And still doesn't buy a CB in the first week or 2 of January

agreed, lets hopeWith the CB injury crisis as bad as it is, you would think that, we might bring in someone quite quickly.

No real surprise - but he won't be available during January and likely much of early Feb
I’m hearing through the grapevine we will get our business done super early this window, now pay me!![]()
Last Asia Cup 4 years ago, Son missed the first couple of games for Korea to minimize the time away from Spurs matches - I think Korea are one of the favorites and so the early games are pretty easy wins. We should be doing it again this year.
Who here has the number for the Korea FA and wants to give them a call?![]()
Oh yawn. It’s predictable that when you can’t prove your point and obviously did not want understand to my point then you resort to cheap, childish insults – that’s an insult to human intelligence. May the Almighty bless you with maturity and intelligence,Bless, you must have spent ages making no valid argument.
I said no title winning team has had to use other players as CB's
Your first line shows 2 CB's being used away from CB
Your 2nd line shows 1 player being played (sort of) out of position as a CB, not all of them.
Your 3rd line shows an attacker playing different attacking positions (nothing to do with defense at all)
Your 4th line shows vague references to a team who have won 1 title in 34 years shuffling a bit, where we know they didn't shuffle and had 1 or 2 of the best CB's available all season in that 1 title winning seasons.
A title winning team is built on a solid defense that plays most games. CB's playing CB as regularly as possible is critical. You can wing it occasionally with 1 out, but not both, for sustained periods of time.
I said it under both Mourinho and Conte, having a weak defense upsets the whole team as the forward players need confidence in the players behind them.
Klinsmann is their manager and has been having a hard time. Already said Sonny will go on 1 JanLast Asia Cup 4 years ago, Son missed the first couple of games for Korea to minimize the time away from Spurs matches - I think Korea are one of the favorites and so the early games are pretty easy wins. We should be doing it again this year.

My point was clear. You don't win the title with no CB's.Oh yawn. It’s predictable that when you can’t prove your point and obviously did not want understand my point then you resort to cheap, childish insults – that’s an insult to human intelligence. May the Almighty bless you with maturity and intelligence,

If you had to deal with Rabiot's mama in FM you'd never had signed himMr Levy, here's the roadmap:
- Brassier for £10mil- Tosin for £10mil...or free swap with Dier (who gets to stay in the PL, in London and start every week for a decent team)- Rabiot for Hojbjerg + 25 mil + one of my kidneys- Olise for Skipp + Gil + 25 mil- Jack Clarke for Parrott + Scarlett + 10 mil- Solanke for 50 mil + Veliz on loan for 18 months
Don't you dare tell me it's not doable in the space of a month and that we don't have the finances. I accomplished it all within 4 days on Football Manager.
One can only hope.My hope is that £60m is the upper limit of his fee, and one that's unlikely to be achievable. Regardless, very bizarre that this is our record signing.
For someone so suppoesdly meticulous, and stingy, when he does spend big it often seems like an impulse buy without a lot of forethought or due diligence.

The competition might make Romero buck his ideas in terms of being a bit rash knowing he’d lose his place and may not get it back.We need CB's
![]()
Romero is too unreliable.
Sign another player capable of being the main man at the back.
Let them fight it out for supremacy.
And then sign another CB
Title winning teams don't have to keep shuffling players from other positions into critical ones like CB all season long.
A bit of a bizarre list.Chaps, you laugh...and I thank you for that!...but the first two on that list should be bread & butter for us. Getting them two boys first thing in Jan should be zero trouble for a club like Spurs, with or without incl big Eric in the Tosin deal.
Indeed said at the time why are we in for him? Surely an attacking forward who can beat people, has good skills and can chip in with decent qty of goals was needed for that price. The obvs 2 being ollise and eze both of who are better than rich. Having said that let’s see what Rich can do as main man when son is off to Asia cup.Richarlison was just a bizarre signing that I honestly don’t think any Spurs fan could offer any universally accepted logical reason as to why we decided to spend 60 million on him.
Lol yeah she's supposed to be a right nightmare. That being said, it was mostly when her lad was at PSG and they're a friggin weird club, one that'd stop at nothing to discredit someone that doesn't play ball. Seem to recall reading not long ago about how they could go on trial for having recruited an army of twitter accounts to launch online attacks on people with adverse views of the club...or something along those lines. That Nasser and his mob are proper mafia type.If you had to deal with Rabiot's mama in FM you'd never had signed him![]()
Hugo off to MLS and LA. Fair play and nice place to retire with the family
You’re 100% right according to this Athletic article in February.My hope is that £60m is the upper limit of his fee, and one that's unlikely to be achievable. Regardless, very bizarre that this is our record signing.
