Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

See my post on Kudos. He's a busted flush.

But even if he does that he then has to play Tel at RW and he would get slated for that as well. As Tel is garbage.
And Muani hasn't shown anything apart from a "fuck you" cameo against the club that owns him.

If he had what I consider good attacking players at his disposal and still insisted on playing like this I'll join you in jumping on him. But right now its sauce for the goose.

Why has Kudus got worse?

Why did Muani only go off script against PSG, the best team in Europe?

All of our players are getting worse.

Kudus has gotten worse because he is what is referred too as a busted flush.

You'll get two good games then five bad with him. The West Ham fans said as much before we bought him which is never a good sign.

He's just reverting to type.

Muani I'm not convinced really gives a shit, he's on a loan. I just don't see anything in his body language to suggest he gives a solitary fuck.

Could be a motivation issue, laziness, fatigue or the novelty of joining us has worn off. Brady said last season he lost his mojo last season. Upto frank to rejuvenate him. Tbh i dont understand why he runs into traffic. That needs to be coached out of him tbh. Makes it harder for himself.

If we don’t send bodies forward, what is the alternative option other than dribbling into traffic?

Just pass it back where it came from? Doing that just got Brennan Johnson booted out of the club.
 
Perhaps I am seeing something that is not there, but I’d say he can play with his back to the goal and bring the ball down, but he cannot play forward on the half turn, it takes him too long to adjust his body and that moment allows good defenders to get around him and shut him down.
 
Of course as a coach you can make players better. But you can't make average players into title challenging players.
Our Keeper got booked for Time wasting at 0-0 versus fucking Brentford, the keeper doesn't time waste at 0-0 unless its a tactic by the manager, not sure about everyone else but I find this fucking embarrassing!

Get the fraud out of our club, give the job to the fucking Tea lady and we won't look any worse!
 
If it's true that United are looking to offload Bruno Fernandes we should be all over that. Even at 31 he would be our best midfielder and most creative player by a country mile. Actually by several country miles ...
 
All those months of prep to hit the ground running in January looks spookily as similar as 2025 when we neeed to hit the ground running…

The more it changes the more it stays the same.

Like Steve Hitchins I am sick of the January transfer window, I’d much rather see that all clubs are allowed two signings between September and March maximum at any point and drop this January bollocks all together, it’s helping no one.
 
Let's be real, this season is now about getting to 40 points as quick as we can and then forgetting it ever happened

We have zero chance of making anything more of it

Not at you directly, but I’m glad people are finally coming round to exactly where we sit as a club currently. It needs to change. Fans are ready but are rebranded ENIC. I doubt it.

We’ve already been spun it’s a hard market in January. Some fans are falling for It. Just bring in one top player. That’s the move. Go all out for one player who isn’t afraid of scoring a goal or passing to a team mate on their correct foot at the right time.

Plus a left back, but I’ve been saying that for a year. Need natural width. Can’t rely on udogie. Even a loan will do for that position for the rest of the season but we need it.
 
I'm not convinced that Frank wouldn't turn Wharton into a sideways-backwards passing merchant; but a deep playmaker is the most urgent need regardless of who's in charge. How many times have we seen this so far this season?

It hasn't been much better with other players in place either; this is not specifically a Bentancur-Palhinha issue even though they've become the poster children.

Kudus isn't getting worse; he was never any good. He's a poor player, with bad conditioning. His first touch is dreadful, and out of possession he is a ball watcher. He is essential everything that Adama Traore was - and as Tim Sherwood put it best, he's got talent, but his head is full of rocks.

Muani is at Spurs because nobody else wanted him. Clearly a reason why PSG abandoned a 90m striker so quickly. He's playing for a pay check; and will turn it on when it suits him, not the club.

A deep playmaker is what we need. Someone who can take the ball and dictate the pace of the game. Rueben Neves is one that stands out as he always looked like someone who knew when to quicken up the game and when to have the composure to slow it down. Whether he’d take a wage cut to come to us I don’t know. Wharton is one that I’ve watched a lot lately but he’s not coming to us. We are not a real option for top players who want to win things and having a manager like ours will put players off.
Firstly we need change him before anything else but we won’t and this season will be an utter right off and it will be even harder to recruit next season with no European football. We can salvage this season if we get Frank out now.
