Transfers January 2023 Transfer Thread. The Big One

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Loving the Brighton business model. Find a foreign buck at the airport, throw a jersey on him and with three months… spurs , Woolwich or Chelsea will give you a fuck tone of money.
White, trossard, bissouma, curly sue and concedio comes to over 200 million
 
We are a club going absolutely nowhere


Woolwich unexpectedly hit the top of the league and they absolutely plough in the money to make sure they're resourced to stay there.
Chelsea struggling so they plough money in to fix it.
Newcastle growing as a club still, punching above their weight but still strengthening.
City are stacked and don't really need to buy they just need to adjust their style.
Liverpool bleat that they can't compete and then sign their second consecutive £40m January attacker after £85m on one in between.
Even fucking Bournemouth managed to agree a free for Zaniolo in 15 minuted flat. Regardles as to whether he wanted to join is irrelevant, they were willing to pay.

And we, we loan a player and spend FOUR FUCKING WEEKS wasting time on one we can't seem to actually get.

At this stage, I'm positive that chairman all over the planet are trolling Daniel Levy because he's such a megacunt. Fuck, he deserves to be trolled.

The man is a stain on the club, just wait until ENIC go, and then see a different club emerge.
Then all the apologists will disappear, once everyone realises the damage this cunt has done.
 
The game has really gotten weird when AS Roma are champing at the bit to sell their Italian international wunderkind to a minnow club with no hope of reaching Europe who play in an 11k stadium in a little Dorset hamlet.

The economics of that don't seem sustainable.
Whoa!

My parents live in Bournemouth. I’ll have you know that far from being a sleepy Dorset hamlet, it is a sophisticated, metropolitan hub. There’s a Franco Manco pizza, Odeon megaplex with seven screens and the well maintained road network is serviced by numerous Wild Bean Cafes.

This is an outrageous slur.

Oi!!

Did you just accurately survey the landscape in the league right now with how the club works vs the clubs we all deem to be our biggest rivals? Stop that you whining gooner/chelsea/scouser/insert name here lover!!!!1!1!

I much prefer to keep my head in the sand thank you very much, take your moaning elsewhere. Keep talking like that and I might actually have to do some critical thinking and recognise that there’s an issue here!!!

Haha the economics are built on the global brand of the PL leveraged by plucky minnows like Bournemouth

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
 
Happy Weekend all.

Porro, World Class potential CB and a Maddison by Monday please (Edwards preferably if Gil goes on loan)…

Thanks Dan.

Great post. Those clubs have long term planning, a strategy and managers that could be with them for years. They want to improve and win things. We have a chairman who wants younger players but wont pay for them, a manager that wants experience but we wont pay for them and a DoF who appears to have given up, which might be sensible as he'll probably be retiring in a few weeks. Our squad consists of 3 loans, a load of players who's contracts end in 18 months and a couple of fading stars who have helped carry us for 4 or 5 years. Root and branch change is needed and that starts at the top.
 
& despite this people still won’t admit there way of doing things is working a million times better than our crap way. Proof is in the pudding!
1. Is it fucking frustrating to see Woolwich’s young squad where ours was and they spend to attack it when Levy and co went 2 windows without buying a player?

Yes.

2. Is it fucking frustrating that they are consistently more aggressive and more ambitious in the transfer market than ENIC despite missing CL and with lower revenue?

Yes.

But


They were wank last night against City. They are often wank but seem to have the whole world enchanted to say they are good even when they are wank.
They are reliant on a rapist in CM and still pick Granit Xhaka every week. Rob Holding is still the definition of their depth. Zinchenko has no chin. Trossard is the new Nasri.
 
You can't like Woolwich! but right now I watch them hoping to see the weakness, and hope they lose, and weaknesses there are, but he has them playing so well it's hard to take advantage. They rush up to high press and must be leaving gaps and space in behind but they are so fast and so well drilled it's difficult for teams. Hopefully they slip a little here or there and the confidence goes, then the structure slips and they fall apart!

Awesome. Good for them. I'm glad you enjoyed your evening watching them play.
