Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Such a bunch of losers on here talking the club down and fannying on about "accepting our place in the pecking order.

Bollocks to that. We have everything in place to attract the top players if the club shows the willingness to compete.

Show a top player the money, the chance to play in front of 60,000 every week, and convince them that this is a club that means business and expects to compete for major trophies over the next decade and he will come.

We're also a Champions league club ffs with a rich European pedigree.

"Accept our place in the pecking order"? .Fuck right off with that shite on a Tottenham Hotspur forum.

So overly careful not to 'do a Leeds' that we've almost ended up more like them than a regular CL club.
 
Very curious who the top player is that will definitely come to us for huge wages that every other PL club pays, being promised the same things every other PL club promises and a yearly membership to 'Faces'.

Maybe it's Jack Grealish.

I agree, players that we are talking about now like Semenyo, Mitoma and N'dyaie have all initially signed for non top tier premier league clubs. I think the problem is that when a player is as good as Semenyo and we are trying to buy premier league proven players we are not as attractive as Man City, Liverpool or even A***nal...

Which is my point.

We were literally in the CL final not long ago and just finished 17th.

But apparently that doesn't change our place in the pecking order.

You stink it up as badly as we have the last 5 years, we shouldn't expect the same level of attraction.

Jeez, we were talking about Kane returning not long ago (even Bayern weren't sure) and now he's suddenly talking about how he's gonna stick it out in Germany and possibly sign a new contract.
 
Great player who has yet to regain his place at Brighton after a decent spell injured.

He'd be quite the risk too. Maybe watch Brighton over the next couple weeks and get a better understanding of where he's at. He gets lively again, pounce.

With respect Mitoma isn't a great player or he would be back in a Brighton team that are on a poor run.

We need players who are going to make an appreciable difference.

Agreed. Fuck that.

This is sport, the whole point is winning and you don’t ever do that by “accepting your place in the pecking order”.

His injury history is a real problem.

For someone as dynamic as him, if they take a real toll, abilities fall off a cliff for a player like that.

For clarity, we're talking strictly transfers.

Surely, you understand we aren't going to be signing an unsettled Vinicius Jnr or an Omar Marmoush, who are probably the 2 biggest maybe names on the market.

It's about being pragmatic as to where the rebuild starts.

Sure, we can waste a window courting Vini Jnr as we did with Eze, but in the real world it won't get this show on the road.

Even after we beat Manchester United to a European trophy, Mbuemo and Cunha still chose them.

We mock the Gooners so much for their delusions, and rightly so. I like to think we have a smarter, more grounded fanbase (with the obvious exceptions) than those absolute balloon knots that liken Calafiori to Maldini.

We can be the best, or one of, as I agree that we have the infrastructure in place (we have done for many years now). But we are nowhere near at this current moment in time using those advantages and have squandered many opportunities under Levy.

Remember, even when we were very good, we lost Walker, Modric, Bale etc. There is a pecking order.

Any Spurs fan who wants us to sign Diomande, especially for 70-80 or even 100mil...is friggin crazy and needs to have a serious word with themselves.
He does look really good in AFCON games so far. Several times a match, he glides past two or three players before being stopped by another two or three. This in turn is leaving so much space on the other wing that Diallo is looking like a world beater.

If the two of them had someone better than Zaha to aim for, they’d be winning games by ten goals.
 
Mentioned a few times, but think a signing like Mitoma makes a lot of sense.

He's 28 and would go straight into the first team, allowing Odobert / Tel to develop. Once he hits his 30s they should be in a position to step up.

Think his contract is up either this year or next to wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.
Seems to have been injured a lot recently
 
Note the poster who failed to celebrate our Europa win now spouting more nonsense.
You're a proper little slimeball aren't you. Forever taking cheap shots from the sidelines.

How would you know how I celebrated the Europa League win you fucking slug.

Why should I be compelled to explain my absence on an anonymous football forum for around 12 days (either side, btw) of that wonderful night in the Basque Country.

You have absolutely no idea what personal events disrupted my life last May and you never, ever fucking will.

Here's an idea. Instead of taking every opportunity to open your vile mouth on the issue, think ....what was our closest night to the glory of Bilbao? Without doubt, it was the beautiful miracle of Amsterdam.

I dare you to dig out that thread from that glorious night and it's aftermath and read through my posts.

I was one the most maniacal, proliferous, joyous posters on this forum and it's all there for you to see.

I've let your constant sniping (and others) slide for the last 8 months due to the events that preceded. Not anymore. Not now it's 2026 and you're still setting the bait.

So get back in your box and stfu once and for all


Oh. .Happy New year
