Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



Any one at Leeds we could use? Because what I understand about their finances they go need to sell. Prehaps the goal keeper loaned back, till next summer.

Don't get the fuss tbh.... He looks like a nightmare some weeks.

This was supposedly a thing in the summer though....

 
Alistair Gold is quoted as gospel on here but I really don't think he knows much at any given time

He really isn't a transfer specialist type of reporter, but his info when it comes to Tottenham news is pretty good. He's not trying to be another Fabrizio Romano type, which is fine with me. If he confirms something, it's generally a lock because he won't announce unless he is super confident, so he's quoted as gospel usually because he won't say something unless it is super low risk.
 
Just wondering.... Player registration rules means he couldn't play for us until Jan, but if it's a done deal before then, could we get him in earlier than that and get him training with the rest of the non-WC lads?

Would be a bonus if we could have him ready to hit the ground come Jan 1st.
Visa issues. On top of that, he can't have 2 employers at the same time.


So basically, no.

He can sign as an employee with us at any time though (just not register to play)...... At which point he could presumably terminate his registration/contract with Atalanta & Serie A.

Just spitballing; but where there's a will there's a way...... Afterall, if he is coming then it does no good for Atalanta still having him on the payroll with no fixtures to play from late Nov to late Dec.

Italian league is stopping for world cup, so we can't register him, but (and I'm no expert) I see no reason why a purchase contract cannot be signed whilst world cup break is on (providing player and Atalanta agree) and with that his visa situation sorted.

So yes, I think he could train at Spurs with players not going to WC during December, just cannot play.

Same in principle with other players too - that player might miss one or two matches at their former club but for most clubs not a problem especially if they also bring players in during WC break. Not a new idea, a few players are bought just before windows open every year.

I don't understand the love for Meslier. Good game last week, and a talented keeper, but he's miles away from top level for me.

Probably one people wouldn't clamour for, but I think Pascal Struijk is really good player, think he'd be a good rotation option at LCB. Obviously we need to make a top level signing there, so he's not really what we need, but he's a good player. Harrison might make a decent lwb. But they don't really have anybody I'd want in January.
