Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Survival this season is the only thing that matters and then gut this squad out across 2-3 years.

Only way we get back to being a good football club again is to accept a couple of years of mid table and squad rebuild if we're lucky.

If we don't scrap a lot of the squad, we'll get relegated in the next year or two.

Villa went from fighting relegation to fighting for CL in a season under Emre

Getting the right man in the door with a couple players in the next couple of weeks could get us fighting for some form of Europe with how tight the league is.

Next manager after Frank is the single most important thing.

Give Alonso whatever he wants IMO

There's more to Villa's success than just Emery.

But yes, hiring a world class manager is an essential thing.

They won't even make the call to Xabi.

Can imagine that’s part of the Frank delay.

Lange “Vinai the Lewis family would like you to call Xabi Alonso”.
Vinai “As Sporting Director, Johann, that is a call for you to make.”
Lange “Sorry, but they asked me to ask you to call him Vinai”.
Vinai “Well, are you sure? As this is a Sporting decision, shall we ask Paratici?”
Lange “Oh yes, good idea, Xabi can laugh at him instead of us.”
Vinai “Where is Paratici?”…

"Vinai, you have to call Xabi."

"Why the hell would I call Xavi about the manager role...he's only 22 and we need him on the pitch."

"Nah not that Xavi, I meant Alonso."

"Ah yeah I like Alonso, very nice F1 driver. Would be great to launch our new Go-kart promo."
 
Fuhrich really ain't that great. We need a killer attacker.

I like Stiller, good player...but he gives me Lewis Holtby vibes from a PL adaptation pov. Would much rather we go after Wharton...or Locatelli.
I’m watching Fuhrich score and cause real issues for Stuttgart v UB. Looked dangerous every touch before going off.

Don’t get Holtby from Stiller tbh. Weirdly more like a Barca style DLP

Holtby’s a terrible comparison. Like saying Modric gives off Harry Winks vibes. Stiller’s a much, much, much better player than Holtby.

He’s not even a terrible tackler, he can time tackles fine. He’s just not very quick or that mobile, which is fine, Gallagher, Sarr, Bergvall and Gray all have enough legs to cover for him.
 
Ignoring Frank we still need a proper winger and passing midfielder. Club need to get on it, even Lookman and a half decent CM should help us out.
