The transfer window is still open for another month, but it would be nice to make some progress this week, Daniel.

Gosh he must be one very frustrated man then!
It's not a 10/10 window - but it's far from a disaster. Spurs have improved the starting 11.
Romero signed a new deal - We all expected him to leave.
Danso is quality rotation at CB.
Kudus looks like a decent first 11 signing.
Palhinha looks like a decent first 11 signing.
We haven't seen enough of Tel to judge him. 30m a lot to pay for a player that isn't first team ready, but if he is given the chance to get some games under his belt, I think we will start to see why Spurs signed him.
Losing Son and Kane was never going to be easy. Spurs aren't able to buy ready-made replacements of that quality - they have to buy young and develop.
You're so obviously NOT a Spurs fan.
Of course we can buy quality players, the money is there but not the drive nor ambition to.
You're always downplaying the size and potential of OUR club, so fucking obvious.
Nobody is more of a pessimist and downbeat than me when it comes to Spurs, but as I've said before I remain fairly confident we're getting atleast 2 through the door that most people will be happy with.

FFFS! It is then.
The thing is, we massively overate our youngsters. Take Mikey Moore. I'm sorry, but I don't see a generational talent. I see a young lad who was bigger/stronger than everyone in his age group and probably the group above and was able to dominate. Once that advantage is eroded he is just another young player struggling to make an impact on loan. When he was thrown into action, he didn't really shine with the caveat being nobody really shined under Ange. What is exasperating all of this, is watching Woolwich produce MLS, Nwaneri and now Dowman in the space of two season. Throw in Madueke leaving and the Chavs benefiting to the tune of 55m and quite frankly our academy needs a complete overhaul. We've produced two quality talents from our academy in 30 years (King and Kane). That's it.So The Gooners have a 15 year old playing and winning a Penalty against Leeds, Liverpool have a 16 year old scoring the winner last night, Spurs finally have a manager who is great for improving Young Players and what do we do? We Loan out all of our Younguns!!!!![]()
Absolutely amateur again from the board.
To be in this position at this stage of the window isridiculous.absolutely standard for THFC since the arrival of Levy and ENIC.
Put them where you like, they're still not new players to us fans.For the sake of accounting, they are 25/26 signings.
Either you add them to last seasons spend, which was pretty large considering £65m for Solanke and £40m for Gray. Or you add them to this season.
Given the actual transfers were completed in this financial year, then it's this season.
Surprised he's still here since Ange went.![]()
Just keep looking at the wheel….you are getting sleepy, sleepy….
But the cost matters.Put them where you like, they're still not new players to us fans.
Or we pay what they ask for.The only way we get Savinho is if he personally walks up to Pep and tells him, “Gaffer, you’re a bald fraud and I want to play for that super sexy Thomas Frank with his luscious locks.”
Well he's not wrong, we aren't capable, we've demonstrated we aren't capable. That's not a money thing, it's a competence thing. Go have a look at our top 20 transfer spends, trigger warning though, it may make you weep.![]()

Where is the fun in that?Admin
Can we have a rule that we do not start the January Transfer thread until the last week of January 2026.![]()
