Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I think Ornsrein has been fed something from the Chavski camp tbh.
They desperately put out the information about Broja being available for transfer in the hope that someone would buy. Nobody bit so now they're trying to sell Gallagher.

Broja would be a £5-15m event but them asking £35m gives an indication of the money they need. For FFP they need to sell home grown for pure profit, that leaves 3 decent players. Reece James who is always injured, Colwell who Liverpool did want but it’s gone cold and Gallagher who Poch Ioves.

James is a no no as no one is buying a forever injured player so it leaves Gallagher and Colwell which will go down like shit with a lot of Chelsea fans if they sell, be like us selling a talented young player like Sarr or Udogie to Chavs.

Eric speaks at least 3 languages fluently and I imagine he will be speaking German to a good standard before his contract is up. My cousin went to live in the States and was speaking with an American accent within weeks.

It goes further though. It's perfectly natural if you're sensitive to language issues to speak English to non-native speakers in a different way than you do to your best mate over a few pints. You avoid slang and idiomatic expressions (you're "very happy" as opposed to being "over the fucking moon"). Depending on the level of the person you're talking to, you might speak slower, pronounce words more clearly and separately as opposed to running everything together and so on. Experienced language teachers do it as a matter of course, it's called "grading".

Eric might be over-doing it a bit here, his interviewer sounds like he speaks excellent English, but he's only been in Germany a few days and in any case, he isn't a language teacher. In any event, it's better to err on the side of caution - the TV audience will have all kinds of levels of proficiency, it'll be a whole lot easier for those with much lower English skills to understand him speaking like that than if he wasn't taking the slightest care.
 
I still have to keep sitting down to compose myself every time I see the line "chelsea willing to sell Broja for £50m"

In other news, Spurs willing to sell Skipp for £75m and Ndombele for £100m

Blackburn want 20m+ for Wharton if reports that they rejected 17.5m from palace are correct. That’s not cheap for an 18 year old kid.

Compare that to 50m for a much more certain and experienced Gallagher from a direct rival and personally I think that deal looks better.

Tottenham Hotspur winger Bryan Gil has received offers from unnamed Premier League clubs and is currently evaluating it.

Spurs may yet bring in a new midfielder before the window shuts next week, but there are still a few of their own players who could leave. Gil is one of them, and he is reportedly of interest to Tottenham‘s rivals in the Premier League.

I have to assume it's a loan.

I think Gallagher would want to play in the cup final next month.
