Transfers The Winter Transfer Thread - 25/26

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It was obvious we wouldnt sign anyone else after robertson got told to stay at pool. 10m was all the board wanted to spend.

We have 13 injured players and they would rather wait for them to come back.
 
Spurs need to score at least 3 goals, to be sure of winning, in any game that Mickey and fucking Cuti play in.

That's not me being harsh.

That has been becoming a fact over the last 3 seasons.

This entire back 5 of Vicario, Porro, Romero, VDV and Udogie are unreliable in terms of availability, form, temperament, professionalism and pride.

VDV is the only one who I would retain as a potential starting 11 player.

The other 4 i would shitcan in a heartbeat or use as the back up player to someone who you can hang your hat on on to be available and reliable.

I've seen plenty of poor defenders at Spurs in the last 49 years.

This lot are right up there in every measure.
Wow,it’s only Micky and Cuti’s fault that we need to score three to win?
Micky walks into most teams and we need him here. Cuti has his moments where he lets himself down so I can only defend him to a certain extent. Those 2,Xavi and Paulinha are the only ones I’d keep because they actually give a fuck.
We all have our opinions on players but I know if we lose those two we’re are talking about then it’s a massive downgrade with who we get unless Vuskovic hits the ground running in the premier league.
 
They’re self-explanatory.
If someone behaves in a way that lets you down for twenty-five years then the last twenty-four are on you. No-one should be allowed to cheat you twice. It’s not like you haven’t been given sufficient evidence as to how ENIC runs the club. If you choose to willfully ignore it then they’re not cheating you.
 
Well, if it’s at the expense of the Gooners

Haven’t we already got lankshear, Scarlett and prbly a few others.
 
Yeah I'm very tired of both of them tbh. A season that isn't a total fucking catastrophe could change my opinion probably.

The either or clan are just so fucking weird. Liking a player or manager doesn't have to be tribal, is more my point. But this guy, and a couple other lunatics feel the need to dig him out any time he does anything. Micky has been a nightmare with the things he's done this season, but is "captain material". If one isn't, both aren't.

Yeah if both go in the summer, life goes on. Both great players, but their shenanigans are tiring. There's genuinely no one in this squad I'd be angry at losing.

Good post.

Neither Van De Ven or Romero are great players however. Good, yes. Great, no.

You don't want to lose such players but they are as much hindrance than help on occasion.

A stronger and better manager would probably have dealt with both or not been subjected to their nonsense, due to them respecting whoever more.

There are definitely better ways for both to make their points. If they believe it to be necessary.
 
He got frustrated with fans at Bournemouth which happens because he’s annoyed with how it’s going. It’s a human reaction to bite back if you’ve got a set of balls. And walking by Frank was disrespectful but again he’s pissed off at how we are asked to play by him. That’s two incidents in over 2 and a half years. Hardly antics!
We lose him and you’ll realise how lucky we were to have him.
That's this season. And it is antics. It's petulance.

I think you need to pay more attention to the details of our back 5.

At least one of them gives up at least one big chance to opposition teams every single game we play.

Sometimes it's more than 1 big chance per game.

That's without the opposition having to create a chance.

In recent weeks opposing players have been played onside by one defender who stays deep, multiple opposing players are left unmarked, in the 18 yard box, in open play and set piece situations, crosses are rarely blocked, through balls are not intercepted, runs are not tracked, possession is given away under no pressure, defensive headers, especially where Porro and Romero should be, are rarely won, team mates in possession, and under pressure, are left isolated.

Spurs current defenders are not very good at defending.

They play in front of a goalkeeper who is also incapable of catching balls in the air, preferring to punch or not come for crosses at all, who cannot reliably control, pass, throw or clear a ball without often playing defenders into trouble or slicing the ball to opposing players.

We are shit at the back and the rose tinted glasses regarding these defenders needs to come off.

This is the 3rd consecutive season these things have been happening.

It is not bad luck or coincidence.
 
How the fuck can you feel cheated by someone who has done exactly the same thing for the last decade and hasn’t even fucking tried to hide it?
How fucking dumb to you have to be???????????

That’s on you, dude. Not on them.
Because if someone promises you something, and doesn't fulfil their promise. That's cheating them into something.

How fucking dumb do you have to be not to understand that?
