Don't know why but I can't see them signing Lookman now. Maybe I'm wrong but I guess we are done unless City have a late change of heart on Savinho
Next thing you know you'll be saying goals are relatively important in football matches. Sarcasm obviously!
The criticism of Johnson is idiotic. He's not costing us two goals for each one he scores.
Not necessarily a pop at youMariner but I'm not sure why we need the views of random X non-celebs like that weirdo and Billie fucking T always posted in here like they're somehow super-relevant to this forum.
If they want to post in here they can. If people want to seek out their opinions they can fucking read X.
Rant over.
Would love this place to make a collective effort to cut right back on the amount of faux-media shite posted in the trf thread............. But unfortunately; it'll never happen. Neither those that get constantly triggered by it, nor a lot of those that routinely call it bullshit can resist feeding the beast.
The amount of avoidable anguish in this thread is insane.

A leader on the pitch
Ake or Akanji.
And think we will get a winger, or another versatile forward who can play across.
Unless Takai does a Dele, this would be a mistake…Athletic reporting we’re not in for another defender:
Thomas Frank: Tottenham Hotspur will not sign a new centre-back before the window closes
Spurs struggled with injuries last season as Van de Ven had a hamstring injury while Romero had toe and quad issues.www.nytimes.com

No, I dont think so.
Neither could the goons. They are right on their limit but still found a way and pushed the boat out. Did the same with Raya on loan and they've done it again. Hincapie would have filled what for me is a glaring weakness in our squad. Surely we could have offered to buy with a significant amount up front to put pressure on Leverkusen , who in turn would have put pressure on Hincapie , along with us of course. Plus another Frank power point presentation might have pushed it over the line.Cant afford Hincapie then
He said dragusin will be back training with team after international break
VDV
Romero
Danso
Davies
Dragusin
5 centre backs, with takai to round it up to 6 when he's fit, and gray who can go there in an emergency.
I can see why we may have bigger fish to fry with just 3 days left in the window
Tottenham window now closed
Come on, fella... A whole bunch of you have been saying that for the last week or more and were wrong.
............What's there to gain from being a wet blanked all over again at this point?
Both Roger’s and Xavi can play on the left as well as through the middle….changing around dur8ng games could really confuse opponents.
I just can’t live with a Tottenham Hotspur winger with such little ball skill. We buy jose dominguez (who my uncle called; Catherine Wheel coz he spun around in circles a lot)
We sign Chris Waddle who had mid 90s skills in the 80s he was so ahead of his time
we sign Cliff Jones
We sign David Ginola who won pfa player if the year in a team that finished bottom half
And countless other classy wingers that get you off your seat
We don't sign someone who can't dribble, can't beat a man, it goes without saying he's quite one footed, poor passer, can't shoot from distance, can't cross (for the love of God: A winger who can't cross!?). can he even switch the play to the other wing?
Anyway, he gets me worked up. In Spain, lots of clubs have a DNA about them (Betis - skillfull, Vallecano -gritty, Bilbao - all basque, barca - tiki taka, majorca -flamboyant, etc). for a lot of clubs it's the only thing they can cling to since winning trophies is locked up by the usual few. I don't think many English clubs do have a DNA. Spurs definitely do have one. Everyone knows it up and down the land
And Brennan Johnson does not have the Spurs DNA
He can come on as a sub though

Nope..... Crazy as it sounds; it's a loan. Which tells you all you need to know.... The player only had eyes for the scum.
Fuck him; there'll be others.
After Trafford’s calamity last week I wouldn’t be surprised if pep asked for Donnaruma. Which I don’t think is what they need. City need ball playing keeper with technical skill and he ain’t that.
It would be quite funny nonetheless watching Donnaruma trying to cruyff turn his way out of trouble or play intricate one twos with Diaz and Stones.
Honestly, i think we get this type of noise at the end of every transfer window and it rarely comes off.
Look at the CL squad list, right now it's full:
View: https://x.com/trev0r_m/status/1961542421856358874
Now, let's say we sign one more defender, Ben Davies could be left out of the CL squad but in terms of another attcking player, Kulusevski is already left out, as is Maddison. Kulusevski will be fit again in time to be knocking on that door. I get people will debate loaning Tel or Odobert but it doesn't seem realistic, especially not with this much time left.
Maaaaybe a defender but Frank flat out denied that today so who knows how likely that is.
