Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

That latest bid, if true, is very concerning. It’s fine haggling when 1 on 1, but when another enters the table it muddies the waters. Naples is a lovely city supposedly, good team, hope we close it out today.

Will be very angry if we suddenly need to look at 3rd/4th choice targets.

there isn't much Napoli can do if we really are interested, bigger club, bigger league, money they can't possibly compete with.
I Just expect it to drag until mid to late January, but at least MVDV is back

The tweet which caused the alarm claimed Napoli have made a written proposal for :

Today Napoli took concrete steps for Radu Dragusin by formalizing a written offer to Genoa.

▪️20/22M€.
▪️Østigård's card [7-10M].
▪️Alessandro Zanoli's loan.

That looks like more than competing, if Genoa want those players, it looks like going in ultra strong.

Same transfer thread every window, just different player names.

Levy is always a prick because of the windows we bought no-one or because signings don't happen quick enough or because a random tweet says we're hassling over £1million.

And people believe any Twitter account they fancy, even if said account has one follower.

Someone always asks for a convo to be taken to the Levy/Enic thread.

As certain posters, we all know who, don’t get the bites they want in that thread, so then come into this one trying to wind people up. Repeat ad nauseam.
 
I'm going all out and saying we're going to fuck this deal and Napoli are going to peg us. Right in the bumholey.

To be fair,if we are actually in for him then he’d choose us over Napoli. More money,higher profile,better facilities and we are on the up and they are going the opposite way.
I’m not 100% sure we are actually in for him even though I hope we are because I think he’ll become a top defender from what I’ve saw.
If it comes down to losing him because of haggling over a few million then the shit will hit the fan.
I’d be surprised if we don’t get this over the line but it’s Tottenham.

they wouldn't turn down instant cold hard British sterling at a value they want over some loans and a low fee paid over 5 years
and is the player is going to accept that when spurs are offering double the salary to play in the biggest football league in the world?
Like i said, if we're really interested there isnt much a club like Napoli can do

its up to Levy if he's willing to back Ange/scouts fully on this one
 
I was thinking Illing-Junior may be able to do a job as a LB but if he's losing the ball that often in a game Juve is winning so easily, I do have my doubts - but in Paratici & Angelos I trust (so far)

Feed-back on SC from Coppa Italia game Juve vs Salernitana 6-1

Unfortunately Illing -Junior is having an absolutely awful match. He’s even worse this half. Think he’s lost the ball every time he’s had it this half. Not surprised he’s just come off.

My only worry with the likes of the Dragusin deal if true is that Ange might look and think he’s asked for a player and they don’t get him because of haggling for a few million less he might think I’m fucked trying to build a future here. It’s not as though the money mentioned is classed as backing a manager.
Arteta,Pep,Klopp,Ten Haag and Poch get real backing. If we did back Ange and I’m pretty sure he’s not into splashing £100 million on players for the sake of it but get the right players then we will be successful.
This loan with option or have to buy stinks of pinching every penny for the present.
I think we all want the club to back Ange as he’s the first manager since the 80s for me that has actually truly embraced what this club is and seems to have a real ambition to build and be successful.

This reminds me of the Raya hype where we were apparently haggling over his price and everyone was saying just pay the money and then they were pissed off we went for the "cheaper" option in Vicario.

But we dont even know if Dragusin is Anges top target - We all thought Raya was our top GK target in the summer and he has turned out to be a bullet dodged.
We do know though that Ange has said he wants his targets in Early , so lets see if we deliver........ If we dont I'm sure Ange isnt one to shy away from saying how he feels.
