Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'd say a centre back and Son replacement are a must. Possibly a keeper now as well. Any manager be it Conte or someone else will need that. Not bothered about RWB at all. I'd also pay to get Udogie here now instead of summer.

We need to replace half the squad and buy 10/12 players. There’s zero appetite for the club to do this or else we would have started by now. I suspect levy is sitting there thinking the squad is fine and it is all the manager‘s fault they aren’t performing despite it being yet another manager who can’t get anything out of them. We need investment and players in and out so badly. We’ve signed one centre back in 6 years. What other club in the PL acts like that nevermind one that’s meant to be a serious football champions league club.
 
No one has much success in the January window unless you’re shopping for competing teams rejects — which being honest is what Bentancur and Deki (and before them Lucas) were — or paying a massive premium.

We don’t seem to have much success in the summer either. Hard to do deals in January we are always told, yet it seems every other club on the planet doesn’t struggle. It’s just a bullshit excuse from the club.
 
We are managing to make ourselves less attractive by the day to a decent player. CL slipping away , Europa far from a given , massive uncertainty over the manager , not competitive on salaries and our best player wants to leave

Well played you absolute fool , we have become less attractive in the 20 days in Jan alone whilst you have been dithering as usual

Elite businessman gifts top 4 to Newcastle, even though he has hard evidence what an oil state backed club can do once getting CL .

Yep, apart from City and Chelsea and we all know why that is. Those 2 have just been hoovering up all the best youngsters for years. Everyone else just hoping for the odd gem.

They're not exactly producing a legion of Harry Kanes though. What City can do that we can't, is give kids pitch time because they have 10 full internationals with them on the pitch to hold their hands.
We put a kid on and the poor bastard is probably the best player and being dragged down by the dogshit around him.
 
I say again…..

We have conceded more fucking goals than Everton and West Ham!

We need fucking defenders (and a new goalkeeper!!) not attackers
I'm not sure the analysis is totally correct. I could argue that the 343 is part of the problem, we lose midfield every game. That we if we had played 352 would have conceded much less goals with the players we have got now.
 
Talked about this kid (Lovro Majer) a few times. he's not perfect, not my first choice, but can play that 8/10 remit and would be a much cheaper (and non wankhorn) alternative to someone like Maddison (his XA90 is 0.28 v Maddison 0.16 for example). Says Rennes would want about 40m Euro

I wouldn't mind getting their coach also.
 
We are either under off for a takeover or broke.

Theres no other explanation for the lack of so many things..

  • No new player contracts under discussion
  • Meetings with investors and reports of Lewis wanting a full sale
  • Although not unheard of at Spurs, the sheer unwill to make a realistic offer for a player who will improve us.
  • Stadium naming rights gone quiet again
  • Board and Conte both keeping quiet about their situation.

I do think Conte will go, not only because he feels let down, but because of the amount of tragic lost he's suffered over the last few months, he probably wants to be back with his family in Italy.

The club needs to hit the reset button. We have at most 5-6 players we can build a new squad around, and that's not including Kane and Son as Kane will leave this summer and Son is burnt out.

Bentacur, Romero, Kulusevski, Richarlison, Udogie and Bissouma. All talented players who belong at this level, albeit not always showing it now. Add Spence to that, but loan him.


Paramount is a new GK, CB, ST and RB, for any new manager or if Conte does stay.. Regardless of this board staying or a takeover happening.

We are definitely not broke. The club is in a limbo state because they don't know what Conte will do, and they're most likely in talks of a takeover so don't want to invest anymore. Levy has blood in his hands with his management of the club post-stadium.

We aren’t even loaning out any of the young players either. It’s all very strange.
