Happy New Year Love GIF by Wired Productions
 
So he doesn't want to join Spurs. Why insist on a player who doesn't want to come here?

By all accounts he thinks he prefers to play all the time - not concerned at club - which rto be fair is probably true of majority of players (nb not Ndombele who wants wages and food guarantees !).

I'd be worried if any player coming here thinks he's an automatic choice. So that's either a conversation to have or he's had it and thinks another club may give him 'playing guarantees' before he joins a club. We'll find out if he joins us, that he's found he needs to compromise on something (no different to house hunting, the 'must have' swimming pool isn't compatible with my price band of houses)
 
We have been here before with Sanchez.

It's great to see him recover and play well. But if we get a decent wedge for him we take it.

He will still get deep into the season and randomly fall over during a match. He's a better fit for Amge than Dier but that isn't a reason to make him our 3rd choice CB.
Spot on. The judgment I always use is “would you buy that player if he wasn’t already here”.

In reality, if Sanchez was available on a free I wouldn’t advocate the club signing him.

Ergo if we get a good offer we ship him out….
 
What I don't get is why we can't seem to get EPL clubs interest in our surplu splayers.
I mean Aarons went for £7m.

Low stock.

Playing such boring negative football and giving off the notion that the players can't play football isn't a good look.

When you're winning and playing good football, and teams realise our players aren't actually shit, they've just been coached horribly, you'll find it easier to sell your deadwood. Look under Poch where we couldn't sell the deadwood in his first season but after a few years we would sell the likes of Wimmer for 18m

Hopefully, the fact Sanchez has shown he is actually a capable player means his stock has risen a bit and we can get a decent fee for him.
 
For one competition?

Need 2 players per position. Tanganga is off and Dier can’t do high line. If Sanchez goes and we get Tosin then we will need another.

If Tosin is really good and 3rd choice then obviously we can bring in a 4th choice but all our defenders will clearly need to be suited to high line and also half decent on the ball.
 
This is my opinion, part of the fun, I know lots will disagree. I think this window has once again turned into a bit of a shambles, other teams seem to be linked with players, then get their business done without too much fuss. We skirt around the edges, wondering if we can find an extra 50p down the back of the sofa. This window really should have been the start of a clear out, unfortunately it has not happened.
