Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

This guy Redondo keeps appearing on my timeline, apparantely he's Fernando Redondo's Son, anyone know anything about him?

He’s the purest type of Spurs nerd fantasy.

We aren’t signing him in a million years.

Kid with a name like that is Real Madrid and if not maybe a stop at Benfica to develop on the way.

His agent will know how hard it will be to get Levy to sell him if he’s good so will never let him come here before Real.
 
Do Porro and Kulusevski count against the January net spend as well?
In EVERY window from now on!

Teeth Weirdo GIF
 
Can't expect a big spend in January, we still have the installments of Clive Wilson's transfer to pay.

Revealed: Tottenham pulled plug on deal for '£100m next Alan Shearer' - because he's 'not physical enough'​

Tottenham pulled the plug on signing Evan Ferguson as a 15-year-old due to scouts’ misgivings over his physical potential, sources have told Football Insider.

Spurs watched the Brighton striker closely when he was making a name for himself in his native Ireland in his mid-teens and were firmly in the race to lure him from Irish club Bohemians at that stage.

It is believed, sources say, that talent spotters from the London giants were impressed by Ferguson’s potential and felt he could make it at Premier League level.

But talks over a deal did not progress because scouts felt that the striker, then 15, had almost reached his full physical size and had doubts over whether the rest of his game could compensate.

In the event, Ferguson went on to grow to be 6ft 2in and filled out considerably over the following years.

Brighton eventually won the race to prise Ferguson from Bohemians in January 2021 when he was 16 and coveted by multiple Premier League clubs, who also included Liverpool.

He made his debut for the Seagulls in an EFL Cup clash at 16 and his Premier League debut followed shortly after, a month after his 17th birthday.

The teenage sensation who does not turn 19 until next month, is now firmly established as one of the outstanding attacking talents in European football and gave further indication of his ability with a hat-trick for Brighton in their 3-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United last weekend.

Ferguson already has four league goals this season and a remarkable 14 from just 33 senior matches for the south-coast club.

Football finance expert and Brighton fan Kieran Maguire is in no doubt about the youngster’s value.

If his development continues, then in a year’s time the club won’t stand in his way of a move,” Maguire told Football Insider.

He’s got all the attributes of a young Shearer and Alan Shearer in today’s market at the age of 19 would be worth well over £100million

We have more than enough talented strikers in our academy. Will they develop like Evan Ferguson? Probably not, but I doubt he would either if he went to our academy instead of going to Brighton where they were giving him PL minutes since he was 17.
