Transfers January 2022 - Transfer Window

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Juve have gotten Zakaria for peanuts (£4m). He's a beast. We get two underwhelming benchwarmers for £20m apiece. WTAF. I can't understand why we weren't interested at that price.

Honestly, I've no fucking idea what is going on here. Does Conte have any say in this? Did he really choose Dekulus* and RodBent*? It's really starting to feel like Itchyprat has no connections at all and is just being shat on by his old schoolmates.

* Anyone can make up shit nicknames, but at least mine are knob-gags!
Window not closed, players not kicked a ball - and the trolls are already labelling them "two underwhelming benchwarmers" .... with trolls like this who even needs opposing fans?

IMO - Yours are puerile drivel you would expect from a ten year old (apologise if you are a child)
 
Was Paraticci a good appointment?
was Paraticci any good at Juve?
Levy speaks about the DNA, and hires a DOF who is anti DNA.
How do we get out of this?
I know Ndombele was never accepted by the fan base(the majority at least).
If the coach invested a bit of belief in that guy, it would cost us way less and profit us more.
We play PEH, SoN and Kane regardless of how horrible they’ve been all season. But we castigate Ndombele even before he touches a ball.
Now we are likely going to bring in players who are cast offs from Juve.
Makes no sense to me.
I wouldn’t want us to write Ndombele off.
We need a rebuild, sadly I don’t even think it’s with Paraticci.
Ndombele has completed 90 minutes in 9 PL matches - in 2 and a half years under 5 managers.

Guess why he's being moved on ?
 
I’ve been moaning about a lack of craft, and we desperately do lack in that dept., so maybe that’s the thinking behind Kulusevski, if so then I guess that’s an understandable gamble, especially as a loan/option.
I think he's a class act personally but he's young and lost some confidence at Juve. If Conte can get him at his best we've got ourselves a very talented and intelligent footballer.
 
Before we go complaining about how bad our transfers are… Take a moment to look at chelscum

Would you say Pulisic at 51m was good? Werner at 47m? Havertz at 72m? Chilwell?

Come on, we’re doing pretty well keeping up without spending on gash players like them!

Some people don’t want to hear it for some reasons. Chelsea and City are in a completely different league to us. They can afford to pay high prices and have 1/2 work out.

We just can’t play that game.

(For nuance, Chelsea also have a great academy. And we should still be doing better at recruitment- seems like we are investing more in scouting which is good).

Do some research you fucking cretin.

These players are slated by their own fans. They are laughing at us and have upgraded their positions for considerably less than we are paying for them.

Back to sleep now, there's a good levy bitch.
 
Possibly because there wasn't a good enough RWB available in the window? pretty obvious that we had the cash but who was there that was available?

We still need more quality, that said two decent January signings and a few non-playing squad players moved out ... that's a better window than almost every other EPL, try and be positive.

Maybe...but if there were no other RWB's on the market why were we totally blase about this transfer taking 90% of our time to get it completed? If like you say we had the case, why didn't we just fucking spend it, it doesn't make sense?

BTW don't mistake my posts for me moaning, I don't moan...I try to make sense of things and rationalise them.
 
Still don't understand if Conte prioritised a RWB this window why have we signed 2 players that don't play as a RWB, this club make no sense sometimes lol

Ah well just gotta hope that Conte is happy with the business this TW, suspect the make or break window will be the Summer one though...
Almost certainly because they fee they can get a high quality long term fix in the summer. No point buying less quality now to plug a gap for 6 months when they at least have cover for that position.

I’d settle for Emerson and Doherty for 4 months if we can get a Lamptey or similar in the summer.

Maybe if this was two years ago and he'd only struggled under Poch but Ndombele hasn't shone now under 4 managers. There's been the odd fleeting moment but it doesn't justify the time or cash spent anymore.
 



The only way on earth we paid £21m AND Lamela is if we Valued Lamela at next to nothing.

Or Paratici stole a ton for himself.

Why would we blow a Lamela and £21m on a nobody kid when we won't spend that kind of money on established players?
As I said at the outset it depends which reports we believe. I could well believe we wanted Lamela off the wage bill and we valued Gil loads based off lo celso, sessignon, Ndombele etc. Equally could easily believe we got some cash value for Lamela to bring the price down.
 
come on villareal bidddddddd.
I think Villareal or Sevilla, maybe even Valencia, will make a late move for him. The first two might even wanna buy him outright, you never know.

If they offered 15 mil + bonuses, I'd definitely consider it if I was in Fabio's shoes.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a Bundesliga team like Leverkusen or Hertha try their luck late too.

Haha you believe the fans who are slating a player leaving them? .... oh dear what a fail.

Try having an independent thought not just believing every piece of internet bullshit that comes your way, these are now Spurs players at least let them kick a ball before cunting them off.

Back to following social media you go there's a good little lemming ......
