Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

God I hope one of these days the club start to do things properly. I'm almost 40. I want to see more than just a x2 League Cups & 1xEuropa. I was too young for the FA cup in 91. But I might have to count the Vodacom Challenge, Feyenoord Jubileum Tournament, Barclays Asia Trophy, International Champions Cup and who can forget the Audi Cup
I'm 42! remember the 91 FA Cup...

These are our future hopes in that comp...

I worry because how can we attract players to the club if we can't qualify for Europe,
Romero and Mickey will attract big money but can you buy better when they don't spend
Tel - he has something and will improve
Muani - still needs to be replaced

It happen last year - one season at 17th should have been enough.

The lure of Europe has pretty much been shown to be a sham.

I think most players look at what they are being paid and club ambition, and not much else.

We have won the Europa and won't be winning the CL anytime soon, like most teams in truth..

I think we can't attract better quality with the current senior team, including the manager, so for me that's a first step, once survival has been secured.

Certain players will leave regardless, so it's how any such money is spent is how I see it.

I genuinely believe football is in a bit of a trough at the present time, so if we get the manager right, that's nearly all that matters.

It’s clearly been largely used to pay down existing liabilities, making it more likely we get more PSR headroom as many are sold (Richarlison will have been 4 seasons, almost completely paid off summer, maybe £10m left and same book value).

Would be good press for them to say publicly they are going to make what it takes available summer and following two windows, to get us competitive at the top end again. Would be somewhat unbelievable if they actually went through with it, liquidating some other Lewis holdings and bringing it in (buying the women’s team for £100m or such).

Think they could have £200-300m they are willing to invest to bring us up to optimal value for sale, but don’t think they themselves trust the people in place to risk that £200-300m on! Catch22.
As I said in a subsequent post Peter Charrington had said the cash injection reflects the club's and the Lewis family's ambition.

Balancing the books isn't ambitious, there wasn't really a reason to announce the extra money with such a joyful tone, if it's just a matter of paying off some debt and we don't get additional funds for players for the next, forthcoming, transfer window.

So no matter how we look at this money and it's announcement, I feel as if we've been lead down the garden path. if the money was to pay off some of the transfer debt just say so, instead of injecting the supporters with hope that we're getting more transfer funds for January.

Well, according to our CEO himself, more money.

I'm yet to see this imaginary money, but we're told it's coming.
 
Bollocks!

That’s not the behaviour expected of a captain of this club!

If you’ve got issues with lack of transfer activity or any other aspect of how the club is run you deal with it behind closed doors.

What you don’t do is put out a whiny post on social media.

Maybe not the behavior of a captain that toes the company line. But he speaks for all of us when he calls the board out for their bullshit.

I’m all for it.
