remember, after Rose moved to Watford he must have become very good at googling players, so he may have become an expert on players like Amrabat
I am not saying I have total confidence in him, far from it. I also question the players Spurs bought last summer.
But in all fairness, Nuno has to take "credit" for those purchases as well, Emerson was bought as a RB not as RWB.
Romero has been out injured ever since he joined Spurs (except when he played for Argentina).
And Gil is still young and fresh in the EPL.
Sarr has yet to play for Spurs.
fao

I know this list is outdated etc., but to say there is nobody "available" from this list is just bullshit as is it that none of them would fit into our first 25 man squad
Contracts expiring
How to finance them? Well, tell all of Ndombele, Doherty, GLC that they will-not-play-again-for-Spurs. It's a World Cup year. They'd agree moves in a flash, if they knew they'd spend 5 months doing shuttleruns behind the janitors shed.
Not that we need finance, obvs. With the new stadium, which in no way affects our finances, we have more cash to spend than ever. Right?

And Sammyspurs was bang on here when referencing Pochettino at times.
For all his good, his eye for a player was frankly quite shocking during his time with us.
And sadly it's not really improved since.
I think there's a difference between "no players available" and "no TOP players available in Jan.
Most are in the midst of Champions league campaigns, title fights etc.
Maybe keep him close by at QPR?
Ndombele, LoCelso, Sessegnon, Clarke......fucking fantastic summer window:contefacepalm:
Poch owes us a favour big time by taking Ndombele back to Ligue 1 where he belongs.
Poch got sacked for the failure of those two signings to make an immediate impact.
He’s the ONLY person who’s faced any consequences for that failure.
Tottenham enquire about Dusan Vlahovic
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about signing Woolwich and Juventus target Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window.
Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur have enquired about signing Woolwich and Juventus target Dusan Vlahovic in the January transfer window, according to The Daily Star.
The Daily Star are reporting this afternoon that Tottenham have made a late enquiry about signing Vlahovic from Fiorentina in the January transfer window.
However, Juventus believe that the striker wants to join them.
The report has added that Tottenham’s bitter North London rivals Woolwich are keen on signing the 21-year-old striker in the January transfer window.
Nuno would have had little to no power over transfers, he was there because we couldn't get anyone else at the time. Emerson is just a shit modern fullback, whether at RWB or RB he would never be good enough going forward. Look at the players the other top clubs have in those roles. Jury out on Romero yes, but Gil is about to be loaned about for being so ineffective, and Sarr seems to be struggling to get in a lower down the table Ligue 1 side.
We brought him in to elevate our transfer business, and he hasn't done that.
Haha, in the first draft I put it as "Stop being a total fucking Levy you cunt!" but the client wasn't convinced
If you look at our 25 man squad, we'd be improved by players who are WELL from the f*cking top.
No offence.
There's no doubt. Everyone knows January is generally a terrible time to do business, even the most adamant Levy out people know that deep down.
The only legitimate reason to want to see us really invest right now is because the top 4 is for the taking if we just had the right mix of quality. Other than that it's basically fear of Conte suddenly walking (he won't) or just deeper anti-Levy sentiment.
And we won't get them anyway. In many respects January is the excuse the summer isn't.
Sure,
but then we're buying above average players who are available now as opposed to "good" players who are available in the summer, and we're stuck with those "above average" players on high wages on our books because we had to pay them a lot to come to us in Jan in the first place.
we'll want to upgrade again in the summer and we're stuck with more players we want out.
it's a vicious cycle.
See Liverpool with VVD, don't by the back up wait for (or overpay) for the one you want - assuming they want to come!
But how do you strangle it in the cradle? They have to write rules that are tacitly applied fair and equal. The Saudis aren't just going to write a cheque out to cash and spend it on footballers.
They'll follow the Citeh model. St. James Park will get the biggest naming rights deal in history to convert to Saudi British Bank St. James Park. The shirt sponsor will be Flynas, also the most lucrative (*just low enough to be justifiable, sort of) kit deal in history. They'll use Aramco back channels to leverage massive sponsorships from energy companies. They'll show approximately £500M in annual commercial income on the books and take it all as a loss back home where no one cares.
So, how do you strangle it? Doing so would require rules that tear down City and PSG's house of cards as well. And require scrutiny of the dodgy AF accounts at Madrid and Barcelona. Chelsea might skirt the line, just because they've developed decently high value non-doped revenue streams now that they doped their way up first.
And if you go after all those clubs, they'll just start the ESL and tell UEFA and FIFA both to do one. They're going to eventually, anyway, but the execs at UEFA and FIFA are just hoping to see out their careers before the bribes stop flowing.

Spurs have enquired about Vlahovic.
Here's how that conversation went...
Levy to Vlahovic's agent / Fiorentina Chairman: "How's Dusan?"
Reply: "He's well thanks"
End of conversation.
Everyone creamed their pants that summer about those signings (Clarke aside)
