Should have had a plan B, because did the hierarchy really think that given any choice, Spurs would be the place to come??? Toxic Hotspur.Love how we identified Semenyo & then had absolutely no plan B despite being told that we had 6 targets for each position. Either that was a porky pie as Frank stated he wanted players to come in early or we can’t attract anyone due to the mess we are in . I’d go with a bit of both.
Maybe we should forget transfers and concentrate on building that hotel
I do think we will sign someone but it’ll either be a panic buy or underwhelming
On your first point, Kane says hello. I'm sure many people within the club believed Richarlison was that replacement, but they have since proven themselves to be really shit at player profilingI don't understand how you can let a player like Son leave without a clear plan to replace him? I still can't believe we have such incompetent people running this club. When you sell a world class, legendary player, you need to bring in a decent replacement. You can't rely on two teenage nobodies to step up.
6 months on from Son's departure and we still don't have a left-winger to replace him or any real idea of who to target. It makes my blood boil. How can we pay millions of pounds to people like Lange, Paratici and Vinai for this nonsense? What the fuck do they do all day?
We're not signing anyone, there's not a realistic link currently and the leaks have been pretty consistent by this point. I think, absurdly, we are done
It’s a wonder ENIC ever got the stadium built.
“We have identified a contractor but he is not available for a year”
“Better cancel the project and do nothing so”
Antonio Nusa and Jhon Duran would be the smart man's play.
Johan Lange is no smart man.

There's no credit in identifying players. It seems like something Spurs says as an excuse for not doing business. Look at Fulham. They had a need and signed Oscar Bobb to fill it. They didn't talk about better players they could have, and ultimately didn't, sign. They just made the deal. I'd rather have an Oscar Bobb we did sign than listen to a discussion of how we "identified" Semenyo. It feels as if we're being set up to settle for, at most, a loan deal.Love how we identified Semenyo & then had absolutely no plan B despite being told that we had 6 targets for each position.

I've watched him a handful of times now and he's been excellent. Genuinely 2 footed, quick off the mark, can take the defender on the inside and outside.As much as Nusa was talked up as a youngster, he’s got 2 goals and 1 assist in 16 games for Leipzig this season.
Xavi had 10 goals and 7 assists in 25 games for a poorer Leipzig side last season, and he’s not exactly been ripping it up here.
Nusa for anything more than a £20m punt would be the opposite of a smart signing imo.
There is synergy between the two posts. If you can't see it then I cant help you. PRICK
Dead right. I fear Deki is done as well. Really tight on news coming out but the consensus seems to be a kneecap injury that is a difficult recovery for everyday folk, let alone professional footballersThere rarely is with Lange & then one comes from out of nowhere. I think they know they have to reinforce not only for the current state but I sadly think Deki is done , possibly Madders too . We’re criminally short on all attacking positions & now have a squad that has regressed hugely . Is this Enics ambition?
Next summer the excuses will be “ The World Cup” whereas the reality is simply that we have no plan and have proved that for decades
Nusa is better than ever. Not used in his favoured position in RBL, which has been debated a lot, but have been very impressive in a good Norwegian national sideAs much as Nusa was talked up as a youngster, he’s got 2 goals and 1 assist in 16 games for Leipzig this season.

He's been the standout in every game I've watched and I only got into watching them to see what Diomande is all about.Nusa is better than ever. Not used in his favoured position in RBL, which has been debated a lot, but have been very impressive in a good Norwegian national side
Or, maybe, Romano is chatting shit.How the entire fek can you profile Curtis Jones and think that Conor Gallagher is similar in comparison to him, cannot get my head around the rank incompetence, wtf man![]()
I asked ChatGPT if spurs were going to sign anyone else this window and it surprisingly threw up a name I’d not heard mentioned before!
Leon Goretzka.
Not heard much about him to be honest but his showreel is ok
