Transfers January Transfer Thread 2024

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

He’s theirs. It’s blatantly obvious. Jan 10th and we have embarked on a wild roller coaster ride/goose chase culminating in absolutely fuck all except some good ol public humiliation and reminder of our lowly place in the contemporary club football hierarchy.

On to the next one. Hope Emerson and Davies can keep United at bay.
Erm, Davies is injured, but you know what, we have VdV back
 
Some more info regarding 777 who own Genoa and Genoa’s financial situation…we all know who loves “a financial situation”👀👀🤣🤣

“Two of their flagship investments, Belgian institution Standard de Liège and Genoa CFC, the doyen of Italian football, still crippled by debt and posting eight-figure losses, are now both under the threat of points deductions because of non-respect of their financial obligations; and their Berlin club Hertha BSC (*) is not faring any better.

The Italian model
Locht remains “confident” and points at another club in 777’s stable to illustrate what can and should be done, adding “that’s what we must attain, that’s 777’s objective”. The problem is that the club in question is Genoa, whose own debt burden is almost eight times that of Standard, and is also in danger of losing a point or more as punishment for financial irregularities.

It is the second time that the debt-ridden Ligurian club risks dropping points for failing to pay its taxes in time. Just as happened a year previously, the Grifone were late in settling their debt to the Inland Revenue, which immediately alerted the Serie A watchdog COVISOC. When this last happened, Genoa CFC were docked one point. An administrative error was apparently to blame this time, something of which Genoa will have to convince the authorities, whose patience would have good reason to wear thin: the Italian authorities have already agreed to reduce the club’s colossal tax debt from 106 to 37 million euro in exchange of a strict commitment from Genoa to fulfil their obligations from now on. As explained by Josimar, Genoa only managed to negotiate this settlement because they were able to prove that they were “in a crisis situation”. In other words, should the Italian taxman insist on a full payment, the club would go bankrupt and the government would not get a cent. When contacted by Josimar, Genoa responded that they would “kindly not prefer to respond” to our questions and referred instead to a club statement of which we reproduce a translation below (*).“

Yea this doesn’t sound that great really.

I sorta feared we’d get gazzumped should we not seal the deal fast enough… I’m into checking out Ko Itakura at Borussia Monchengladbach should we fail to sign him. Seems like he’d be able to cover at RB potentially too. Gives me Davies vibes as a very dependable understudy.
I like Itakura, decent player...but he's at the Asian Cup ain't he?
 
I don’t think this is at Levy’s door. It’s been documented Munn and Lange were in Genoa.

The agent has been playing the game. He’s been very outspoken, and letting Bayern know what’s happening. We’ve agreed terms with the player. Not much more we can do.
We agreed terms with the player last week I think. Why didn’t the club put in official offer then of €25M plus 5m add ons. Genoa accepted that yday but BM have come in with 30M. If we put in earlier may be we could have got it over the line. Not sure when suddenly targeted Drag. Although even if we put in bid earlier we don’t know if BM would have acted in any case.
 
This appears to be the SC take on matters:

What Lies Beneath

‘’Radu had a talks with both managers tonight and club reps I’m sure the don has been in his ear as he knows him very well . He’s asked for time to make his choice. I hear she Likes London over Munich tho haha 😂 . The saga will be over Tomrorow . But my news was he hasn’t agreed to bayern tonight yet and the hijack has turned into a battle 😉 I was hinting it.
