Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

People writing off a player they've never seen is classic Spurs fans.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Everyone is tired man. We've signed dozens of these prospects. Look at the team we had out on Wednesday - bergvall, Tel, odobert. Nice players. Nice prospects. Not ready. Will they ever be ready?

Sorry for not getting excited. Hope the young lad turns into a top left back and has a long 10 year career with us where he wins trophies and we challenge for the league. But we've been here before. He'll be loaned back to Brazil next summer
 
Fair.

But the same people writing off this player they've never seen would be absolutely wanking themselves to dust if it was 90m on Diomande.

Another player they've not seen a minute of.

But simply because he's 90m, he's not a punt.

They'd accept a 90m punt but not a economically harmless one.

They prefer transfers like NDombele and Sanchez to Eriksen and Dele.

What's even funnier is they say "why can't we be like Brighton and find the Balebas and Caicedos of the world first".

Who were cheap punts from South America themselves.

Numpties. Stupidity is loud.

Exactly right.

It's what the normalisation of magnitudinal numbers have done to the minds, not just in football but across the piece.

Fcukwitterry in one of its more pernicious forms.,

Start with the first part of your last paragraph and manoeuvre accordingly as time goes on.

Don't lump the administration of the club on his poor shoulders. Encouragement.

A lot of talk on SC that we are in seriously for Paqueta.

Trix is saying that Frank is pushing for him big time, but FP is pushing back.

He says that whether we sign Paqueta this window will be a big sign on whether we are backing Frank or not.

I think this would be a terrible move. A 28/29 year old coming in. I am sorry, I don't like Frank's targets. I don't thinbk Paqueta is a bad player, but is he really what we need?

Sack the fucker please.
He’s exactly what we need

Someone that can control a ball and then pass it
 
Notice that no one from our world-renowned academy get a fair chance to impress in the first team. There is no clear path for these kids to go into the 1st team.
Yet,, we keep buying teenagers from all over the world. I mean ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 

Wait, what? YOU are breaking up with ME?!?

Shit.

This is like one of those long-term relationships where you were totally in your comfort zone and didn't even notice you'd gotten fat and your hair had migrated South while you were completing achievements in COD until they're saying "we need to talk".

Being dumped by Richarlison is a new low.

"You can't dump me! I'm WAY out of your.... oh."

I personally would liked to have seen Donley and Scarlett play for us, some ability there we could use considering our predicament.

Moore as well, however he is getting great experience over at Rangers so I dont mind.

There is a lot of truth in what you say but let's be honest...

We are an utter fucking mess right now with a squad that can't string 5 passes together , more injuries than we have points and we are seemingly poncing about signing 18 year old Brazilians instead of actually doing something to try and address the almighty cluster fuck of a situation we find ourselves in

It would be foolish to write this guy off but for where we are right now , this is probably the least necessary signing we could make

Can't blame people for moaning
 
Apparently this kid is a bit fragile and tends to miss a lot of games due to injury

Welcome to Spurs :frankthumbs:
As I said. He'll be our big marquee signing although we might get someone terrible on loan and maybe splurge a few million on a couple of young unknowns...
And TF will still be here...all us fans know in their hearts that this probably happen...
It can be so depressing sometimes...
As so many people have posted before, "it's the hope that kills you"
