Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

One thing I totally disagree with is the idea that we can’t get a RWB because it’s a Conte system and he could leave.

Progressive managers can make a 343 work with an attacking team. Nagelsmann at Leipzig, Potter at Brighton etc

If we get ball playing CBs and a quality outlet at RWB to match Udogie/ Perisic on the left; why wouldn’t a new progressive manager build an attacking 343 team?

There’s NO excuses to not spend big this Jan.

Also most rwb can play rb in an attacking team anyway.

There’s literally no excuse to not get a wing back in now
 
Yeah I do feel United are really the only club that would be willing to throw 80m at a 30 year old with a year left on his deal. They spent 60m on Casemiro.

City and Liverpool don't operate like that. Chelsea are crazy at the moment but I'd like to think he wouldn't fancy that move.

Then the question Kane has to ask himself is does moving to United guarantee him a trophy?
With Woolwich on the up, Chelsea/Liverpool to surely bounce back and of course City I would say no. So is it worth the risk for him?
I could definitely see United but my feeling was that I could see him at somewhere like Bayern but I don’t think he gets the payday he’d be looking for either. Madrid could be an option with a rapidly aging Benzema possibly.

Kane at United?
 
Kane to United makes way too much sense.

Less of a £££ deal, more of a 'player swap'-type deal.

Some shit like, Spurs get one or more of:

Martial (contract also ends June 2024)
Wan Bissaka (contract ends June 2024)
DeGea (contract ends June 2023)
Garnacho (contract ends June 2024)
Maguire (contract ends June 2025)

The story writes itself: "Eriksen... to Kane!"

Nagelsmann and Potter are presently both using 4-2-3-1 formations at Bayern and Chelsea, respectively.

I guarantee you that is not happening. He won’t go to another pl team. My guess is he’ll stay, but Italy is a possibility. Madrid a distant second.
 
Can we please just play good football? I have been a fan for somewhere in the region of 40 years and I cannot remember ever being so bored by my beloved Spurs. And yet we have a really good team. If you ignore the defenders and put in a 3 man midfield. I wouldn’t mind finishing in 5th or even 6th. But let’s just play a whole match. Not just the second half. And can Conte give Spence a fucking game! I am rapidly running out of patience with Wiggy.
 
I guess the point within the realm of this thread is that we don’t really need major incomings. We just need a team and a philosophy. Switch out Son for Gil or Richi. Get Benta and Biss in midfield. We have new team. Stop playing 5-2-3 and throwing the first half and our opponents might be left guessing !
