Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports


Liverpool agreed a deal to sign Van Dijk on 27th of December.

Considering the situation we currently have at CB, not acting in a similarly urgent manner shows the difference in a nutshell between the way the two clubs are run.
Was that before or after they got pinged for tapping him up?
 
Can you guys PLEASE take the Levy/ENIC stuff to the right thread?????????

 
You asked what deals get done early, I give you an answer, and predictably you offer a nonsense retort consisting of waffle and deflection.

Debating with you is pointless.
It's not really a valid response though is it. They got the deal 6 months later because they agreed to pay something like £19M more as compensation for tapping him up.

They didn't want to pay the extra, they did it to avoid sanctions.
 
You will definitely get no argument from me regarding what a shit show our recruitment was for several years from around 2015/16 ish. And how great Liverpool’s was during most of that time.

Though Liverpool have made some errors over the last 2-3 years, which also left Klopp needing a midfield/defensive rebuild.

They have maintained a fucking good bunch of forwards though, which has continually kept them points competitive.

I don’t know how they persuaded Sbozoszlai to go from one of the most exciting AM prospects in the word to convert into a cart horse for their counter press.
 
You aren't really making a point here mate.


the question is if it's possible or been done before and TomHotspur TomHotspur provided a pretty fucking good example. That transfer was possibly even more relevant because like our 3rd CB search, they had needed it done the summer before.


Nobody said it's easy to do. Just that it can be done.
No he didn't, it was a really poor example, as I've already posted on previously.
 

Last Word On Spurs
@LastWordOnSpurs

Radu Drăgușin's agent has revealed that no one has informed him about any offers that might have arrived for the defender:
"It is difficult to talk during negotiations.
Tomorrow, I will speak to Genoa and see if the club has spoken to anyone, but I haven’t spoken to anyone about the contract and transfer.
I know there is interest in the player but officially no one has told me about an offer for Ragusin
We’ll see tomorrow what Genoa tells me."
lol! Not sure it is for you, buddy
 
Is that fact or your own summarisation based on speculation?

It is the explanation, well known at the time by journalists and pundits alike, that Liverpool had to pay Southampton to get out of a tapping up charge - Liverpool had a bad reputation for that before hence it would be an almost certain transfer ban.

And of course meant they didn't get the player they wanted until 6 months after they wanted him - which was obvious to everyone at the time.
 
Obviously we won't let players go without replacements but here is what could possibly be all our available players left at the end of the window
