Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If we are replacing Vicario in the summer, we could do worse than the Sunderland GK Roefs imo.
Let's replace him now.

"Hey Inter Milan, how about Vicario for Sommer + a bit of cash? Sending the paperwork over now. Grazie mille!"

Then how about we get a young English keeper in, and Sommer teaches him the ropes for a few months/full season before he takes over?
 
Of all the positions, I don't mind us going cheap at LB too much. I know some people on here hate Udogie, but I think on form he's decent, and the main thing is having some genuine left-footed cover and competition for that spot.

I do think we really do need to go big on a top LW and CM, though. If getting Souza in for cheap means we can spend big money on those two positions I'm all for it. Doesn't sound like we're prioritising a CM, though, worryingly.
Udogie is shit but okay...
 
We're Spurs fans, hope is all we have!

I guess Souza will likely be the first buy if we can stump up an extra million or so. Pathetic as we’ve needed a lb for years as cover and we are still shopping in sub £10m ranges.
We don't need a LB as cover. We need a starting XI quality LB...with Ben or Djed acting as cover. Funnily enough, we already have one on the books...and nope he's not called Udogie. But yeah, play that guy there (which he does for his NT) and we'd need a new LCB.

Anyway, what a proper big club with genuine ambition (plus 9th richest in the world, best stadium, most expensive ST etc etc) would do is go for someone like Dimarco or Carreras or Grimaldo or Alphonso...throw money at them, show them you're friggin serious, and you just never know.

What you don't do is throw 10mil at some random kid from Brazil who's played just 24 pro games. What's the friggin point. If that's all you gotta spend, may as well go for an English lad with Champo experience.
 
With this stat regarding progressing passing... Fuck it, get not 1, but 2 midfielders that can pass ball - as a priority over any other position.
 
Let's stop right there.

He's had one good season at Frankfurt, a huge fee, and PSG have been desperate to offload him.

He's no Erling Haaland, and he's not even at Soldado levels of established forward. There isn't much talent - he can barely control the ball and can't score headers from 4 yards out
I never suggested he was a Haaland, I said he was talented... But with us he looks normal... For me he's more of a winger than a number 9 anyway.... Tbh I can't see us buying him after the loan. I'm merely pointing out that at the moment talented players, are not looking talented at all, and it's got to change
