Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

£34m..but still. Guessing Villa dont have the readies.
We have more wriggle room to pay money upfront. Villa would have needed to write it off over 5 years. Not sure if that's the case here but imagine Atletico's preference would be to sell to us and get more upfront.

The big surprise is Gallagher choosing us over them! He must just want to move back to London. Maybe we offered higher wages too. But in terms of a project, he'd have been perfect for Villa. Not really sure if he's going to love playing in our midfield.
 
Oh no, too many on here coming round to the idea of signing Gallagher after the Ornstein tweet..... dangerous imo, I'd wait till the deal is 100%done

Tells you something that we can still take a player out of Villa’s pocket even though they are miles ahead atm
 
Gallagher is a poorer version of Morgan Gibbs White so atleast we are being consistent in our transfer strategy and he's always a player we've wanted. I can't see how he works in a double pivot with Palhinha though. They are too similar and neither really like getting on the ball in tight spaces. He'd have worked far better beside Bentancur.

Maybe the idea is to play Gallagher in the 10? He's another option anyway and a likely starter in most games. Should raise our floor a bit. But yeah I'm not overly excited. Don't think it's the player we need in midfield really. We need a proper ball playing 6. Wharton was the dream.
