You’ve just described our January window when we got Kulu/ Bents or last year (was it Danso,Kinsky — can’t remember) or Bergvall or Bergwijn or Radusin or Porro or just about every January window I can remember outside of Harry’s first.

In fact, you’ve just described every club’s January window as far back as I can remember with almost no exceptions because Spurs have been one of the most active clubs in January lately and I can’t remember the last January mega deal between Premier League clubs — perhaps Fernando Torres on deadline day 2011?

‘SMFH.

Glasner said in the press today they will sell Guehi in Jan. If Man City come in with some cash (bearing in mind their injuries) he will go.

Yeah I read that, if they meet the fee and what not, but I think they'll be looking at replacements now and getting one over the line will be important.

Why we're not all over that is beyond me. While I don't want Frank getting money to spend, there aren't many managers that'll moan at Guehi being in the squad.

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.

Does Souza carry the ball forward for 20-30 metres only to stop and then pass backwards, eliminating the progression forward that he made? If not, he is nothing like Spence.

Richy rarely wins a header when we go long to him. Yes he runs all day, but he isn’t particularly fast so he can close players but doesn’t have the pace that frightens defenders.

The man either does not understand or completely refuses to comply with the offside rule.

His passing is epically shit, yesterday he had a relatively simple ball to square to RKM and instead hit the defenders ankle.

Finally, his finishing is patchy, admittedly we were spoiled with Kane and Son but Richy is a 10 Prem goals a season man and that’s not good enough.

I agree he isn't what we used to, but he's a whole.lot better than the likes of Bentancur. I have him and Porro replaced first.
 
Tough decision need to be made probably most I'm the summer.
Vicario, Porro, Romero, Richie need to go. Bad attitudes and erratic displays over a long period of time.
RKM loan not extended
Don't particularly rate Frank but I hate these players and if we sack frank now these players will be given more time under the new man.
If I was in charge I'd fuck off the players I mentioned in the squad (possibly more) and replace them with the youngsters at least they would give a shit

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.

To start, the most important thing. RIP Chiv. What a Tottenham legend 🤍

Transfer wise, honestly survive for 5 seasons, sell every single one of this lot and just hope the club can start again. Thanks Daniel, what a mess you made of a truly golden opportunity we had to move forward.
