Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Levy hasn’t been discarded by the megarich. He’s one of them. At least a billionaire on paper. Not exactly a gardener. I shed no tears for him.

That football club owners see their international businesses as a vehicle to make money as opposed to owned by the local community — 90% of Spurs fan aren’t even local anymore— for the common good is standard thinking unless you’re living in 1928 or you’ve watched too much ‘Welcome To Wrexham’.
I never said he was a gardener , I said he was treated imho by the family like he was . Whether it be a gardener or a maid or a chauffeur he has been jettisoned by the family . I also shed no tears for him , in fact I think it is karma he got treated like he treated Martin Jol
 
Well, now the offer is slightly more than we paid for Bergvall which makes him a better player than he was yesterday.

Leicester paid £450k for Mahrez before selling him on for £60m (making him the most expensive African player in the Prem).Kanté was bought by the same club for £5.6m. Obviously neither were proper Prem transfers based on the fee and it’s not like those players helped the club win a title.
Going forward, the goal should be to pay ‘proper fees’ for everyone because that’s how we measure ‘ambition’. It’s worked out brilliantly so far in terms of our expensive signings.

My point is that the club is still fucking about putting ludicrous bids in for players that they obviously want.

Our transfer policy hasn't changed at all, insult the selling club, relent and then risk losing the player to another club.

We have never led in the transfer market, always looking for the cheap player, and just look where that policy has led us.

Mathys fucking Tel, Werner, Solomon, and the like, players who most Championship clubs wouldn't entertain.

'Tottenham weighing up January signing after Kudus injury'​

Tottenham are weighing up whether or not they will sign an attacking player in January after scans have shown Mohamed Kudus' injury is worse than first feared, according to The Telegraph.

Kudus limped off during the draw against Sunderland, and subsequent scans have revealed he is set to miss several games, potentially forcing Spurs to act in the market.

Tottenham boss Thomas Frank admitted ahead of the game against Bournemouth that his side were short on attacking options having already sold Brennan Johnson to Crystal Palace.

We are a fucking joke, just fold the club and I can do something more productive with my time.

So we are:

Weighing Up
Considering
Planning
Working On
May Bid

Just what do Lange and Paratici do between transfer windows aide from taking a huge salary?
 
Sky Sports seem to think we're in for this left back, Souza.

Because of the injury to RWF Kudus.

I know it’s still early days but there doesn’t seem to be any credible intel on us trying to do any business.

Will it in fact turn out that Levy was the Lewis’ scapegoat? I find it hard to believe that it was all completely his doing. And if that is the case they need fucking off as well

The little ive read on him he's barely even played

Would likely need loaning out to develop

But has potential

Should he really be a priority right now!?


From what i have watched (on YouTube) he appears to be similar to Spence, tricky, has pace, covers a lot of ground and a good passer of the ball.

But he is younger, plays in a league not renowned for it's intensity, and would need to adapt. At just twelve odd million a risk worth taking, put him on loan for the rest of the season and then introduce him to FrankBall.
 
If we were buying players to suit Frank’s system, I literally have no idea what that would be. Not joking.

For all his flaws, we knew what Ange was trying to do. Inverted fullbacks, a high line, press to win the ball high up the pitch to create opportunities, low driven crosses to be met at the back post. Granted, much of that fell away with injuries and other issues. But that was his theory of football.

After watching Frank for months, I have no idea what we are trying to do. Bypassing midfield, winning 2nd balls, break? Got nothing else.

So how do you buy to support that?

Goes back to needing a semi-consistent approach to our football that transfers can build to over successive windows. We are scattershot, thus ineffective.
