Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

352 makes sense but please don’t make out this was planned. We have no fucking plan. We just failed to sign players and are left without options

Dragon offers no strength in defence, he’s clearly not good enough

as for your firepower comments…..None of those players provide firepower. I like Solanke but he’s not a goal threat, the others are woeful and less dangerous than a NERF gun

Not sure I agree that Spurs failed to sign players.

Gallagher, Kudus, Palhinha, Xavi, Kolo Muani, Tel. Danso

Have all been signed this season, with most of them improving the starting 11.

To say the strikers don't pose a goal threat is wrong. Richy has more goals than Gyokores, Voldermart and is top 5 in minutes per goal. RKM has quality, but has been played out of position on the wings. Solanke just back from injury, and has netted a couple already.

I'm not massively sold on Aklihouche. Nice player, not sure we can have him and Xavi in the same team.

Personally I'd go for Moussa Diaby on loan and see what's available again in the summer.

I think that's a smarter play than forking out £40m-£50m on a player we clearly aren't too sure about or we'd have pulled the Trichet already in previous windows.

Yeah this is the smart move. However, when have we ever done smart?
 
At this point our only hope is Donald Trump Kidnapping Frank, Vinai and Lanage in the middle of the night and taking them to Guantanamo bay and trying them on charges of Terrorism, still Arteta has got away with it for years so I don't hold much hope? :frankfacepalm:

Useless club FC.

Just wait to Sunday and suddenly reality bites once again.

This CEO,Lange and Frank are the worst thing to happen to this club.

We will only escape the worst case scenario through luck and not design.

I suspect Frank may want to move us to a 3-5-2 ala Conte.

Vic
Danso - Romero - VDV
Spence - Gallagher - Xavi - Palhinha - Udogie
Solanke - RKM

Not signing any wide attacking players to replace Kudus and Johnson suggests the plan is for Porro, Udogie and Spence to offer the width up top.

This would lead to Gallagher, Bissouma and Dragusin being added to the Champions League squad and giving plenty of strength in midfield and defense.

Up top, Solanke, RKM, Richy, Tel, Scarlett provides rotation and firepower; with Odobert able to cover a variety of attacking and wide positions. Tel can be assured of a starting spot in the EPL; with RKM focused on Champs League.
That's not the worst starting 11 and it's definitely not an 11 battling relegation, but we don't have depth in the squad i.e. quality to come off the bench, when you factor in the injuries that WE ALWAYS GET. We need to buy quality players to enable rotation without too much loss in quality. It won't be difficult keeping them all happy as we get plenty of injuries and it may allow us to remain in the cups for longer next season.
 
I have a feeling that there are trust issues between the board and Lange. Particularly the Kinsky case must have put a huge dent in his reputation: after personally having scouted him for 12 games and paid £12,5m for him he's no-where near a 1st team spot - and to make it worse, he's trying to loan him out to a London rival (West Ham) where may also end up being the 2nd choice...and, to make it even worse, trying loan their 2nd choice goalie (Hermansen) who happens to be a fellow Dane...
 
- Desperate for a LW.
- Never replaced Son.
- In a relegation battle.
- Squad is ravaged with injuries.
- Our best players rumoured to be fucked off with the direction of the club.
- Fans fucked off because we're not going in the right direction and the board is demonstrating sweet fuck all ambition.

Address all of those issues and give the squad an injection by signing Rafael Leão or Yildiz and we'll stop complaining for two weeks, you cunts.
